The beta officially ends on October 30. Here's what's included:

- You’ll be able to play in both the Metropolis and Hades stages.
- Four-player online tournaments and 2 v 2 online tournaments. For the 2 v 2 games we’ll be supporting friend invites, so you and a friend can fight another team online.
