No, Project Legion is not in Open Beta, but I have an idea to make this possible.
So, as we've seen AGES ago, at FanFest, Project Legion actually had an Alpha/Beta build.
Yeah, it reused a lot of assets from Dust, but it was still a playable build, even if it was bare-bones.
The idea I have in mind might actually be effective.
It might give Dust 514 another chance.
THE CONCEPT
Project Legion should be released as an open beta, available to everyone interested. To join the beta, you would have to pay a fee. Veteran Dust 514 players will have a few free days to try out Legion, and will pay a discounted fee to continue playing. This should hopefully get Dust 514 and Legion some much-needed funding, and probably entice some vets to try it out. This can also become a subscription, paying as you go with Monthly or Weekly payments that can be cancelled at any time. Sure, this will require some effort and advertisement, but the game has too cool of a concept to let it go to waste.
If enough people show interest in the beta, this should probably show CCP that there is still more hope for Dust than just SKINS, and might actually increase the overall player base of EVE, Dust, and Legion. If it turns out to be successful, it will be beneficial to everyone.
GAMEPLAY
There will be no character porting in the beta, only creation. All players will have no skills, but instead have different lobbies available to them: MLT, STD, ADV, and PRO. There is also a special CUSTOM lobby available to everyone, which will act as a place to mess around (I see you, Mr. 3 Complex Myos).
LOBBY TYPES
Every lobby has un-editable premade fittings available, and has preset skill levels.
- MLT: Militia Gear only, all skills set to 0.
- Standard: Standard Gear, all skills set to 1-2.
- Advanced: Advanced Gear, all skills set to 3-4.
- Prototype: Prototype / Officer gear, all skills set to 5.
- Custom: All gear available, fittings can be customized unlike other lobbies.

Also the Project has not received the green light. There has not been any news for over a year on it. We don't know what is going on and we probally won't in the near future.
Also you do realize the concept was for PC and forcing people to pay a fee for beta access after what happened would be like pouring salt on a wound.
Also Legion was to replace Dust as the New Eden FPS not join it. The three games (as of right now) are EVE, Valkyrie and Dust 514.
I am sorry but your entire concept is flawed.
Even if it was a video, it's still NOT a lot of effort to just port the game over.
I still have hopes, even if it's a stupid idea.
If the beta were free, it would only make a bigger money sink, plus, it doesn't have to be expensive.
Also, DUST 514 is F2P to begin with, only with OPTIONAL payments.
It does not have to replace Dust, just as I said.
It may be flawed, but it can still work.
