firefall-10-18-2011_0

Firefall’s open beta event this weekend marks the last chance to play the game before it launches next month. To celebrate the final test event Red 5 Studios are giving away gaming gear as part of a competition running across the three days.

With Firefall scheduled to launch its open beta on 9 July, Red 5 are spooling up the game for release and that means an end to test events. Running from Friday through to Sunday, this weekend’s event is the final one of its kind.

To mark the occassion players will have the opportunity to win a Razer Blackwidow Tournament Edition keyboard, a Kraken Pro headset, a HIS 7970 iPower IceQ X2 3GB video card, a limited edition Brontodon plushie, and a Commander-level Founder’s Pack. Though to be in with a chance they have to enter a movie trailer style video showing off the game and why people should be excited to play it.

If you’re not already signed up the beta you’ll need to head over here to register and download a copy of the release client.

Also, this weekend marks the end of the sale of founders packs, so if you want to buy a bundle of exclusive in-game kit you’ll want to drop a little money on one of those now before it’s too late.
