Don't miss your chance to check out Square Enix's new Splatoon-like party shooter free this weekend
At Summer Game Fest 2023, Square Enix surprised us by announcing a colorful four-versus-four shooter called Foamstars. The game is all about spraying down enemies and the arena with blue, pink, purple, and green bubbles. It drew immediate comparisons to Nintendo's Splatoon series, but it's much more than just a clone. In fact, it was one of our favorite games that we got to try out at Summer Game Fest!
But now you don't have to take our word for it. If you own a PlayStation 5, you can take part in the Foamstars Open Beta Party happening this weekend, from 6 p.m. PDT on September 29, 2023 to 11:59 p.m. PDT on October 1, 2023. The beta event is totally free and open to anyone on PlayStation 5, even if you don't have a PlayStation Plus subscription. Players who participate will even receive a special cosmetic as a thank-you for helping with the test.
Square Enix says the beta will eight playable characters and two game modes. In "Smash the Star" mode, players will attempt to knock out a "star player" on the opposing time, while "Happy Bath Survival" mode will split the two teams of four into "infield" players who must be taken out and "outfield" players who provide support.
For those who don't yet have a PlayStation 5 or are waiting for the full version, you hopefully won't have to wait too much longer. Foamstars will launch on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 sometime in early 2024. TapTap's editors will be jumping into the beta this weekend, and we'll report back on our quick first impressions next week.
