A few months back, Team17 and Small Impact Games originally announced their upcoming looter-shooter title Marauders. Set up to be a player-vs-player-vs-enemy (PvPvE) experience, this quickly became a game players set their sights on. After all, who doesn’t want to be a Space Pirate? Well, the wait is closing in as those who pre-order the game will get access to play it next week from July 20th until July 25th!

Following a successful closed alpha test earlier in the year, the closed beta will let players loose with a barrage of new content. This includes two new raid locations: the ‘Terraformer’ – a newly abandoned agricultural hub built on top of an asteroid shard, and the ‘Merchant Ship’ – an expansive, breach-able frigate perfect for intimate and long-range firefights. There will also be two new weapons, the Heavy Thompson and the Klobb Machine Pistol, a hand-held heavy explosive device called a ‘Scrap Bomb,’ numerous quality-of-life improvements, further cosmetic choices and audio effects, and many more surprises.

If you’re interested in participating in the Marauders closed beta, you’ll have to pre-order your digital copy first. Then you can prepare to either squad up or run solo in a deep space, dieselpunk battleground with up to 15 other players. Eventually, the game will release on PC via Steam’s Early Access.
