Hi-Rez Studios has announced that the closed beta phase of its upcoming shooter, Tribes: Ascend, will begin on November 4, 2011. The beta is by invitation only, and gamers interested in consideration can register an account at the game’s official website.
“Our vision is to deliver a high production, AAA multiplayer shooter that offers a refreshing alternative to today’s slow paced military shooters, while also happening to be free to play.” said Todd Harris, Hi-Rez Studios Chief Operating Officer. “This holiday season, shooter players can continue to hide in cover and crawl across the ground while playing one of the familiar military-style shooters… Or they can get off their belly, strap on a jetpack and join us in high flying, high-speed combat in Tribes: Ascend!”
