Stoke Games has released a new gameplay overview trailer for Tyr, its upcoming free-to-play multiplayer tank shooter. The trailer highlights the game’s emphasis on tactical decision-making over fast reflexes, showcasing how positioning, armour angling, vehicle roles, and special abilities shape each match.
Tyr features eight-versus-eight multiplayer battles where players pilot a variety of specialized armoured vehicles. Rather than focusing on twitch shooting, combat centres on reading the battlefield, managing sightlines, and understanding how different tank classes support one another. The trailer demonstrates how smart positioning and armour usage can determine the outcome of engagements, rewarding patience and coordination.

Each tank in Tyr fills a distinct role on the battlefield. Mobile light tanks focus on scouting and enemy spotting, while long-range damage dealers excel at sniping but remain vulnerable if caught out of position. Heavily armoured tanks are designed for close-range pressure and frontline control, with additional vehicle types offering alternative tactical options. Players can upgrade and evolve their tanks over time, tailoring them to individual playstyles while contributing to broader team strategies.
The newly released footage also offers a glimpse at special abilities, adding another layer of tactical depth. These abilities can shift momentum during fights, opening opportunities for flanks, retreats, or coordinated pushes when used effectively.
Alongside the trailer, Stoke Games confirmed that Tyr has recently expanded its private playtest community. The studio is inviting additional players to participate and provide feedback as development continues. Interested players can apply to join the private playtest through the official First Look program.
Reflecting on the role of community feedback, Stoke Games co-founder and product director Veigar Bouius emphasized how closely the development process has been tied to player input, describing the growing playtest group as both highly competitive and creatively engaged.
Tyr is currently in development as a free-to-play title, with ongoing private playtests shaping its direction ahead of a wider release.
