Multiplayer first-person shooter Leap is arriving on Steam Early Access this June 1. The game allows a maximum of 60 players, each one armed to the teeth to fight it out.
Before the official launch, there’s a scheduled Open Beta from May 20 to May 22. During this period, players get the chance to try out the PvE mode known as Special Operations. In this mode, four-player teams go against new enemies. There’s the Specialist, a sneaky opponent armed with a sniper rifle who loves to hide. Beware the SpecOps as well since they are assassins with invisible powers and are equipped with swords to take down opponents.
Those who were able to join the playtest last May 6 automatically qualify for this beta. Players interested to join need to request access to the “Leap Playtest” client. Read more about the Open Beta here.
