THE CYCLE PC Weekend Playtest Announced by YAGER

Today YAGER announced an extended, weekend-long playtest for its upcoming competitive quest shooter, The Cycle. The extended playtest will run from Friday, May 17, at 11 a.m. ET through Monday, May 20, at 3 a.m. ET. YAGER’s community-driven development style has been a big success for the team, with feedback from all five weekly playtests being incorporated into the game’s frequent updates.

YAGER is also excited to announce that a second map, new game mode, additional weapon mods and more are coming to closed beta, which is scheduled to launch in the coming weeks. For more details, you can check out the newest development update video from Executive Producer Jonathan Lindsay.

The Cycle is a match-based first-person shooter with an emphasis on PvPvE action, completing jobs, gearing up with new weapons and powers, out-scoring other players, and making it off the planet alive. On the exotic alien frontier of Fortuna III, you’ll compete against and – if you choose – team up with other prospectors to harvest resources, defeat hostile lifeforms, and make your fortune before the world, your rivals or even your so-called allies kill you. It’s up to you how to stake your claim: go it alone, form squads with friends, or make uneasy temporary alliances with strangers. The Cycle delivers a competitive multiplayer experience where everyone can survive, but how you choose to manage your time on Fortuna III will have a big impact.

The Cycle is expected to enter closed beta soon. For the latest information on the game and its playtest schedule, visit www.thecycle.game.
