Those who pre-order Infinite Warfare on PS4 will have access to the beta, which starts 14 October. The beta will arrive on Xbox One at a later date but won't be hitting PC due to fears that spoilers could be uncovered through data mining, something we're beginning to see happen more frequently after Titanfall 2’s recent Tech Test also skipped PC.

The multiplayer trailer shows off some of the weapons and perks that will available. Take a look:

You may have noticed that a new addition to the series was teased just at the end of the trailer. Using Salvage, an in-game currency earned during matches, you can craft base weapons into more powerful 'Prototype' weapons. Prototypes come with special Gun Perks that alter the functionality of your weapons and may favour a particular play style.

Those more interested in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered, which is included with Infinite Warfare, will no doubt be happy to know that all 16 maps from the original will be included. 10 maps are available at launch and the other 6 will be released in December at no extra cost.

As an added bonus for PS4 owners, Activision will also be offering Jackal Assault to all players for free. The PSVR title puts you in control of a Jackal, the personal fighter jet from the game.

Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare launches 4 November. We'll update you on the Xbox One beta when more info is released.
