APB Reloaded In Beta Form Next Month
K2 Network is moving swiftly to capitalize on their recent purchase of last year's failed action MMO, APB. The publisher is apparently aiming for a late February launch of a closed beta for APB Reloaded.
This news comes from the official APB Reloaded Twitter account, where it was also revealed that details on applying for the closed beta will be announced later this week. If you're curious about some of the potential changes in store for Reloaded, one of the game's new designers has a blog with several lengthy posts addressing the challenges ahead, including the possibility of implementing more GTA-esque story missions into the game.
Despite my strong distaste for APB when it launched last summer, I'm increasingly interested in seeing how K2 and GamersFirst will be handling the relaunch of the game. Stay tuned for more coverage as Reloaded nears playable form.
