Raiders Of The Broken Planet's Closed Beta Begins May 13th

MercurySteam announced today that its 4v1 asymmetric competitive online cover shooter Raiders of the Broken Planet will enter Closed Beta testing on May 13th. The first Closed Beta test will last approximately 24 hours, running from May 13th to May 14th.

The announcement was made alongside the release of a new website and a trailer showing off the game's 4v1 gameplay. Four players will band together as Raiders to fight aliens, which are lead by the one player that is on their own.

It was also announced that Raiders of the Broken Planet will feature four "self-contained adventure campaigns." The first one, Alien Myths, will be available at launch, whereas the rest will be added over the course of 2017. According to the press release, "each campaign tells a parallel story and can be enjoyed in any order and will be packed to the rafters with new missions, new characters and tons of new content, each developing and growing the sci fi universe of Raiders." More details about the game's four campaigns are set to be unveiled in the near future.
