Those who have been itching to hop into the PvPvE survival shooter The Cycle’s next closed beta test are going to have to wait a few days longer. The game was set to start its next test last week, but days before the beta was scheduled, the devs announced a delay, pushing the test into Wednesday, March 16th.
“There are some things that need to be polished in order for things to run smoothly, as well as some tech-related things that are handled by external partners, and unfortunately we couldn’t pull it all off for the 10th,” a follow-up tweet explains. The test in question is set to start sometime in the early afternoon CET, which would put it around the morning hours of the Eastern time zone, and will run until Monday, April 4th.
For those who don’t recall, The Cycle is a multiplayer PvPvE FPS that we first covered in July 2018. The game is described as “a first-person shooter with a twist” that sees players joining factions to complete missions, fight against monsters and other players, and ultimately leave the map alive to unlock new tools, upgrades, and weapons. The shooter has gone through several tests up to this point, with closed alpha tests running through 2021 and closed beta tests starting this past September.
Hey Prospectors!
As we approach the Closed Beta, we regret to inform you that we have to postpone our intended March 10th launch date.
We have moved the dates for Closed Beta 2. It will launch on March 16th and end on April 4th. We are sorry for the delay. pic.twitter.com/7tTQoDfYLu
