Subscription time tokens! Those always work out well, right? They always fill people with positive fuzzy thoughts and make people happy? That’s a thing, isn’t it? Well, Dual Universe has implemented one as it moves closer and closer to release. Which, you know, is worth considering for a game that has a subscription in its beta state.
Other beta news? Yes. Yes there is.
- Marvel Snap is opening beta signups, which means that if you have ever asked “what if Hearthstone but with licensed characters from Disney” you will have your mobile-based answer.
- Chris Roberts has deigned to tell everyone why features are taking a long time in Star Citizen: it’s all COVID’s fault. Sure,
JanChris. - Ah, yes. The first basic combat test for Profane. The combat test designed specifically for Profane. Profane’s combat test.
- Noah’s Heart entered beta on mobile.
- Simutronics’ Galahad 3093 entered open beta this morning.
- EVE Online’s cloud service, EVE Anywhere, went into alpha.
- Last but not least, Mad World is speaking up in its next test. Because it’s getting voice acting, you see. That means voices. By definition, in fact.
For now, we bid you adieu as we do every week, but not before reminding you that we have an entire list of games currently in testing just below. We’re eager for your feedback! If you notice something that should be re-classified, let us know, either because it slipped into another test phase without our noticing or it’s something we’ve missed altogether.
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, nor will games that are NFT/blockchain scams; 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.
