Gamers all around the world are gearing up for the Fury beta which kicks off in late September, and now they have a bigger reason than ever for joining in.

Auran Games, Gamecock Media Group and Codemasters Online have announced that the open beta, a world first for Player Vs. Player MMOs, will carry a huge US$1,000,000 prize pool for players.

Prizes have come from sponsors such as NVidia, Dell, IGN, GameStop, Harvey Norman, FHM, Logitech and ZBoard, and more are promised as the launch date approaches.

“We believe that FURY will be the start of a PvP revolution, so why not create a revolutionary Open Beta event to show the world that we have arrived”, stated Tony Hilliam, Auran CEO.

“Last week we announced our unique business model of free to play with free content updates and an optional subscription. This week, we’re pleased to announce a landmark in gaming with a total prize pool valued at over one million dollars. In late September, hundreds of thousands of players will compete to kick-start their Fury careers by winning Fury Game Cards, Fury Subscriptions and lots of other cool loot too.”

The full game should be hitting the shelves on October 9 (12 in Europe) and pre-order customers will receive an exclusive armour set, special priority access before and during Fury Challenge plus a free Realm transfer code.
