Extraction shooters HUNGER on Steam (Good Fun Corporation)

HUNGER Delays Its Open Beta and Runs a Bigger Closed Beta From October 19 to 26

Good Fun Corporation, the Hell Let Loose team behind Napoleonic PvPvE extraction game HUNGER, announced its first Closed Beta on October 5. It runs from October 19 at 10am BST to October 26 at 9am GMT, with the end date still to be confirmed. The studio had planned to go straight to an Open Beta, but says access requests far outran expectations, so this test works as a larger Tech Test 4 to stress servers across regions. Open Beta dates come after it ends.

  1. Smart caution or lost hype: should HUNGER have gone open beta anyway?
  2. Is 'too many players want in' a real server problem or a hype tactic?
  3. Would a musket-and-melee extraction game hold your squad longer than a modern shooter?
  4. Same week as Steam Next Fest: does HUNGER get buried or win the week?
