Disintegration Open Beta Now Live On All Platforms

The open beta for Disintegration--the upcoming FPS from the co-creator of Halo--is now available to everyone on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One, developer V1 Interactive announced on Twitter.

Disintegration's open technical beta will run until Saturday, February 1, and follows the two days V1 opened Disintegration's closed multiplayer beta for. The closed beta featured two modes and maps, and let you choose from seven different "Crews." These crews are different character roles with unique loadouts. It is likely the open technical beta will include the same features as the closed multiplayer beta.

Revealed prior to its official announcement, Disintegration made an appearance during Gamescom 2019's Opening Night Live broadcast. Marcus Lehto, co-creator of the Halo series and former creative art director at Bungie, announced Disintegration as an amalgam of traditional multiplayer gameplay with PvE elements.

Lehto recently opened up about his decision to part with Bungie, which happened in October 2012. According to Lehto, "the bad side of extended crunch periods that would go on for months and months" is the main reason why he left the Destiny studio. "We don't want to experience that, we don't want to replicate that at all again [at V1]," Lehto said. "We also value, incredibly, the health of everybody here--both physically and mentally. Making sure they have that time outside the office to be with their family."
