If you didn’t get a chance to jump into the closed beta last month of Echo Combat, the upcoming online shooter expansion to Ready at Dawn’s Echo Arena (2017), then you’ll certainly have a chance this weekend, as the studio is opening up their pod bay doors to all Rift users starting tomorrow.
Echo Combat throws you into a beefier combat-ready avatar with a few guns and secondary weapons at your disposal. Offering a payload-based objective, much like the gametype in Team Fortress 2 (2007) or Overwatch (2016), you push the the cart on a track through the winding maze as an attacker, or defend the advances of the cart by pushing it backwards and running down the three-minute game clock. Check out our full hands-on from the closed beta for a better idea of what to expect.
While the game is bound to be slightly different this time around thanks to new secondary weapons such as a shield and another explosive devices, we expect much of the gameplay to be the same, albeit with many more players to test the limits of Ready at Dawn’s servers.
Echo Combat will be hosting a three-hour community event to kick off the open beta weekend, which starts Thursday, June 21st at 10:30am PT (local time) through Sunday, June 24th at 10:00am PT (local time).
Check out Echo Combat on the Oculus Store here. The full release is slated to cost $10, so now is a great time to find out if the zero-G shooter is right for you.
