Paragon Open Beta Dates Revealed

Epic Games has confirmed the open beta dates for Paragon, its upcoming PS4 and PC MOBA. The first phase starts on April 28 and will run until May 1. The second phase begins on May 5 and will be playable until May 8. The servers will be online from 9 AM PT/5 PM UK time for both events.

"The first stress test will include invites for the first 500,000 people who signed up for the beta only," Epic said. "The second stress test will include invites for anyone who signs up before May 1."

The Paragon open beta will be playable on both the PC and PlayStation 4, as it is designed to stress test servers. In order to download it, you'll need to install the Epic Games Launcher, which is available on the studio's official website. After that, you'll need to create an account and link your PSN account, which will make the beta client available in the PlayStation store.

Epic has also made a physical edition of the game available on PS4, which gives you skins, five Hero Master Challenges, and in-game currency for $60. You can also buy into Paragon on PC and PS4 with digital Founder's Packs that cost $20, $60, and $100. This will let you play the game now.
