2K Games and 31st Union have teamed up on a new roguelike hero shooter. A community playtest for the game, Project ETHOS, is happening the weekend of October 17-20, and you can sign up now. We've got all the details on the game and how to get in to try it out.
What is Project ETHOS?
As previously stated, Project ETHOS is considered a roguelike hero shooter. The free-to-play third-person game looks to have some elements of Overwatch, Deadlock, and a battle royale like Fortnite.
There are different characters for you to choose on your team of three. A large map is where you'll battle others with your abilities. And there's plenty of movement options from diving in to using a zipline.
The Project ETHOS community playtest lets you try out all of its in-development aspects. So, you can see if you're up to par with some of the game's partners that were given access before everyone else.
