Yo dawg, we heard you like Star Citizen patches, so we applied a patch to another patch so your Star Citizen patch has another Star Citizen patch. And that’s all you need to know about patch 3.7.1! Also it fixes interdiction issues, that was its reason for being, but why focus on that when you can resurrect ancient memes and then look at the CitizenCon schedule?
I’m hearing some complaining in my earpiece, so let’s just move on to other beta news.
- If you’re tired of being a weak little bag of skin and meat supported by bones, you can look forward to Starbase giving you a robotic endoskeleton to customize. It looks pretty sweet.
- So how’s Hellion doing? Well, it has launched… but it isn’t finished and is never going to be finished. So, er, not good.
- Bless Unleashed continues to have massive revamps ahead of its open beta, this time for its crafting system. Big revamps before launch are always a good sign, right?
- The mobile EVE Echoes is heading into beta in December, for all those who need to keep up backstabbing on the go.
- Last but not least, City of Titans has released its character creator! Now everyone (who backed the game) can create a character (in the test version)!
So we also heard you like lists, based on reading that list up there. So we put a list after that list so you can read a list after your list. If you notice something in that list of testing games that needs to be amended or altered, well, drop us a line or a comment to let us know!
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! Check out Massively Overpowered’s Betawatch every week for a run-down of MMOs that are still on the road to launch, even if they appear to have set up a permanent residence in a shed called early access.
