Red 5 Studios announces that open beta testing of Firefall will begin on July 9th, considerately allowing those interested to clear their schedules months in advance. "We’re incredibly excited to be nearing what we consider to be the most important stage of Firefall’s development – Open Beta," said James Macauley, Vice President of Development, Red 5 Studios. "For us, Open Beta isn’t a traditional ‘marketing beta’, but rather an opportunity to include many more players in our community-driven development process. We’re looking forward to welcoming these new players into the community and continuing to build an amazing game together." You can sign up on the newly launched Firefall website and more details on the beta can be found in this FAQ.
