Pre-order now to play the beta from July 20th – 25th, 2022, and get hands-on at the ‘Battle for the Void’ LAN event at TwitchCon Europe in Amsterdam this weekend.
Team17 and Small Impact Games have today announced that the upcoming PvPvE looter shooter Marauders will hold a closed PC beta test via Steam from July 20th – 25th, 2022, available to all pre-orders.
Following a successful closed alpha test earlier in the year, the Marauders closed beta will let players loose with a barrage of new content including two new raid locations: the ‘Terraformer’ – a newly abandoned agricultural hub built on top of an asteroid shard, and the ‘Merchant Ship’ – an expansive, breach-able frigate perfect for intimate and long-range firefights. The beta will also introduce two additional firearms: the Heavy Thompson and the Klobb Machine Pistol; alongside the ‘Scrap Bomb’ – a hand-held heavy explosive device; numerous quality-of-life improvements such as a ‘Quick Loot’ option and foldable bags for economic inventory management; further cosmetic choices and audio effects, and many more surprises for players to uncover themselves.
Those looking to join the closed beta can pre-order the game now to receive 10% off their purchase and immediate access when it launches next week. All pre-order purchases will also automatically receive the Space Pirate cosmetic pack, which will be available when Marauders launches into Steam Early Access and Game Preview via PC Game Pass later this year.
During the Marauders closed PC beta, players can squad up or run solo in deep space, dieselpunk battleground with up to 15 other players. During each match, they’ll be able to breach hostile spaceships; salvage valuable cargo, including an arsenal of iconic weapons from the last century; and do battle with other players and AI opponents in tense PvPvE combat; all before making their escape.
