Warface Closed Beta now live

Trion Worlds and Crytek have announced that Warface, the upcoming free-to-play shooter for the PC, has now entered its Closed Beta phase.

Warface will be accessed through GFACE, Crytek’s social platform that is designed to enable its users to play games together live and to discover and share content with friends. The Warface beta servers will remain open until the official Warface launch in Spring 2013.

“Trion Worlds and Crytek have been working closely to bring Warface to Western players looking for a first-person shooter with striking graphical detail and unsurpassed gameplay – for free,” said Dirk Metzger, General Manager Publishing at Crytek.

“We look forward to making the experience even more engaging as waves of pre-registered players are invited to join the Closed Beta and play their part in shaping Warface ahead of its final launch. Those who have not yet registered for the Beta can still do so at: www.warface.com."

The game casts players as part of Warface, a select unit of elite warriors that have banded together to fight Blackwood – the ruling brute-force government. Featuring intense first-person shooter co-op and competitive multiplayer gameplay, with regularly added new content, Warface gives players plenty of level-up opportunities and various upgrades, keeping you on your toes and forcing you to switch up your combat strategies in the heat of battle.
