PlayStation 3-exclusive shooter game Dust 514 will be in closed beta until 2013.
The game has the backing of EVE Online and will be in closed beta this year and early next year, Eurogamer reported.
"Things are going well," said David Reid Executive CCP Games to Eurogamer. "We'll be in closed beta through the end of 2012, but it won't take much longer. With a bet this big you want to get things right."
The game according to Eurogamer was "unsteady" and "a lot of work" is to be done.
"You should expect to see some rough edges, some things not working so well," he said. "Other recent console betas have tended to be working launch demos. We're doing something unprecedented here, and we want to get everything right before we join those two worlds."
Reid has not said how many players took part in the closed beta. The game was downloadable for PlayStation Plus members since early this year.
The focus now is to make the game more accessible to new players as some players have found it hard.
"The big challenge is the first ten minutes," he said.
"We want to make it as accessible as Call of Duty and Battlefield. It's about getting people interested, then getting them down that rabbit hole into the EVE universe. Pretty soon they'll be at [annual convention] Fanfest getting a tattoo."
The game is a first-person shooter. The game is attractive and is a different type of shooter game Reid claimed.
"We know we have a product we can sell to that audience that's ready for something new," Reid concluded. "If you've been playing first-person shooters for years, why wouldn't you want to play a game where the outcomes of your battles actually matter?"
