Co-op shooter Rogue Point has announced its upcoming playtest and promised ‘huge’ things for gamers come the time. Something of an arcadey simulation game, Rogue Point is described as ‘a four-player FPS in which you undertake missions offering quick and clean FPS experience and cooperation,’ and it turns out we don’t have long to get our hands on it.
Set in a world where businessmen can order private mercenaries ‘as easily as ordering takeout’, Rogue Point puts you in the shoes of an ‘elite, independent vigilante squad’, who ‘dares to fight back’. Joining the playtest couldn’t be simpler:
- The playtest will first go live via Twitch drops at 2PM BST, 24th September.
- Playtest signups will happen on Steam at 6PM BST, 25th September.
- Demo will run until 12PM, 29th September.
Straight from Crowbar Collective:
Playtest features:
- You’ll encounter different enemies, maps, and guns that you can purchase with money earned in prior missions.
- Since the last public demo the team have implemented ADS.
- Objectives will include Bomb Diffusal, Merx Hunt, Hostage Rescue, Intel Capture (Laptop Decryption) and Strike Missions.
- Raid Mission: The final campaign mission, where players must fend off multiple waves of enemies before extraction.
- 20+ skills to customise your character with.
- Once you get to the end, everything resets but some perks do remain. You unlock cosmetic rewards per playthrough. Perks, Weapons, Armour are on a per campaign basis only. Crowbar Collective want to ensure players feel rewarded for going through the loop.
- Maps are spread across different locations and prior to choosing a map you and your squad will complete a planning phase and once you agree on a teamplay, you can get into the action.
- Rogue Point really emphasizes collaborative teamwork to successfully defeat the corporate stooges set upon using the MERX app.

Rogue Point will release in 2025 in Early Access on PC, with full details available on Steam.
