We bid farewell to TitanReach this week, but not for the usual reasons wherein a game moves out of testing; it’s because the game is now gone forever in a purge of all official accounts and the like, complete with an announcement that the game would have pivoted to the NFT grift but won’t now because it has ceased to exist. Wow, who could have seen this coming? (We did. From the beginning.)
Other beta news is less grifty and less shady:
- Galahad 3093 is currently running a beta test that will last through Monday, February 21st, which should be plenty of time for people to enjoy some hero-based mech action.
- Palia is ready to begin alpha testing, but it won’t set a date for it. It’s just shy, maybe! That’s plausible, right?
- Conan Chop Chop is actually a thing that’s happening on March 1st. That’s not a joke! Any more, we mean. It’s actually got a date.
- Last but not least, Ashes of Creation is talking about griefing while promising a look at character creation soon. That’s not shy.
We do, of course, still have a full list of games in testing down below; it’s just had one game removed because it turned out it was run by scamming liars who wanted to get involved in another scam. Yay! If something down below turns out to have been slipped quietly into a different test state than what we have listed, let us know 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.

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.
