Creative Assembly’s highly anticipated multiplayer extraction shooter, “Hyenas,” has just unveiled a new trailer, and fans will have the chance to experience the game themselves through an upcoming closed beta on PC later this month.
This zero-gravity, hero-based first-person shooter introduces players to a team of playable “misfit anti-heroes” known as the Hyenas. In this unique FPS title, players collaborate to steal valuable goods from ‘Plunderships’ making their journey from Earth back to Mars. This innovative concept stands in contrast to other popular FPS games, offering players a fresh and engaging gameplay experience.
Starting from August 31, a select group of players will have the opportunity to dive into the action during the closed beta. The beta will feature eight specialists, including newcomers like Mozie, the original Hyena, and Digits, the rock-and-roll roadie. These specialists will join existing characters such as Prima the ballerina, Commander Wright the astronaut, Hero-Ki the super speedy cosplayer, El Silbón the sniper, Doc Hotfix the gamer, and Galaxia the defense connoisseur drag queen. The closed beta will provide an exciting glimpse into the game’s zero-G action within the vast confines of the Plundership, Earth Vintage.

To participate in the closed beta, players can head to the game’s Steam page and request access by clicking the prominent “request access” button. While participation isn’t guaranteed, expressing interest through this method provides a chance to be selected for the closed beta.
For those attending Gamescom in Cologne, Germany, there’s an extra treat in store. Attendees will have the opportunity to experience Hyenas firsthand at the event, without needing access to the closed beta. Gamescom promises a plethora of other exciting games to try, including Persona 5 Tactica and Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon.
Even if you won’t be attending Gamescom, there’s still the anticipation of “Opening Night Live” on August 22 at 8pm CET. Hosted by Geoff Keighley, the show will focus on updates for some of the most significant games slated for release in the coming year, offering fans a chance to stay informed about the latest developments in the gaming world.
