Square Enix and Psyonix are announcing the Open Beta launch of Nosgoth on Steam and is celebrating its launch by rewarding those who play the game double XP throughout its Open Beta period.

“We are incredibly passionate about the Nosgoth community and we wanted to highlight this in our Open Beta Launch trailer which was made in conjunction with actual players” said Corey Davis, Game Director. “The community is at the core of the game and it is humbling to have such a vibrant and supportive fan-base and put these players’ front and centre of our campaign.”

A new trailer has also been released that shows the competitive team-based multiplayer game in action. The trailer highlights some of the most engaged users as they take on the roles of both Vampire and Human as they brutally tear their opponents to shreds.

The launch of the Open Beta is just the beginning as Nosgoth will continue to receive new content starting with the Summoner, which is a new Vampire class that has the ability to call on the powers of the Underworld in order to summon ravenous ghouls. The Summoner will be followed by some additional new updates such as the next Human Class,a new Vampire city map, a new game mode, character skins, league rankings, observer tools, and more.
