Sega and developer Creative Assembly have released the first official gameplay for their upcoming PC shooter, Hyenas, as the game gets ready for a showcase at Gamescom 2023.

In this game, players will find hero-based multiplayer extraction gameplay pitting five teams of three against each other (and relentless NPC security teams known as MURFS) as they race to steal valuable pop culture memorabilia from expansive, themed Plunderships.

More details on the gameplay that was shown in the trailer, can be found on the games official site.

While the game has seen a number of closed alphas in Europe and the USA, the rest of the world has been excluded from them, until now. Sega have announced that a closed beta is set to take place at the end of the month. Anyone who wants to take part can submit their interest here, with the dates running from late August 31st to late September 11th.

This Closed Beta will feature eight specialists including newcomers Mozie – the OG Hyena – and rock-and-roll roadie Digits. They will join ballerina Prima, astronaut Commander Wright, super speedy cosplayer Hero-Ki, Sniper El Silbón, gamer Doc Hotfix and defence connoisseur drag queen Galaxia as they dive into zero-G action across the massive Plundership, Earth Vintage.

When the game is released in full, it will come to PC, Mac, Xbox and PlayStation, but there is no set date for that yet.
