You could be forgiven for sort of forgetting about The Division. No matter how much it might have interested you at first, the game kind of dropped off the radar for half of forever. But now it’s on track for a winter beta and a launch next year, and we found out a bit about the game from E3, like how you can hunt rogue agents. (We also got our hands on it on the show floor, which might have been to its detriment.)
In other news:
- Asker Online will be starting a closed beta toward the end of the month, so that answers that.
- Lord of Vermilion: Arena launched in its native Japan.
- Inspirit Online will be kicking off a closed beta test on Jun 26th.
- A little bit of Gigantic news, as it starts its closed beta in August.
- The new test of Skyforge will give its founders a chance to use all the Founder’s Pack rewards.
- Last but not least, Revelation Online moved into its open beta.
We also have our usual list of betas past the break. Is something amiss therein? Why, tell us in the comments!
As always, we consider an MMO to be in open testing if it features free, public signups and will server wipe prior to launch. An MMO is marked in closed testing if it’s running a private test phase that cannot freely be accessed by the general public; it’s usually under NDA as well. Early access and crowdfunded MMOs whose tests we deem legitimate will be included. So-called “open beta” soft-launch MMOs with cash shops, no sign of launch in the west, or limited interest for our readers will not be listed.
