NetEase Games and Bad Guitar Studio revealed a new trailer for FragPunk during the Xbox presentation at Tokyo Game Show. The trailer showcased new content and announced a closed beta. The closed beta test for FragPunk will take place from October 10 to October 21 on PC via Steam and Xbox Series X|S with crossplay.
Those who participated in FragPunk’s closed alpha test in June on Steam will receive automatic access to the closed beta test via the Steam Library. Xbox players can register for the closed beta test via the Xbox Insider Hub app right now. PC players can also do so via the game’s official Steam Page.
The newest FragPunk trailer reveals some of the content that will appear in the upcoming test. It included new Lancers, new Shard Cards, multiple maps to battle in, and new game modes.
The two new lancers that will be playable are Sonar and Spider. These characters have abilities that will buff their teammates, making them great support characters. Sonar and Spider will debut alongside other brand-new powerful weapons that can enhance the arsenals of all the Lancers in the game.
The new Shard Cards include the Birdman Card which will let players glide across the battlefield, and two status effect cards involving flashbang effects that can be used to counter each other, named Flashlight and Safety Glasses.
FragPunk is a 5v5 hero shooter that was first announced in June during the Xbox Games Presentation. The shooter is console exclusive to Xbox Series X|S and it has no plans to release on Nintendo Switch or PlayStation 5 for now.
