First Assault Early Access Begins December 14th
Keeping in line with a promise to release First Assault before 2016, Nexon and Neople announced today that the Ghost in the Shell shooter will be released as an Early Access title through Steam on December 14th. The release is a bit surprising considering the sci-fi FPS has only had one Closed Beta test under a strict NDA.
Ultimately First Assault will be free to play but for now it is releasing into an Early Access state, following precedent eager players will have to pay for entry. There are four packs to choose from, ranging from a reasonable $4.99 to $29.99:
Recruit Early Access Pack - $4.99
Provides beta access and exclusive MP-V5A Rare Tachikoma Weapon Skin. Available on Steam and the Nexon Launcher. (Value: $5.99)
