SQUARE ENIX has announced that a playable worldwide open beta for FOAMSTARS will be held on September 30th, 2023.
FOAMSTARS is an online party shooter that pits teams of up to 4 players against each other in various game modes.
Soa, ΔGITO, Tonix, Jet Justice, Mel T, The Baristador, Rave Breaker, and Pen Gwyn will all be available as playable characters during the beta.
Two game modes will be available to test in the Open Beta Party, SMASH THE STAR and HAPPY BATH SURVIVAL.
In SMASH THE STAR, players compete in a frantic battle where the winning strategy changes as the match progresses.
Each team must battle it out and secure seven knockouts on the opposing team.
Once this is achieved, the best player is chosen to be the “Star Player” and becomes the key to victory.
To win the match, teams must defeat the opposing team’s “Star Player”while also protecting their own.
HAPPY BATH SURVIVAL is a battle between two teams comprised of two “infield” players and two “outfield” players.
Victory is earned by defeating both opponent “infield” players, while “outfield” players support and provide defense for their teammates.
Access to the FOAMSTARS beta is free, and a PlayStation Plus Subscription is not required to join the beta.
The beta will available to download from the PlayStation Store when it goes live.
