Rise Of Incarnates' Beta Is Now Live
Rise of Incarnates, Bandai Namco's two on two free-to-play melee shooter, has officially entered beta.
In the game, players play as fighters with recently awakened abilities allowing them to use the powers of gods and demons. Some characters transform into super-powered gods and demons, while others can summon gods and demons to help them fight.
The beta is open to everyone. All you will need to participate is a capable PC and a Steam account. The beta is currently live, and will be going until August 17, giving you a little over a week to dive in and try out some combat.
You can find details about the game's PC requirements, and a link to download the game's beta client by heading here. For more on Rise of Incarnates, you can find some of our hands-on impressions of the game by heading here.

Our Take
Rise of Incarnates' main competition are MOBAs, but it is mechanically a lot different from those games. It's a genre that really has no footing in North America – the two versus two online action game – but it is very popular in Japan. I'm curious to see how the game is received by players here in the United States.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
