The new sci-fi MMORPG, Bounty Hounds Online, from Wicked Interactive is getting ready to launch its closed beta testing phase in North America tomorrow. Beta keys will be available exclusively through Alienware Arena starting tomorrow, but we don’t have any links to the page yet. You can just check the official BHO site, I’m sure they’ll add the link in the next few hours.
Bounty Hounds Online is free-to-play and is based on the popular PSP title of the same name.
“We are thrilled to have Alienware Arena participate in the launch,” said Sam Ho, Director, Wicked Interactive. “Their gamers are among the Web’s most influential and discerning. We know that they will not only go crazy for Bounty Hound Online’s sci-fi theme, they will also appreciate the four years of development that went into creating what will stand alongside such classic Namco Bandai titles as Pac-Man, Tekken, Ace Combat, Armored Core and Katamari.“
Players can choose from one of five classes, Trooper, Agent, Bioengineer, Artillery and Scientist and are partnered up with a robot pet which can transform into a combat mech if the situation calls for it. BHO has multiple factions in the form of Mercenary Companies which allows for PvP between the different mercenary groups.
Below we have a recently released gameplay video for Bounty Hounds for your enjoyment.
