The beta test for Metal Gear Online is now accessible via the PlayStation Network, users finally being able to get into the delayed preview of this eagerly awaited new title.

The beta was pushed back earlier this week, as and Sony's infrastructure struggled to copy with intense interest surrounding the beta, however it appears the servers have been readied and we can now dive in.

Metal Gear Online will be released alongside 4 later this summer, and as you may have guessed will offer a full experience to fans of Hideo Kojima's series.

We'll keep you posted on the progress of this test, naturally.
