Incorporating frantic third-person action into a persistent online multiplayer world, APB will offer a whole new perspective on MMO gaming: this is 'Mass Mayhem Online'. Those fortunate enough to gain access to the closed beta will be able to experience the near limitless customisation and brutal urban combat APB has to offer.

"We're looking forward to welcoming thousands of new players to San Paro in the coming weeks." said Dave Jones, Creative Director at Realtime Worlds, "As APB enters this final stage of closed beta testing, we're anticipating a huge surge of interest with gamers from all over the world applying to take part and provide invaluable feedback to the development team preparing us for launch."

APB is set to launch simultaneously in North America and Europe later this year. For more information about APB and to sign up to the beta, log on to www.apb.com.
