14 DAY TRIAL // Space Punks, the top-down looter-shooter developed by Polish studio Flying Wild Hog, is getting an open beta next month. Starting April 20, fans of the genre can play the game’s open beta for free on the Epic Games Store. Those who like Space Punks and wish to further support the development, can purchase one of the two Founders Packs available: Swag Pack ($30 / €24) and Splendor Pack ($50 / €40).
It’s important to mention that Space Punks is a free-to-play top-down action RPG set in an original sci-fi universe reminiscent to Borderlands. In fact, the resemblance with Gearbox’s popular game is uncanny, so if you’re a fan of the franchise, you’ll most likely love Space Punks too.
“We are incredibly proud of what we have built with Space Punks so far. The last few months of Early Access were instrumental in refining and tuning the core gameplay concepts we want to create - in line with all important player feedback at every step of development. Players can look forward to a unique mix of over-the-top sci-fi action-RPG wrapped in self-aware humor, with enough guns, grenades, gadgets and gizmos to keep them always coming back for more,” said Michał Kuk, Head of Cracow Studio for Flying Wild Hog and Space Punks Game Director.
Those who’ve already played Space Punks will find that the Open Beta update will bring a completely overhauled core gameplay loop with new “Get-A-Job” and Craftron 2000 system improvements, along with new end-game content with “The Crack,” a new endless experience, set in the depths of a black hole, where up to 4 players can explore the unknown.
While Space Punks will make its debut on PC on April 20, a console release for both Xbox and PlayStation platforms has been confirmed for 2022 as well. However, it’s unclear when the console version of the game will be out.
