If you've been waiting for a chance to try your hand at Hyenas, Creative Assembly's upcoming team-based zero-G extraction shooter, here it is: A closed beta is coming at the end of August, and you can sign up to take part now on Steam.
Hyenas pits five teams of three players each against each other in a quest to pick the bones of the dead Earth for the benefit of the wealthy who have retreated to Mars. Not for the essentials of survival, though, but rather the soothing embrace of nostalgia found in "piles of pop culture tat." Food, water, and shelter are great, but what these ultra-rich folks really want is merch: Sonic the Hedgehog toys, Mega Drive cartridges, and other such reminders of a time when life didn't suck quite so much.
