SUDDEN ATTACK ZERO POINT is Nexon's free-to-play remaster of Sudden Attack, the online FPS that dates to 2005. The project is being built for Steam, and Nexon has moved it into the last stage of testing before a full release: a final closed beta scheduled for July 9 to July 13, 2026.
Nexon first set that test in early June, describing it as the final closed beta and framing it around a visual overhaul and new customization systems. The announced content covers 13 primary weapons, more than 200 exclusive parts, 10 characters, and several maps and modes. That content list has held steady since the announcement. The July story, published as the test opened, repeats the same figures and the same July 9 to July 13 window.
The one new detail as the beta opened is how players get in. Applications run through the Steam store page and close on July 11, two days before the test ends. The beta itself stays on Steam.
What the two stories establish is narrow and consistent: a remaster of a 2005 online FPS, a Steam closed beta in July 2026, a fixed content set, and sign-ups through the store page. Nexon has not given a release date, and neither story states one.
