The game, a Rift exclusive, is slated to launch on November 15th. While Echo Arena is free,the disc game launched last year with Lone Echo (2017), Echo Combat will be priced at $10 at launch.

The team-based zero-G shooter now includes a new map dubbed ‘Combustion’ and a new ‘Capture Point’ mode. Both Echo Combat’s new map and mode are free to try during the open beta, which takes place between September 26th – 29th. You can download the game and start playing now.
