The Citadel closed beta will open another wave in November 2026, following the first wave’s September 30 launch, independent studio Yee-Haw Monster Trucks said. The gunship game runs in a desktop web browser without a download or installation.

Key Takeaways

  • The studio says the first wave drew 402 pilots in its first 120 hours.
  • Faction-war and player-market features remain in development.

Citadel closed beta expands

Yee-Haw Monster Trucks said the next wave follows strong demand for the initial closed beta. Players can join the game’s official Discord to secure a spot, though the announcement did not specify an opening date within November.

The studio is using the closed beta to test and refine Citadel’s core systems. During the first 120 hours, from September 30 to October 5, players launched 6,875 distinct breach runs, excluding reconnects. More than 600 ships were lost, while 90% of recorded breach endings resulted in successful extraction.

How the browser game works

Citadel is a multiplayer sandbox game in which players customize gunships and enter timed zones called Breaches. There, they can fight other players and computer-controlled enemies, mine and recover resources. Players who extract keep their haul, while destroyed ships leave wreckage that others can claim.

Between runs, players return to a shared hangar to manage supplies, manufacture equipment and refit ships. The game retains ships, inventory and progression between sessions.
