Dreadnought Adds Havoc Mode To PlayStation 4 Closed Beta

Grey Box, Six Foot and independent developer YAGER have released the all-new Havoc mode for the console-exclusive closed beta of Dreadnought, the class-based spaceship action game, on the PlayStation 4 computer entertainment system.

Available only on the PlayStation 4, Havoc is a cooperative mode in which three players attempt to survive as long as possible against progressively tougher waves of enemies from the Scavs, a new AI faction with their own unique ships. Rather than bringing their own premade fleet loadouts into battle, players will select ships at the beginning of each match and upgrade them over time. Havoc is playable on two new maps: Xanthe and Hekate.

As a journalist John has covered everything from rural town meetings to the U.S. Congress and even done time as a crime reporter and photographer.|His first venture into writing about the game industry came in the form of a computer column called "On the Chip Side," which grew to have over 1 million circulation and was published in newspapers in several states. From there he did several "ask the computer guy" columns in magazines such as Up Front! in New Mexico and Who Cares? in Washington D.C. When the Internet started to become popular, he began writing guided Web tours for the newly launched Washington Post online section as well as reviews for the weekend section of the paper, something he still does from time to time. His experience in trade publications came as a writer and reviewer for Government Computer News. As the editor of GiN, he demands strict editorial standards from all the writers and reviewers. Breeden feels the industry needs a weekly, reliable trade publication covering the games industry and works tirelessly to accomplish that goal.
