The Rusty Hearts open beta is scheduled to kick off today, September 13 at 6 p.m. PDT, making the anime-inspired action MMO available to all players! The open beta will increase the level cap to 25 and add new quests, dungeons, skill and items to the game, as well as a new village. It will also mark the launch of official European servers.

Of course, it wouldn't be an open beta release without some in-game events. Perfect World Entertainment will be giving out a wireless Logitech F710 controller and some limited edition Rusty Hearts posters to players who can collect the most gold, get the highest combo and complete a specific dungeon in Very Hard difficulty in the quickest time. Check out the full schedule for all the details.
