Apparently Dark Souls 2 closed beta invites from Namco Bandai are making the rounds to select PSN users, according to a few threads on Reddit.
Not sure what you need to do in order to please the gods at Namco Bandai for sure, but word is that you need to be a PlayStation Plus member with a Dark Souls save file on your PlayStation.
According to Polygon, there’s no registration process, and closed beta participants will be stress testing the multiplayer server for stress and optimization.
There’ll be two tests: October 12th, and October 26th, and the first 5,000 people to redeem their invite will be selected.
