Who doesn’t like a good character creator? The people in charge of Black Desert clearly like having one so much that a standalone version was released. Now everyone can enjoy making characters that are just like Bart. If you can’t wait to make a character and play said character, of course, you’ll have to wait for the next closed beta test starting up on February 18th.
Meanwhile, Blade & Soul leaves the list altogether, what with its launch this past Tuesday.
And there’s other beta news, too!
- Metal Gear Online has left the realm of beta and has officially launched, if you want to subject people to your best Solid Snake impersonation over the internet.
- The Japanese version of League of Legends is in testing until the end of January.
- Laplace has added four new classes to its beta along with advanced tiers of classes, if that’s the sort of thing you’re into.
- The closed beta for MU: Origin starts next week; guides for getting started with the mobile title are available.
- Dreadnought went into alpha, excellent news for everyone who’s ever wanted to play an enormous ship or just wanted to see if one should, in fact, dread. (Thanks for the tip, Jim!)
- ECO continues to progress along the road to beta with the implementation of the power system, detailed in the most recent development blog entry.
- Want a bit more character customization? Check out some new videos regarding customization for Bless Online‘s races in the newest beta.
And just as in previous weeks, we do indeed have more titles listed down below. Is something missing? Why, let us know in the comments!
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.
