Netmarble has launched the 2nd Private Test for HypeSquad. Starting today through September 26, players can be among the first to experience the company’s Battle Royale TPS for PC.

Players can register for the 2nd Private Test at on the game's Steam Store and the official HypeSquad website.

A participation code (Steam Product Code) will be given once the instructions have been followed and completed. Players can download/install the “HypeSquad Demo” by reading the Steam product activation guide. Registrations will be accepted until the last day of testing on September 26 at 7 PM PDT.

As a result from the first private test, several updates and changes have been made to improve the gameplay experience, and key game updates include:

•  New Strategies and Combat Styles:  With the goal of making a real-time PVP action game that anyone can enjoy, the 2nd private test makes it easier to learn the basic game mechanics to improve combat responsiveness and situational awareness during battle.
• Basic Attack Improvements: The average attack damage of all weapons has been increased, which will shrink the gap between experienced and new players.
•  Weapon and Ability Selection: Players will now be able to select one regular weapon and 2 different abilities before a match starts. This will give players more choice in their initial strategy and increase defenses before the battle begins. Also, players can now equip two abilities which will create interesting dynamics before the start of the first round.
•  Speed: Animation and movement speed for basic attacks have been adjusted. Sprinting speed has slightly decreased but allows players to enter sprinting mode at a faster rate.

Key Features:

• [A Huge Cast Of Characters]: Select from a distinct group of heroes, each with different backgrounds and motivations! Righteous captain of an assault squad? Tenacious scout? The choice is yours.
• [A Full Arsenal]: Find unique melee and ranged weapons, then equip two for battle. Freely switch between your two weapons in combat and lead your squad to victory. Master your favorite weapon combinations and use them to turn the tide of battle.
• [60-player Matchmaking]: Join a 3-Player squad in a 20-Squad battle. Strategize with your squad, revive fallen squadmates, and be the last squad standing.
• [Numerous Items and Upgrades]: HypeSquad features various items and upgrades. Use the perfect battle support item at the right time to neutralize the enemy, take a base, then upgrade your augmenters with the resulting resources to be one step closer to victory.
• [Strategic Gameplay Using In-game Objects]: HypeSquad features many objects to interact with. Go fast using a zipline to take a strategic position, or use jump pads to shake off an enemy during a risky fight. These features are more crucial to your victory than you can imagine.

HypeSquad is in development for PC (Steam).
