Exterminauts begins its PC closed beta on November 12 at 6 p.m. PT, giving selected players a chance to try Behaviour Interactive’s third-person co-op PvE shooter. The test runs until November 18 at 6 p.m. PT and adds weapons, tasks, alien enemies, and a new map.
You can register through Steam for a chance to participate. Behaviour, publisher Level Infinite and partner Team Shooter & Creative also released a gameplay trailer ahead of testing.
Clock In for Galactic Pest Control
Exterminauts puts you in the boots of a galactic field technician, taking contracts at hazardous worksites on planet Tian. Crews deploy from an orbiting base, complete objectives and odd jobs, then attempt to extract as alien encounters escalate.
Successful work orders provide resources to improve equipment and upgrade tools. Those upgrades prepare your crew for harder deployments, with teamwork and improvisation forming part of each assignment.
The closed beta expands that routine with additional tasks and another map. Alien infestations complicate the work, turning pest control into a fight to finish the contract and get out alive.
New Power Tools, Overdrive and Alien Pests
The test includes specialized power tools and an Overdrive feature, offering additional ways to fight the creatures swarming your worksite.
Behaviour also promises new alien pests and further surprises across Tian. The announcement keeps those surprises under wraps, but confirms that the beta will give crews more threats to handle alongside their assigned duties.
Access remains limited, so signing up does not guarantee a place in the November 12–18 test.
TwitchCon Appearance Includes a 90-Person LAN Event
Behaviour will also bring Exterminauts to TwitchCon San Diego, November 13–15, at the San Diego Convention Center.
Its booth will offer hands-on sessions for creators, influencers and media attendees. On November 14, the studio plans a LAN event for up to 90 participants, organized into three-player crews competing in livestreamed PvE challenges.
Livestreaming sessions and an exclusive merchandise store are also planned for the event.
The Exterminauts closed beta starts November 12 on PC. Wishlist pages are available on Steam, the Epic Games Store, PlayStation, and Xbox, with more information on the official website.
