Confirmed
Current Status
In Korea, the same window is October 16 at 07:00 KST to October 20 at 02:00 KST. The June closed beta lasted about a week, but that older schedule does not apply to this selected-player co-op test. Full test details. 1 2
Access Window Versus Content Length
The October interval is 91 hours, or 3 days and 19 hours. It describes selected-player access rather than a promised campaign length. Korea and Beijing show October 20 as the end date because of time-zone conversion; UTC and North America show October 19.
June's roughly one-week beta was a different event. Plan around the time zone in the official schedule, and follow later developer changes rather than assuming previous access remains valid. 3 4
