Press release:
May 19th, 2021.
The China-based video games publisher and game developer Kuro Game today announced with great excitement and delight that their smash-hit cyberpunk/sci-fi ARPG “Punishing: Gray Raven” has just kicked-off its closed beta for Android devices (iOS players will soon be able to join in on the closed beta as well).

Sharpen your swords and charge your levi-guns, the battle for Earth begins this month. Developer Kuro Game invites Android players (with iOS players able to join soon) to sign up for the Punishing: Gray Raven closed beta test right now via Facebook & Twitter.

Three thousand aspiring Commandants will get to experience the critically acclaimed cyberpunk action-RPG’s stunning combo-building combat ahead of its full release later this summer.

Sign-ups are now open, running from May 19th until May 25th. Chosen players will be able to download the game and play on May 27th. As well as being the first to play the global version of Punishing: Gray Raven, beta players will be granted a bundle of in-game resources at launch to give them an edge in their endless war against the Corrupted. To assist this first wave of Commandants, beta players will receive:

15,000 Black Cards
10,000 Basic Character Research Tickets
7,500 Targeted Weapon Research Tickets
10 Medium Serum Bundles

The Android version closed beta runs for one week (with dates for an iOS beta to be announced soon). The full version of Punishing: Gray Raven launches this summer, with a final release date coming shortly. No character wipes are planned between beta and launch, so players are encouraged to cut loose, fight their hardest and assemble the best squad they can. There’s a long war ahead.

Features:

Experience a dark cyberpunk story of mankind’s endless war to reclaim a ruined Earth.
Spectacular sci-fi melee action. Dodge, parry & tag between heroes to extend combos.
Gorgeous 3D graphics with razor- sharp dark cyberpunk anime style.
A chart-topping hit in China and Japan finally playable in English.
Epic and challenging boss battles against rogue androids, hulking mechs and beyond.
Collect and unlock a squad of elite cyborgs, assemble teams and develop their skills.
Dive into the future and immerse yourself in the powerful electronic soundtrack.

About Punishing: Gray Raven:

Punishing: Gray Raven is an ultra-stylish free-to-play Action-RPG for Android and iOS. Set in a dark, post-apocalyptic cyberpunk world, the world has been overrun by Corrupted machines and androids, twisted and overtaken by a biomechanical virus known as The Punishing. The last remnants of mankind have escaped to the space station Babylonia, and the Gray Raven special forces unit leads the mission to reclaim their lost homeworld.

The game combines Visual Novel style storytelling, complex RPG squad management elements and intense 3D arcade hack n’ slash combat inspired by classic console character action games like Nier: Automata and Bayonetta.
