Buriedbornes2 will distribute pre-releases prior to update releases as needed to ensure a more stable release.
What is “Prior Release”?
This is a test version that allows you to play the latest version, which will be delivered next, prior to the full release.
This is open to all participants who meet the following participation requirements.
When the latest content is delivered, you can be the first to access it, but it may be unstable.
In some cases, we may also deliver to players who are unable to play due to an unprogressive problem, with the goal of delivering a playable environment to them as soon as possible.

FAQ
Will the progress made in the prior release carry over to the Production release?
Yes, you use the same data as in the Production release.
When will the Prior Release be distributed?
In the future, it will be delivered 1-2 days before the Production release. (For major updates, we will distribute about 1-2 weeks in advance and take a slightly longer prior release period.)
If no major degradation (problem recurrence or another problem) is confirmed in the prior release, we will proceed with this release.
If a degradation is confirmed, this release may be postponed.
