Huxley: The Dystopia is a powerful combination of massively multi-player online (MMO) game character development elements and the twitch-based fast-action game play of an Unreal Engine 3-based first person shooter (FPS). Players are thrust into a dynamic world of crisp graphics and realistic environments, where they align themselves with one of two races, Sapiens or Alternatives, in the battle to harness dwindling resources in a war-torn land. Game play is endlessly peppered with attacks from and against the Hybrid, a mysterious third group born of the two races.

In the not-so-distant future, a huge swarm of Nuclearite clouds passing through our solar system shatters the Earth's moon. Lunar fragments mingled with the radioactive Nuclearites and showered Earth with debris, catapulting the World into the greatest cataclysm in history. In this post-apocalyptic world human beings have mutated and divided into Sapiens, Alternatives and Hybrids. The Sapiens and Alternatives both battle for control of the Earth's resources as the Hybrids, a mysterious third race, fight for their very survival. Do you have what it takes to obliterate and dominate the competition? Choose your side, create your character, grab a weapon and get the enemy in your cross-hairs in Huxley!

“In anticipation of Huxley: The Dystopia, the excited rumblings from our community are a loud roar,” said Philip Yun, CEO, NHN USA, Inc. “This unique MMO and FPS hybrid has long captivated the interest of hardcore gamers everywhere, and players want to jump in and see how the fused genres play out. We are anxious to answer those calls for full-length, quality free-to-play titles online. Apologize to your consoles now – with Huxley you’re going to be playing on the PC for quite a while.”

This CBT opens up the full game client to fervent Huxley fans, showcasing a sci-fi world of outlandish characters and frenetic gameplay. Players accepted into the CBT can combat in deadly skirmish battles and adrenaline-rushing missions. Huxley: The Dystopia envelops players in a high-stakes challenge, where opponents are exceptionally savvy and the player versus environment (PvE) threatens gamers’ every move.  Complete cities, rebuilt after barely surviving the near demise of civilization, now emerge in this beta, along with countless numbers of missions, weapons, armor, special items and even crafting.
