Bandai Namco Entertainment revealed this week that Gundam Breaker 4 is getting an Open Network Test on July 19th.
This test will allow players to see how the Gunpla building and battling title performs without having to spend a dime on it (which is a very welcome thing in this day and age, especially after New Gundam Breaker failed to impress fans with its poor gameplay and derivative missions). A preload option will be available on July 18th, and the full testing dates are as follows:
- Day 1, Friday 19th July:
- Session 1 from 01:00 BST to 06:00 BST
- Session 2 from 10:00 BST to 16:00 BST
- Day 2 Saturday 20th July / Sunday 21st July:
- Game available from 20th July at 03:00 BST to 21st July at 07:00 BST
Preorders are already live, but I’ll personally be waiting for this test to see whether this is a return to Gundam Breaker 3‘s form or a retread of New Gundam Breaker before I spend any money on the game.
