Dirty Bomb, Splash Damage's upcoming shooter, has officially opened its beta programme to all-comers today, requiring no codes or invitations to participate.
Best known for its work on Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, Splash Damage's latest creation is a blend of first-person shooter and free-to-play MOBA set in a near-future London. Developed in partnership with Nexon over the last few years, the game has been operating in an invitation-only closed beta which has now opened up fully for all Windows gamers to try.
'
No more access keys, no more buy-in, no more raffles, no more sign-ups; anyone in our service area that wants to play Dirty Bomb can download it through the Steam client and play for free,' the development team confirmed in a
blog post last week. '
It’s taken a long time to get here. Over the last few years, we at Splash Damage and Nexon have been working hard to make Dirty Bomb a shooter that rewards skill and coordination above all else. With five maps designed for the classic Objective style gameplay, a dozen unique mercs and more, Dirty Bomb is an FPS like none other.'
The companies have promised that more content is to come, stating that '
more features, more maps, new ways to play and, of course, plenty of new Mercs' - the name given to the user-selectable MOBA-style heroes of the game - will be released throughout Dirty Bomb's open beta.
The beta is available via
Steam, but has not yet unlocked for invite-free download.
