SEGA and developer Creative Assembly have announced that a closed beta test for the upcoming multiplayer FPS HYENAS will go live on PC from August 31 to September 11. Those interested in the beta can request access from the game’s Steam page. Additionally, players who participated in the games alpha will also receive a key for the beta earlier on August 29. A new gameplay Trailer was also released. HYENAS will launch sometime in 2023 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC via Steam.
The game’s details via SEGA can be seen below:
In HYENAS, the world is broken… literally. The billionaires have finally made it to Mars, leaving Earth and those tax bills far behind. The zero-gravity tech that powered their journey has shattered our planet, abandoning us in a drifting slum called the ‘Taint’.. The only thing the rich care for is rare Merch, pop culture swag from the lives we left behind, which they loot from the rubble to furnish their Martian mansions.
Time for us to steal it back. Lumbering spaceship shopping malls, known as Plunderships, are plump with nostalgic booty stolen from Earth’s remains and packed with the sort of hired thugs, alarm systems and armed drones only the hyper-rich can afford. Assemble your crew of Hyenas from a ragtag cast of uniquely skilled and armed criminal misfits to get in, get the Merch and get the hell out.
It’s space piracy smash and grab, with your team of three fighting against four other crews to nab the spiciest haul and grab the getaway. You’ll need both guns and guile; each Plundership is a sandbox playground of interlocking systems creating endless opportunities for slick teams to exploit the environment, security networks, hired goons and competing crews to gain an edge.
And when it all kicks off, blisteringly quick movement and lethal combat combine in hazardous, and often switchable, zero-G zones, providing dramatic opportunities for you to master your environment to trap and eliminate other crews.
