Level Infinite and NExT Studios have announced that the upcoming free-to-play third-person shooter, SYNCED, will have its open beta from December 10 to January 15, 2023.

The open beta will include SYNCED’s Player versus Enemy (PvE) and co-op gameplay, giving players a taste of what the game can offer. The beta will be available for PC players to download for free via Steam or client download from the official website.

SYNCED delivers a totally new take on the third-person looter-shooter gameplay by giving players the ability to synchronize with deadly Nanos, effectively turning foes into allies. With different Nano classes to sync with – Crusher, Seer, Guardian, and Suppressor – combined with the individual loadout and unique skill each Runner brings, this allows for a broad variety of combinations and tactical approaches.

Like classic looter shooters, Runners can loot resources in PvE and PvP matches to build up their character while unlocking powerful weapons and mods. Consequently, each match plays out as a unique run – leaning into the “rogue-lite” influence and distinguishing SYNCED from its peers.

Here’s an overview of the game:

SYNCED is a rogue-looter shooter set in the near future of our world, where nanotechnology has become the backbone of civilization. In the wake of a cataclysm known as the Collapse, the nanomachines have turned against their creators, consuming humans to propagate themselves and transforming into the deadly beings – the Nanos.

In this apocalypse, players take on the role of a Runner, brave fortune-seekers who scour the Meridian for the valuable nano-energy substance known as Nerva. Players will team up in squads of three and take part in intense PvE and PvP battles for survival.

Here’s the start time for all regions, including Manila:
