Studio NEXT Studios has unveiled a fresh gameplay trailer for the anticipated shooter SYNCED, showcasing a blend of PvP and PvE mechanics that players can expect. The project has already been described in media as a spiritual successor to The Division, but with a zombie-infused twist that intensifies the action.
The latest trailer walks viewers through intense gunfights against a variety of foes, highlights a matchmaking interface for in-game sessions, and teases a toolkit of abilities designed to tilt engagements in combat. The developers also revealed that the game will enter an open beta period soon, inviting players to join the testing phase. Participants can sign up on the official site and will receive in-game rewards such as credits and gear as thanks for helping refine the experience. After launch, beta participants will also have access to a special Recruits Gift Set as a welcome bonus.
The world of SYNCED unfolds after a collapse that fused human ingenuity with rapid tech advancement. Humanity faced an onslaught from the Nanos, a threat that sits somewhere between sentient machines and the undead. In response, agile runners equipped with formidable weapons are mobilized to confront the invading force and restore some sense of order. Players can band together in squads to tackle challenges, while the PvP mode enables confrontations with other players seeking control of key objectives and resources.
While the full release date remains unconfirmed, the game is expected to follow a free-to-play model, with monetization aligned to post-launch content and cosmetics. The campaign emphasizes cooperative play alongside competitive skirmishes, delivering a hybrid experience that rewards teamwork and sharp individual skill.
