Exoborne Vertical Extraction Shooter: First Playtest Sign-Up Available
Sharkmob, the creators behind the highly anticipated Exoborne, have announced the first-ever public playtest for their new vertical extraction shooter. This exciting opportunity will allow curious shooter fans to get a firsthand experience of the game in February 2024.
What to Expect in Exoborne Playtest
During a recent preview of Exoborne, we had the chance to see the game in action and were impressed by its potential, especially for more casual players looking for a less punishing gaming experience. The game offers a unique focus on verticality, allowing players to zip around with grappling hooks and chargeable power-jumps while gliding back down with a re-deployable parachute.
Executive producer Brynley Gibson shared their excitement about the upcoming playtest, highlighting the significance of this milestone for the development team. This public test will provide valuable insights and feedback from the community to enhance the game further and take it to new heights.
How to Join the Exoborne Playtest
The Exoborne playtest is scheduled to take place from February 12 to February 17, giving players a five-day window to explore the game’s mechanics and features. To participate, simply head over to Steam and hit the “request access” button to secure your spot. Additionally, staying connected with the Exoborne Discord server will keep you updated on all the latest developments and announcements.
Andy’s Take on Exoborne and Sharkmob
As someone who has been gaming on PCs since the early days of text adventures and primitive action games, Andy has a deep appreciation for immersive gaming experiences. Having enjoyed Sharkmob’s previous game, Vampire: The Masquerade–Bloodhunt, Andy was disappointed by its premature end in 2023.
However, the prospect of Exoborne’s playtest has reignited Andy’s interest in Sharkmob’s approach to game development. While the setting may not be as captivating as Bloodhunt, the promise of similar gameplay mechanics has Andy excited for what Exoborne has to offer.
Andy’s journey through the gaming industry, from covering news for The Escapist to joining PC Gamer, has given him a unique perspective on the evolution of gaming. His passion for RPGs, immersive sims, and shooters shines through in his writing, making him a valuable voice in the gaming community. And let’s not forget his love for Henry Cavill, which adds a touch of humor to his gaming coverage.
