Far Cry 3 left a pretty big impression on me when I saw it running at last year’s Ubisoft Press Conference at E3. It looks like everyone will be able to get their hands on the game later this summer on Xbox Live and the PlayStation Network.

The multiplayer beta allows up to 16 players to compete in several modes including Deathmatch and the Firestorm mode, a mode based around the game’s fire physics. Ubisoft promises six playable classes will be available in the beta along with dozens of weapons.

There are multiple ways for you to enter the beta. Check them out after the jump.

You can get your hands on the Far Cry 3 beta by:

  • By picking up a copy of Ghost Recon Future Soldier this Tuesday you will receive an invitation to the closed beta. In the United States this promotion is currently only for GameStop Power-UP Rewards members, a program which sadly does not exist here in Canada.
  • Ubisoft will be giving away beta invites through their official facebook page leading up the launch of the Far Cry 3 beta.
  • Further keys will be available through Ubisoft’s own websites – http://www.ubi.com and http://farcrygame.com

Far Cry 3 is set to be released on September 4th 2012 in North America for Windows PC, Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.
