Dust 514, et af stadens mest interessante MMO-koncepter, er netop trådt ind i sin åbne beta-fase. I en frisk pressemeddelelse fortæller CCP, at den åbne beta nu kan hentes gratis af alle Playstation 3-ejere. Da spillet bruger Free to Play-modellen, er spillet derfor gratis at spille herfra og til evigheden. Det får først sit endegyldige kvalitetstempel senere på året, men kan man acceptere beta-stadiet indtil videre, kan man give den gas i spillets store, online FPS-miljø allerede fra i dag. Som bekendt er Dust 514 det første MMO, der kædes direkte sammen med en anden populær MMO-titel, EVE Online, og ideen består i, at Dust 514-spillere render omkring som fodtusser og affyrer alle de blærede, håndholdte våben, mens EVE Online-republikken flyver omkring i det ydre rum. Spillere i de to spil kan samarbejde om at udkæmpe kritiske slag, der i sidste ende kan bestemme magtbalancen i et helt planetsystem. Lyder det som noget for dig, kan du passende besøge Playstation Store, søge efter “Dust” og betale de nul kroner, som ting koster, når de er gratis. Og så er du ellers blot en 2.6 GB download og senere installation fra at være i gang. Du finder pressemeddelelsen under nyheden.

CCP Games’ DUST 514 Enters Open Beta

Planetary dominance and thrilling shooter action await all who enter the war

CCP Games is proud to announce that DUST 514 is officially in open beta, free to download and play for anyone with a PlayStation®3. Having recently connected DUST 514 with EVE Online, CCP has forged an unprecedented persistent single-shard universe of incredible depth and scale. Now EVE Online’s expansive New Eden Universe connects two different games across PC and console platforms in real time. This is the first time two games from different genres and different platforms, a PC space combat simulator and a console first-person shooter, have been linked together into one massive online gaming experience.

Now that DUST 514 has entered open beta, mercenaries will begin to shape their careers in earnest as there are no further character resets planned and every shot, every battle and every contract counts. Going forward, all skill upgrades, weapon choices, dropsuit selections and vehicle fittings will shape the fighting strategies and the battles of all mercenaries in DUST 514.

The DUST 514 Open Beta is the next step towards CCP’s long-term vision for the EVE Universe. In the upcoming weeks, and for years to come, CCP will continually improve upon the overall DUST 514 experience, adding features, content, as well as deeper integration between the two games.

DUST 514 brings intense infantry combat, large-scale warfare and deep character advancement to the PlayStation 3 in an exclusive free-to-play massively multiplayer shooter. Set in, and integrated with, the massive universe of EVE Online, players wage war in this next generation of first-person shooter, where a single victory could prove the crushing blow to a galactic empire and thousands of online gamers.

DUST 514 is in open beta now and is available exclusively on PlayStation 3. For more information, visit www.dust514.com and follow the game on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/DUST514) and Twitter (@dust514).

  1. ARGH, jeg vil alle dage hade Sony for deres ikke særligt gennemtænkte download tjeneste… Den henter jo kun, når man er i hovedmenuen.

    Ser du film fra Blu-Ray, så henter den ikke en skid. Håbløst…
