The train for Torchlight Frontiers rolls on, and not just because it literally has a class about summoning a train. The latest patch for the game has done a lot about leveling, kicking it up to be faster while also affording players more options. Everyone should get on the train. (Does the Railmaster summon a train for people to get on? More testing is needed.)
Anyhow, let’s get on the Further Beta News Train, choo-to-the-choo:
- World of Warcraft: Classic has been so good at getting people to test the game that it is now doing a make-up exam on its last stress test. Also, despite what you might think, its damage is not too darn low.
- Closed beta for the upcoming Astellia is kicking off in June, with the game working hard to take gender-locking out of the game altogether. A commendable notion! It won’t all be gone at launch, sadly, but the plan is there.
- The soft launch for Conqueror’s Blade approaches on swift wings, as that’s planned for June 4th. It’s technically an open beta, but… well, you know how soft launches go now.
- Last but not least, do you want some questions answered about Saga of Lucimia? Do you want those questions answered for two hours? If not, well… too bad, this is what you get. It’s a lot of answers.
Thus do we pull into the station, steam hissing from our engine as we stop at our destination of our full list of games in testing. If there’s something missing or in need of updates, let us know, and please prepare to transfer to additional trains if necessary. Or something. Look, we don’t have a train system in the state where I live, I don’t know how these things work for people.
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.

Yes, MMO gamers, you too can perform the unpaid quality-control work otherwise known as game testing while eating burritos! Check out Massively Overpowered’s Burritowatch every week for a run-down of MMOs that are still on the road to burritos.
