Why it matters
The alpha follows an August pre-alpha and opens a Seoul-set open-world shooter to Japanese players under an NDA, so the first public read on CINDER CITY will come from a capped, silent test rather than a wide release.
Key Facts
- Players in Japan can participate, and applicants must be 18 or older.
- The test build includes a 2.4-square-kilometer area, bosses, the open-world story up to Chapter 3, sub-missions and instanced dungeons.
- An NDA prohibits sharing footage, images, test content and gameplay experience externally.
Players in Japan can apply through the Request Access button on the game's Steam page until November 30. The test covers a 2.4-square-kilometer area, bosses, the open-world story through Chapter 3, sub-missions and instanced dungeons, and carries an NDA.
Applicants must be 18 or older, and access is not guaranteed: successful applicants are notified later. The test build runs a 2.4-square-kilometer slice of the collapsed near-future Seoul setting, with bosses, the open-world story up to Chapter 3, multiple sub-missions and instanced dungeons.
CINDER CITY is a third-person shooter built for solo play, chance co-op with players encountered in the world, and raids in dungeons entered with a party formed in advance. Sharing footage, images, test content or gameplay impressions externally is prohibited under the NDA. Japan-time guidance for the test window will be announced later.
