The closed beta test for Final Fantasy XV‘s multiplayer expansion “Comrades” is live today. Those who purchased the Season Pass and have either PlayStation Plus and Xbox Live Gold will be able to check out the game before the full release. Currently the closed beta is scheduled to end on August 8th.
Here are the details of the upcoming multiplayer expansion:
- Beta entry is for those who own the season pass.
- PlayStation®Plus required.
- You can create and save up to 8 characters.
- Develop avatars using experience gained from defeating enemies and completing quests.
- Noctis and his friends will also be made playable at a later date. (probably after Episode Ignis is out?)

- Weapons include katana, club, dagger, polearm, crossbow, shields, and shuriken.
- Attack patterns vary from those of Noctis.

- The beta will include three quests.
- There's a cooking system where you and your party collect ingredients during the quest to cook them afterward.
