We've already briefly covered the fact that we're keeping a very close eye on Battlerite (we all love Bloodline Champions) so we're pleased to announce that Stunlock Studios were kind enough to provide us with 5,000 Beta keys in preparation for the forthcoming test. For the official blurb, take a look below.

Battlerite is an action-packed PvP brawler and the spiritual successor to Bloodline Champions. Experience the explosive combination of a top-down shooter with a fast paced fighting game, played in quick 2v2 and 3v3 matches. Dodge bullets and pull off deadly combos with the use of good old WASD movement & cursor based aiming. Battlerite is about skill-shots, team-play and fast reactions. Battlerite will be available on Steam - Early Access, September 20th, 2016.
