Following our preview of the Xbox 360 version of SouthPeak Interactive and TimeGate’s forthcoming online-centric First-Person Shooter (FPS), Section 8, Electronic Theatre can bring you a handful of exclusive details about the retail release. Currently scheduled for early September, a beta testing phase for the PC version is currently underway in the US, and the recently announced European beta is due to launch on August 10^th, but this won’t be the only way to sample Section 8 before it’s release.

            SouthPeak Interactive have confirmed with Electronic Theatre that a demo version of Section 8 will arrive on the Xbox LIVE Marketplace shortly after the European beta begins, currently suggested to be trailing by about two weeks. What will be included in the demo version has not yet been announced, though Electronic Theatre would wonder about the validity of such an offering if it didn’t include a sample of the online multi-player gameplay.

            Further to this, a number of Achievements set to be included in the final build were revealed to Electronic Theatre. As well as Achievements for progressing through the single-player and ascertaining certain types and numbers of kills, a number of Achievements ask you to complete the single-player objectives within a time limit. Of course, however, there will be an Achievement included for managing to land on another player whilst respawning into battle.

            Anticipation for Section 8 is growing rapidly as release approaches, and with less than a month left to go there’s little wonder as to why. We’ll be brining you a preview of the PC version of Section 8 very soon, and in the mean time remember to stay right here at Electronic Theatre for all the latest details from SouthPeak Interactive.
