Hell Let Loose’s original developers’ Napoleonic-era extraction game, Hunger, gets December early access release, and an open beta this month

Good Fun Corp, formed by the original developers of Hell Let Loose, will release its extraction game Hunger in Steam Early Access on 3 December. An open beta will run from 27 to 29 November, and anyone can request access through Steam. The dates give players a chance to try the game shortly before launch.

Set in a plague-ravaged alternate-history Europe, Hunger combines player-versus-player and environmental combat, with a focus on melee, limited firearms, quests, puzzles and dungeon raids. Its Early Access launch is planned to include three large maps, six playable characters and five Mastery trees containing more than 100 unlocks. The developer says the game has attracted over 700,000 Steam wishlists; it has so far been announced for PC.
