If you are a European PS Plus subscriber with nothing to do this Sunday, you’re in luck. The stress test beta for Dark Souls 2 will be open for a limited time to all EU PS Plus subscribers from 7:00am to 10:00am GMT on October 27th. You can apparently download the game client on the EU PSN right now, best go do it soon if you actually want to play on Sunday.
For North American and South American fans–it’s a little more confusing gaining beta access. According to the Dark Souls Facebook page, they will start sending out codes to randomly selected players this Thursday(Oct 24th). Additionally they will be posting a universal code on the Facebook page and the first 30,000 people to redeem it on PSN will gain access to the beta. The NA/SA stress test beta will be open from 11:00PM PDT on Saturday 10/26 to 2:00 AM PDT Sunday 10/27.
So yeah, better be watching your PSN messages and the officiall Dark Souls Facebook page tomorrow like a hawk.
