The server test, originally set to last just 12 hours, will now run for three days, from April 19 to 21. It will be available to play on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, and is available to pre-load now on all platforms.
After missing multiple potential release windows due to development issues, the server test session marks the first time the game has been playable by the public since late 2023.
A recent report claimed that the game's development was being derailed by a "Boys Club" and a "toxic work culture," on top of issues with the game's party system and netcode. But in late March, Ubisoft confirmed that server testing was coming , and now it's here.
