The closed beta for Exterminauts is kicking off on the PC, and we have a new overview of the gameplay that Exterminauts has
A new closed beta is kicking off here, well, tomorrow as of this update, as Exterminauts is giving PC gamers a chance to test the game out. This is the latest title that Behaviour Interactive and Level Infinite have been working on that will take us to some new alien planets to clean things up and keep things safe for the structures. Okay, there’s more to go for all of that when it comes to Exterminauts, but that’s the quick pitch to spark your memory before we dive into what the game is going to offer and what those in the beta can expect to experience. All before the game launches in 2027 for PC, along with the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S when it’s all ready to go. Let’s dive right into what the game is going to offer up.
To catch all of you up on what is going down in Exterminauts, let’s dig into that before we see it all in motion. This is a new co-op game where we’re placed in the suit of a blue-collar field technician who has been tasked with tackling a dangerous and alien infestation on the various planets that the company has its rigs on. That’s where we’re going in with our friends to ensure the infestation is clear and things are still running. This is what we’ll get to play about in when the closed beta is going on for Exterminauts. Along with seeing many of the tools and gear, various aliens, and surprises that the planet has to offer. More or less, this sounds like it’ll be stress test for players with a bit of gameplay to test out along the way too. Not a terrible thing, but thankfully not just a demo of the game to tease us all with. Here’s a better look at the game just ahead of the beta kicking off on November 12th and running through the 18th.
Exterminauts — Closed Beta Gameplay Overview
Behaviour Interactive and Level Infinite announced that the Exterminauts Closed Beta begins November 12 on PC. Players are invited to step into the boots of blue-collar galactic field technicians, tasked with tackling dangerous alien infestations in chaotic co-op gameplay across hostile off-world worksites. The test introduces a variety of weapons, tasks, alien pests, and other surprises for the upcoming third-person PvE shooter. Players can sign up for a chance to join the crew and take on the challenges awaiting them on Tian. The Closed Beta runs from November 12 at 6:00 PM PT to November 18 at 6:00 PM PT.
The Exterminauts Closed Beta will give you the opportunity to experience what it’s like to be an Exterminaut recruit:
- Specialized Power Tools & Overdrive – Gear up with specialized power tools and unleash their power with the Overdrive feature, giving crews more ways to take on the alien threats lurking across hostile off-world worksites.
- Diverse Tasks To Tackle – Take on new tasks as your crew navigates the hazards and unexpected challenges of life as a blue-collar galactic field technician.
- Colorful & Deadly Worksite To Explore – Head into a new map and discover another hostile environment where alien infestations threaten to turn an ordinary job into a fight for survival.
- A Fresh Batch Of Alien Pests – Take on more alien pests as you and your crew work to clear hostile hordes.
- Surprises From Planet Tian – Keep your eyes peeled for additional surprises hidden throughout your work shift on Tian.
In Exterminauts, players deploy from their orbiting base into hazardous off-world worksites, tackling high-pressure objectives and odd jobs before extracting as alien encounters escalate. Each successful work order provides resources to improve equipment and upgrade tools, preparing crews for increasingly challenging deployments against a diverse range of extraterrestrial threats. With every contract bringing new obstacles, players must adapt, work together, and sharpen their skills to survive the next dirty job.
Have you been looking forward to seeing what Exterminauts has to offer up to us all? Will this be more of a stress test than a playtest when it comes to the beta? How many different alien pests will we be expected to clear out along the way? Will this be closer to what the final build of the game will be, or do you think the test could vastly change how the game is built going forward? Let’s hear it all out in the comment section down the page here. We’ll see where things go for Exterminauts, and try to update you on the site as we get more to share. You can watch for it all here and follow along on all of our socials to see all of the fun updates that are coming. Even with some of the other events that might be popping off here very, very soon.
