PvEvP shooter The Cycle begins weekly open alpha playtests on Friday

The Cycle is a squad-based PvEvP "competitive quest game" in development at Yager in which players work together and against one another to collect resources from a planet in the dangerous outer reaches of the galaxy and then get away before some form of horrific interstellar death comes a-callin'. It bears a resemblance to battle royale, but there's more to it than that, and in fact we said in our March preview that it's Yager's attempt at predicting, and capitalizing on, whatever Big Gaming Thing comes after battle royale has faded.
If you'd like to see how that effort is coming along, you can sign up to take part in weekly alpha playtests that will get under on April 12. Yager said it's opening the alpha test sessions because some of the feedback it's received from earlier, closed alpha sessions was based on outdated builds of the game. Under this system, the plan is to give players access to a current build on Fridays, collect and assemble feedback over the weekend, and then have a "roundtable" discussion with players on Wednesday.
