Gaijin Entertainment Reveals “First-Ever Space Extraction-Action Game” Star Wrath

I didn’t have “space extraction-action game” from Gaijin on my bingo card for today, but that’s what we’re getting. The company announced its new free-to-play multiplayer game, Star Wrath, today, and then went a step further. Not only did they kick off closed beta testing signups, but the CBT is already live.

As you’d expect from the description, Star Wrath is an extraction game set in space – or more specifically, the edge of a destroyed solar system. Players roam the region in spaceships, fighting each other for resources and DNA samples from pilots. The DNA is used to acquire the abilities of fallen pilots and modify the player’s character. The character isn’t the only thing modifiable; players can also build their own ships using modules. These modifications can be done free-style, or players can use preset blueprints.

Of course, the idea is to collect as much as you can, eliminate all the enemies you can, and be the one to make it out alive. The email the press release came in describes the game as being “Escape from Tarkov meets Elite Dangerous” only with explosive space battles, DNA shenanigans, and the like.

As mentioned above, the game is already in closed beta. Players can sign up for the test using a Gaijin.Net account. Invitations will go out in waves. Founder’s Packs are available, and yes, they do include guaranteed access. More information on the new game can be found on the official site or the Steam page.
