Following details about the game are given by the developers FAQ at the moment
What is The Cycle about?
The Cycle is a match-based FPS where you compete to fulfill contracts (quests) during a match that lasts approximately 20 mins. Staying on the planet for longer than that is bad for your health.
When does the Closed Alpha start?
In the next few weeks. We currently feature complete for Alpha and busy wrapping up final testing.
How many players during a match?
20 players and lots more alien monsters, plus some cute Fortuna III native wildlife.
What platforms will it be released on?
Initially only on PC, but we plan to bring it to consoles at a later date.
Will it be on Steam?
It certainly will be. The Alpha Test build is already on Steam and the game page will be live soon.
How long have you been working on it?
We started prototyping last year, but development started fully at the beginning of this year.
We’re aching to get our hands on the game, and it definitely sounds like a very interesting concept. We’re unsure at the moment when the game will be heading to Steam exactly, but the developers have promised that it will be up soon.
