Those of you who are eagerly awaiting the Diablo IV beta are going to be waiting for a while yet, but you probably already knew this now. Those of you who just want to see what the current test looks like, however, can take refuge in leaked footage online that shows everyone what the current testing looks like. It’s definitely not what the designers intended, but it’s out there and now everyone can enjoy it. So how does that grab you?
It doesn’t grab you at all? Well, let’s see if some of this other beta news grabs you, then.
- The anticipated Nightingale has delayed its early access kickoff until 2023, so anyone who was hoping to get the first dose of the game this year will have to live with a bit of disappointment.
- Looking forward to more beta testing for Overwatch 2? Well, you aren’t getting any because there will be no more public tests. Sorry, peeps.
- Yes, this has become a list of things you’re not getting. You’re not getting to keep your progress on Dual Universe when it launches, either, and the wipe plans have been outlined in detail.
- You also cannot have The Wagadu Chronicles yet… because its next alpha test will be in the fall. But you can sign up for that now, so that’s something.
Well, hey, let me tell you something you can definitely still have – the complete list of games in testing just below. It’s right there for you! And if something is missing or something has skipped into another test phase without us noticing, you can let us know down in the comments. You know what that lets you have? Our gratitude.
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.
