[h3]In this playtest, you will have access to two modes:[/h3][p][/p][p]Storm Dive: A new game mode that emphasizes action and confrontation. Where you alongside a number of other smugglers will drop onto the planet of Sophie aboard your trampler and battle against the clock to explore, loot and extract safely before the world is engulfed by a devastating sandstorm.
