Bandai Namco has just announced that they will be opening a closed beta test for the Gme Studio-developed SYNDUALITY: Echo of Ada. This closed beta test will be available on North America, Europe and Japan, and will be held from March 28th to April 1st, on the PlayStation 5.
The closed beta test will allow players to access the Sortie, Item Shop and Crafting systems, as well as customize their Base and magus, albeit in a limited capacity. To sign up for the test, players must access the closed beta website on their respective region (North America / Europe / Japan).
SYNDUALITY: Echo of Ada is an extraction shooter, set in a dystopian futuristic world where humans and AI must cooperate to survive, will have limited slots available for players to be among the first to venture into the ruins of Amasia to fight both environmental threats and human enemies, reap rewards, and escape with all the AO Crystals they can carry.
The story takes place in 2222, years after a mysterious poisonous rain called “The Tears of the New Moon” wiped out most of humanity and birthed deformed creatures that now hunt the remaining population. In this player-versus-player-versus-environment extraction shooter, players will step in the shoes of Drifters, daring mech pilots who make a living collecting AO crystals, a rare resource. They pilot mechs—CRADLECOFFINS—with a Magus, an AI partner, who helps them in battle with unique combat abilities. A player’s Magus also provides directions, hints, and warnings to the player to help them safely navigate the ruins in order to survive… and keep the loot they collect.
