Xaviant today announced that the Closed Alpha for their heart-pounding battle royale game The Culling will begin on Friday, February 26 at 4:00 p.m. Eastern and run until Monday, February 29 at 12:00 p.m. Eastern.

In The Culling, 16 contestants enter but only one makes it out alive. In tense 20 minute matches, players craft and scavenge weapons, build traps, and mercilessly hunt each other down. Completely focused on the battle royale experience, The Culling is an adrenaline-filled fight for survival that requires ingenuity, skill, and more than a little brutality.

.

While The Culling won’t release on Steam Early Access until March 8, players have a chance to try out the game ahead of time by signing up for the Closed Alpha. Participants will receive their keys starting February 26.
