Earth is gone, the rich have colonised Mars and the rest of humanity is living their worst life in The Taint, a giant orbiting slum. While humanity is trying to survive, the Mars billionaires are more worried about fulfilling their nostalgic dreams. Plunderships, massive retail spacecrafts dedicated to selling salvaged pop-culture artefacts from Earth, our artefacts, at space-high prices to satisfy their desires.

We, an unlikely pack of talented robbers, hit the Mars elite where it hurts most: their stuff A.K.A. OUR stuff. They call us "Hyenas". We get in, empty some clips into their security clones and other ""preventative measures"", steal all the best stuff then get out. Exploding a clone in zero gravity is kind of messy, but as long as we make it out with the merch it’s worth it.

So, you in?

SEGA and Creative Assembly have released the official gameplay trailer for Hyenas, showcasing its chaotic, zero-G heist action. 

Watch the Hyenas battle their way through the Earth Vintage Plundership as they steal Merch and take out MURFS before culminating in a climactic zero-G showdown. 

Hyenas will be publicly available to play for the first time at Hall 8 in Gamescom, the world’s biggest gaming event, from August 23 to August 27. 

Don’t worry if you can’t make it to Gamescom, as all PC players are invited to join the first ever Closed Beta, which begins August 31 and runs until September 11.

Would-be Yeenas can register to join via Steam Playtest.

This Closed Beta will feature eight specialists including newcomers Mozie – the OG Hyena – and rock-and-roll roadie Digits. They will join ballerina Prima, astronaut Commander Wright, super speedy cosplayer Hero-Ki, Sniper El Silbón, gamer Doc Hotfix and defense connoisseur drag queen Galaxia as they dive into zero-G action across the massive Plundership, Earth Vintage. 

Key Features:

• Give Zero Fs in Zero-G: Why walk when you can fly? Traverse seamlessly into zero-G zones where movement and combat take flight.
