New content will be released weekly throughout the five-week course of the open beta test, and a host of community events are planned.

The open beta test will be available via Steam and the game’s official website, and support English, French, German, Turkish, Japanese, Korean, and Traditional Chinese language options.

The following content will be featured:

The open beta includes a wealth of content from the full game, including a variety of characters to play as, enemy Nanos to fight, and environments to explore. We’ll also be offering a number of player-versus-environment and player-versus-player game modes, including Dead Sector Runs, Elite Runs, and Nerva Runs. A host of community events and in-game activities offering sweet prizes will also take place during the open beta period, ensuring that players will always have something exciting to do.

The open beta includes both player-versus-environment (fight against AI) and player-versus-player (against both AI and players) content. However, as SYNCED is primarily a team-based game, the open beta does not include any strictly single-player oriented content.

While the open beta provides an excellent taste of the core SYNCED experience, we expect the game to continuously change and improve significantly before launch. As such, it will not be possible to carry forward any progress made during the open beta, as certain elements or game systems may no longer work the same way.

We appreciate every player who decides to take up arms against the Nano hordes during the SYNCED open beta, and are offering a number of rewards that will carry forward to the full game. Head to the official website for a breakdown of pre-registration rewards, and keep an eye on community channels for details on additional permanent rewards.

The companies also announced that console versions of SYNCED are planned for release following the release of the PC version. Specific consoles were not announced.
