While Kill Strain was recently brought up as a new trademark from Playstation, but the game has finally been “officially” announced.

The game is a top down shooter that pans out in a 5 vs 2 vs 5 multi-player structure. Here are some of the game’s core features:

• Play across a frozen tundra where an experimental energy source has been unearthed and an outbreak threatens to spread around the globe. What is waiting in the Strain?
• Take on the role of a human mercenary tasked with containing the outbreak, a mutated abomination hell-bent on infecting those who have come to silence them, or perhaps… both?
• When the battle changes and your teammates are no longer on your side, will you perservere?
• When plans turn to frantic last-ditch efforts and you find yourself increasingly isolated, will you adapt?

You can sign up for the beta over on the game’s official website.
