It’d be nice to say that nothing in beta can stay there, but that would be a lie. There are lots of games that stay in beta basically forever. But Anthem is not one of them, as today marks its proper launch date and means that everyone gets to do the fly-and-shoot-in-a-robot-suit dance. First impressions will be shared later, as you do.
Other beta news? Not quite as noteworthy as a major launch, perhaps, but there’s news!
- Where Prosperous Universe operates, it doesn’t need roads. It does, however, have a roadmap, and that roadmap is being adjusted. In this case “roadmap” might be best understood to be a metaphor.
- OrbusVR has launched into its fourth beta weekend!
- Meanwhile, Gloria Victis does not have a preponderance or roads but can certainly use them. That having been said, it does have newly movable catapults and a streamlined crafting system.
- Have things been streamlined in Aftercharge? You can find that out for yourself as the game hosts a free weekend for everyone. You know, if you need a different mechanical shooty option for the next few days.
- Those of you who prefer shooty options with less robots or robot suits will be happy to learn that The Division 2 has plenty of things for you to do in its endgame (read: things to shoot and places to shoot them). That’s coming out in just a week, too.
- And last but not least, we don’t know when Bless Unleashed is releasing at this point, but it’s still planned for this year. Please look forward to – wait, wrong game.
Now, let’s all gather around the fire and enjoy a hearty meal of betas in list format. If anything on there should not be on the list, let us know down 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; we also do not list expansions, with occasional exceptions.
