Good news for those of you patiently (or not-so-patiently) waiting for Fallout 76 to enter beta testing, you have a date! Slightly worse news, that’s not until October of this year, so you’ll still be waiting a while yet. So that will either encourage you to continue patiently waiting or become less patient, I guess.
On the subject of patient waiting, Camelot Unchained has its new beta date planned for July 31st, so mark that in your calendars.
You could channel that impatience into reading up on some other beta news, if you were so inclined. That would be pretty chill and would make up for the wait, right? Maybe?
- There are launch plans for Boundless, which should come as something of a surprise for everyone. It’s supposedly reaching launch on September 11th, which isn’t even all that far away.
- Speaking of strange MMOs moving toward wider access, Occupy White Walls is heading to Steam in the near future! That is also good news to, well, anyone who enjoys art curation or just some of the weirder MMO options in the wild.
- It felt pretty down to the wire, but Fractured successfully funded over the past week, so that’s going to be moving forward. So we’ve got a little time to wait until testing arrives, but that’s fine.
- And moving on from strange MMOs and on to strange MMO actions, MapleStory 2 sold out of its founder’s packs, which is odd as the packs in question were not physical objects to be sold. Life is hilarious!
Those of you who have more impatient energy may want to do one of two things at this point: accept that being impatient is unlikely to be dispersed by sitting and reading, or hop along down below to our list of MMOs in testing. You can also follow up that part by letting us know if something in this list is filed incorrectly, as that helps us out a lot and we appreciate it.
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.
