The closed beta for Unknown Worlds Entertainment's mod-turned-game Natural Selection 2 will be kicking off tomorrow with access being granted to the first 10,000 pre-order customers, reports Joystiq. Those that have already pre-ordered are already included.

Natural Selection 2 can be pre-ordered for $34.95. The beta will be handled through Steam and will be patched throughout the remainder of development until finally transforming into the final version of the game. Previously, a playable alpha had been released for those that pre-ordered the game's special edition back in July.

If that wasn't enough, Joystiq has a new, exclusive trailer of the Fade class embedded below.

Looks very promising, but I'm not sure I'm willing to plunk down $35 on this yet... Anyone here played enough of Natural Selection to sell it to me?

This game has years to go before it's playable. Right now, in the current version, it's very difficult to actually connect to a server, and when you do, it's very laggy. It's nowhere as good as Natural Selection 1's first beta.

Looks pretty good. Still cautiously optimistic. I'll need some demo in MP to be convinced.

Last time I popped in the alpha (a month ago) it looked like it still had a long long way to go before beta. Hopefully they've made significant progress on it!

Very cool in-game look here.

I fear people have super high expectations for this game that it can't possibly meet. But best of luck to Unknown Worlds. It certainly has been a labor of love.
