Jon Shiring, the lead engineer for at Respawn Entertainment, on Friday that the game's first is now live. The open event (no pre-orders or game codes necessary) which runs through the weekend will give players the chance to try out the game's first two mechs (Ion and Scorch). Players will also be treated to five new competition styles: Bounty Hunt, 5v5, Pilots vs. Pilots and 8v8.
In , Shiring describes this test version as a pre-alpha build with known bugs, so don't be surprised if the gameplay isn't quite polished yet. The whole point of letting anyone interested play is so Respawn can and hopefully avoid problems at launch. Next weekend phase two of the testing will occur with different maps, game modes, titans and more. The full game is slated .
