Project Ethos is a roguelike hero shooter where you shape your playstyle every match through Evolutions, powerful, semi-randomized, upgrades unique to each hero. Evolve a sniper into a close-range skirmisher, or a support role into a powerful lone wolf. Build your hero in real-time to suit your personal playstyle.

Discover new levels of mastery across every run as you take on the competition with new abilities, stakes, and challenges that change every match. With the clock ticking, do you safely extract with your hard-earned cores, or go big, risk it all, and see if you and your team can earn top ranking. The choice is yours.

Trials is Project Ethos' signature extraction mode, an ongoing, persistent fight to collect cores, extract, and unlock powerful Augments which fuel your future Trials runs. 

To bring players along on the development journey like never before, a special community playtest is kicking off now! 

How to access the community Playtest?

The best way to learn about Project Ethos is to play it.

2K and 31st Union are bringing players in from the start so they can play the game themselves and be a part of the development process. 

In the current community playtest, players will be able to play two modes:

• Our signature mode, Trials, is an ongoing, persistent fight to collect cores, extract, and unlock powerful Augments which fuel your future Trials runs. 
• Gauntlet is the competitive head-to-head tournament mode for Project ETHOS. Play against other teams in your bracket, upgrade your hero after each match and fight to be the last one standing.

Eligible players in select territories across North America and Europe can access the community playtest by heading over to Twitch and completing a Twitch Drop by watching 30 minutes of one of our partner Creators and their streams.

The community playtest is available from Oct. 17-20 in the United States, Canada, Mexico, United Kingdom, Ireland, France, Germany, Spain and Italy. Servers will be on at the following times:
