Those interested in the pre-alpha test for co-op shooter Polaris will have to wait a bit longer. Developer Variable State announced that they have to delay the pre-alpha test until later this fall.
The studio notes that they want to further polish the early build for an improved playtest experience.
Those who are still interested in getting into the test, now have a bit of extra time to do so. All you need to do is sign up for the Polaris newsletter and you'll get 4 pre-alpha Steam keys ahead of the playtest.
Pre-Alpha Content & Caveats:
- This early development build of POLARIS will include a single level to explore with 1 - 4 players.
- Playable prototype of the game, with some work-in-progress features
- The playtest includes a dynamically destructible environment, flying abilities and co-op shooter-action
About This Game
Skylancer: Our planet has been overtaken by the Regime. Join us and together we will shatter the yoke of their oppression.
COOPERATIVE PVE EXTRACTION
Take flight with up to 3 other players for 4 player team-oriented gameplay, focused around guerilla warfare against the Regime.
It's your team vs the environment. Get in, wage a guerilla war of resistance, and destroy as much enemy infrastructure as you can on the way out!
A PLAYGROUND OF DESTRUCTION
Battle through completely destructible cityscapes. Smash, destroy, and otherwise tear down the Regime's infrastructure of oppression over the course of every match. Each session is unique, with a reactive and ever-evolving combat environment.
Carve doorways out of walls, tunnel through terrain, and unleash an arsenal of destruction!
TURN THE TOOLS OF YOUR ENEMY AGAINST THEM
Assume the mantle of Skylancer and reclaim the birthright of your ancestors. Fly, extract, and unearth the coveted mysteries that drive the Regime's war of conquest!
COMMUNITY-FOCUSED DEVELOPMENT
We're a small and scrappy team of 11 people, aided by the tools and technologies of Unreal Engine 5.
We're excited about the game we've built with Polaris, and wholeheartedly invite our community to share feedback.
