Insurgency: Sandstorm's beta starts next week

Focus Home Interactive has announced that the second beta for New World Interactive's shooter Insurgency: Sandstorm will kick off next week, on August 30 to be precise, which is when players who pre-ordered the game on Steam will get access to the beta, until September 18.

"Thanks to all the positive feedback the game received during the first Pre-order Beta last month, the studio has polished and optimised the game to meet players' expectations," the publisher writes.

Before you get shooting though you can keep yourself satisfied with the new Gamescom trailer below, and if you need reminding, the game releases on September 18 for PC and next year for PS4 and Xbox One. You can even check out our recent preview to see what we think of the game.
