Lock, load, and get your jetpacks ready because Tribes 3: Rivals is making its way to Steam Early Access next week. The latest game in the popular sci-fi first-person shooter series promises the same high-flying, fast-paced action as its predecessors with fresh gameplay elements thrown in to keep things fresh while also honoring the legacy of the 25-year-old franchise.

The launch build will feature the traditional capture-the-flag matches which will be available in both a 7v7 competitive format and a more casual albeit more chaotic 16v16 mode. Players will also be able to test their skills in Time Trial mode and fine tune their skills in the shooting range.

“Players ski, jetpack, battle, and race to capture the enemy team’s flag, all while ferociously defending their own. Players can choose from unique classes to customize their abilities, perks, and weapon loadouts, while moving across epic terrains from snow covered peaks to haunting deserts. Teamwork, tactics, high speed, and intense combat reign supreme in this rebirth of the world’s fastest shooter.”

The game is set to launch on March 12 and will be available at 10% off for a limited time after launch, bringing its box price down from $19.99 to $17.99. In the meantime, you can wishlist the game on Steam to get notified when it goes live.
