As previously announced, the first beta starts on February 22 and ends on March 3. During this session, players will not be able to import characters and all created characters will be wiped once the beta ends.
During the second beta, however, players will be allowed to use their PS3 or PC characters and any new characters that are created will carry over to the full game. Players can access this beta on April 4.
