PRAGUE, CZECH REPUBLIC – April 13, 2023 – Fulqrum Publishing and Best Way today announce that an open beta for the highly-anticipated real time strategy title Men of War II will begin on Thursday, May 11 and conclude on Monday, May 15. It will be available to download for free via the Men of War II Steam page, where players can immediately head to and sign up for access today.
The open beta is the second opportunity players have to get hands-on with Men of War II, following a successful initial multiplayer tech test last month. The upcoming beta will once again feature a varied selection of multiplayer maps and modes, but will also introduce never-before-seen single-player content, and implement a number of gameplay changes based on community feedback.
"With Men of War II we aim to deliver exciting new experiences and make fresh gameplay innovations to the Men of War franchise." said Maxim Kamensky, Men of War II Producer at Best Way. "We remain ever grateful to our long-time fans for their support and feedback, and where possible, will be incorporating some of the highly requested changes into the upcoming beta, with further additions being made at release and beyond.”
Enlisting in the open beta is simple; players need to head over to the Men of War II Steam store page where they will have the option to ‘Request Access’ for a Men of War II Playtest - doing so will guarantee access to the playtest, furthermore, everyone that signs up ahead of time will receive an email notification once the beta is live.
Men of War II will be available for PC via Steam, Epic Games Store and other digital stores in 2023.
