Tribes: Ascend will be playable for the first time at QuakeCon next week, and Hi-Rez Studios has teased fans by releasing a new screenshot (seen above) that was taken from their recent playtest.

Although the game is still in closed alpha, QuakeCon attendees will get the first public hands-on with Tribes: Ascend at Booth 333 from August 4-7. Attendees can also register to win a limited number of keys to the Tribes: Ascend closed beta.

If you missed the first gameplay teaser trailer for Tribes: Ascend, you can watch it below. The free-to-play multiplayer shooter will pave the way for Hi-Rez's Tribes Universe, a persistent world MMOFPS that can handle large-scale combat.
