Betawatch: EVE studio seeks testers for another shooter spinoff

    
1
Not AGAIN.

CCP Games is forever in a cycle of trying to make fetch happen, huh? The developer is looking for veterans of DUST 514 to test out another first-person shooter spinoff from EVE Online because those spinoffs have worked so well in the past. You may also wish for references to castles and swamps.

And now that we’re done trying to make fetch happen, let’s make other beta news happen. We consistently make that happen.

Now, we entreat you to go ahead and check out the full list of games in testing just below. That is something we are still trying to make happen, and by “make happen” in this context I mean “just letting you know it’s there.” The comments are also there for you to share your beta-related thoughts or let us know if something slipped into a new test phase without us noticing. These things don’t happen every week, but they do happen.

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.
