Betawatch: Palia wraps up another alpha test

We’re sorry if you’re one of the many people who dearly wants to play Palia but was not invited to the most recent alpha. You want to play it, but the game is reserved for people who are just a bit cooler than you are. But the announcement that the test wrapped up promises more tests are coming, along with more froggy buckets, so perhaps in the future you’ll be allowed in. (If you were in, please congratulate yourself on being cool.)

Further beta news awaits below!

• If you’re hungry for some vampiric battle royale action, Bloodhunt is happy to announce that it will be launching on April 27th for everyone to enjoy.
• If you’re hungry for some new continental action in Fractured, you can… check out the new Aerhen continent. That analogy doesn’t work as well. Closed beta on April 6th!
• If you’re hungry for more The Cycle beta testing, you’ll be glad that it’s extended its testing through April 19th. What? I’m hungry right now.
• And if you’re hungry for Dual Universe PvP changes in the Athena update… well, those are being shown off. Mmm, tastes like PvP.

You know what? I should go get myself some dinner. But you can just go ahead and leap on down to the full list of games we have in testing just below. You can even let us know if something has slipped into a new test phase without us noticing. And if you’re also hungry, you can get yourself a snack or something.

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.
