Nolan Bushnell's new FPS/RTS title is to get an official public beta test, the title Battleswarm: Field of Honor being crafted by Reality Gap.

This unusual hybrid title will see players choosing sides in vast battles, taking charge of elite soldiers from a first-person perspective, or directing hordes of invading aliens from a real-time point of view.

Bushnell's opus is presently entering beta and you can sign up online should you wish to see this brainchild of the Atari-founding veteran in action.

While the title has only emerged in recent weeks, we're told to expect a launch in the next month or two. More on Battleswarm soon, then.
