There's a free open beta for 'adaption shooter' Ascendant on Steam this weekend

There are many ways to FPS: the tried-and-true squad battles of Counter-Strike 2, the endless quests for chicken dinners in Fortnite, the old-school deathmatches in Quake. This is a new one to me: the developers of ASCENDANT.COM (yeah, that's what they're calling it) are claiming that it's the world's first "adaption shooter."

So what is an adaption shooter? Well, apparently it's a 3v3v3v3 battle on a map that changes every time you play it, where you compete to extract "biocores" and shoot anything that moves.
