Frictional Games have announced that their upcoming sci-fi horror game, SOMA, has hit beta testing this week. The minds behind the absolutely terrifying Amnesia and Penumbra series have put the new game into the hands of 40 beta testers, to iron out any last bugs and dole out some last minute polish. But apart from that, the game is “pretty much” feature complete.
“After much blood, sweat and tears we can now inform you all that SOMA is finally in the Beta stage!” said Frictional Games. “This is a huge thing for us and easily the biggest milestone prior to the actual release of the game.”
SOMA has been a tricky game to create according to Frictional Games, but now the end is in sight after at least five years of development. How close the end, and the release of SOMA depends on the closed beta results however.
