I really hope your plans for the immediate future didn’t include playing the full retail release for Sword Coast Legends, because the game’s launch has been delayed for a second time until October 20th. That’s the bad news; the good news is that the game is indeed still holding its early access period as promised, so you’ll at least get to set foot in the game this weekend.
And yes, the rest of the beta world moves on. For example!
- Armored Warfare has held a stress test, which is the final stage before the game enters open beta testing and is available to all. There are new features in said stress test if you last played the game a while back.
- Venus Rising has entered beta testing, wink wink, nudge nudge, say no more.
- Once the current round of testing is done, Crowfall is heading back to full development mode with the knowledge of what works and what doesn’t.
- If you’re curious about Bless, you can check out some video of its last beta test and read a summary of same. There’s also some information about pets, as well.
Do we have a list of other games just down below? We sure do, and we sure appreciate you letting us know if we missed something important.
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.
