Repeated intro

Hello! We’ve been hard at work adding content and refining gameplay after all the great comments and suggestions from our last beta, and have seen a ton of progress and improvements to the game and want to give our fans another look. Our second closed beta weekend will focus on the game’s multiplayer mode, revealing three of the four playable characters and showing off even more of the cursed town of Lorwich. The multiplayer closed beta starts today, Friday, 4/10 at 2 p.m. PST and runs until Monday, 4/13 at 2 p.m. PST. Anyone who has pre-ordered the game can access the closed beta. Please dive in and tell us what you think in the forums and help us report bugs . In this multiplayer closed beta, players can choose between three playable characters including the Hunter, Witch and Engineer, each armed with special abilities and weapons: • The Hunter: A heavy weapon-wielding mercenary equipped with powerful firearms including an Assault Rifle, SMG and Flamethrower attachment. • The Witch: A lightning-manipulating assassin who utilizes a combination of guns and supernatural powers. • The Engineer: A mechanically savvy gadgets and weapons expert who is skilled at taking down opponents with precision. Players can also explore three levels, one from each campaign, including: •Mines of Lorwich: Ghost Town •Beneath the Graves: The Coffinmaker •Factory of Fear: Spectral Railway Other additions and improvements we made available in this beta include: •The Engineer Class is playable for the first time •New Hunter Abilities •The Witch returns with some tweaked abilities •The Advancement System and Trait Tree are now implemented – level your character! •Hit notifications, Spawn AI and Audio have all had significant tweaks. If you have already pre-ordered the game we invite you to jump in and experience the action-horror game in multiplayer closed beta. If you haven’t pre-ordered, we encourage you to do so now here so you can get in on the action before everyone else. Please also post your comments and feedback in the beta bug forum . We hope you enjoy the closed beta and look forward to hearing your feedback! - The AITD Team
