Original Story: Independent developer GarageGames is currently accepting beta applications for its multiplayer shooter Fallen Empire: Legions (PC), with the next round set to begin "in this coming week."

For an advance look at the Tribes spiritual sequel--which runs through the web-based InstantAction platform--send an e-mail to FELopenbeta@garagegames.com from the same address used for your InstantAction account. After sending a blank e-mail, Shacknews received the following response:

Congratulations! By mailing this address you've added yourself to the list of approved Legions beta testers. Full access to FE:L will be granted during the next round of user admission in this coming week.

As pointed out by NeoGAF moderator and all-around good guy Teknopathetic, the e-mail address was hidden within a recent Fallen Empire blog post. GarageGames has yet to specify the number of applicants that will be accepted in the next wave.
