Welcome to the first monthly newsletter for all things Tyr. In this feature, we'll round up recent Tyr news, talk about a bit of what's to come, and share the last month's moments from the community and our various social platforms.
If you don't already know, we're building Tyr with the help of a private playtest community. We've been playing the game on a monthly basis with these dedicated playtesters for two years now, and it's grown a lot in that time.
But we need your help. We firmly believe that making Tyr the best it can be requires that we share the game as early and often as possible with a group of players who can get their hands on it as we make updates and changes.
You can join our private playtest community at https://stoke.firstlook.gg. We play the game monthly right now, but we'll expand the window and increase the frequency as our community grows.
We released a 20-second teaser trailer for Tyr earlier this month. Here it is.
In this trailer, we have a quiet moment of stealth sniping on a map we're currently calling Fields. Our Drone tank lies in wait as our Stealth bike — a hover vehicle — makes the mistake of venturing into the open without a plan. The Drone takes its shot, and the trailer ends on impact.
We love the cinematic old western vibe, and we hope the close-up of heat pouring off the back of the Drone tank gave you as much viewing pleasure as it did us.
By the way, we'll have a new, longer reveal trailer very, very soon. 👀
In addition to the teaser trailer and content on our Steam page itself, we've shared some recent moments from our internal playtests with our community. We playtest Tyr every day, and that means there are lots of clip-worthy opportunities.
The bad news? Posting moments where my teammates die like these paints a pretty big target on my back.
That's it for the October Newsletter for Tyr.
Keep your eyes peeled for an update from us early in November. Until this, be sure to join the playtest and Wishlist Tyr here on Steam.
