While Dreadnought isn't your usual action game, it's a very tactical – and exciting – one, as you control vessels both big and small, utilizing different weapons as you attempt to blast your enemy out of the sky. But if you've been looking to try the game out before you purchase it from Grey Box, here's your chance!

The game has become available in a new open beta, which will be running over the next few days. The beta will offer access to eight different maps (including six bonus night map variations), along with four game types – Team Deathmatch, Team Elimination, Training and co-op supported Havoc) and an in-game friends list. It's also supported for PlayStation 4 Pro for "better graphical fidelity", if you want to take that route.

You can also spend GP to convert Ship XP into Free XP, and purchase the following market content if you want it:

  • The Trident Hero Ship– One of the most famous vessels from the Great Solar War. Check it out!
  • The Knight bundle– Now you can pick up this shining, bravery-inspired emblem and striking, green and yellow coating.
  • GP packs– Purchase GP packs to buy Hero Ships, ship vanity items, captain accessories and more

Here's the description of the game, in case you need the lowdown:

Dreadnought puts players in the captain's chair of massive capital ships and on the front lines of tactical, team-based battles across a variety of competitive, multiplayer game modes. There are more than 50 playable vessels to master, each customizable with an array of weapons, modules, coatings and decals. Five distinct ship classes, specializing in vital roles like frontline assault, long-range bombardment, strategic support and more, offer captains unique powers to exploit the enemy team's weaknesses and claim victory.

On top of that, if you have a PlayStation Plus account, you'll be able to access the Ravenswood Plus Pack free of charge for the game, normally a $20 value. Not bad if you're looking to expand your collection of mighty ships. Check out the trailer above to see more!

The game doesn't have a PlayStation 4 release date just yet, but since it's in open beta, it probably isn't too far off.
