When last we checked in on NetEase’s post-apoc MMO shooter Ashfall, it was running a spring closed beta – and delaying its launch to summer of 2024, after originally expecting it this year. Today, the company has announced another closed beta, specifically for the North American PC playerbase, coming August 3rd and running two straight weeks. (It was originally meant to be July; the devs have apologized for the delay.)
Worth noting is that this particular press release flat-out calls the game “post-apocalyptic MMORPG” without caveats or extra verbal grafts to describe it.
NetEase says the CBT will show off the game’s “eastern-style wasteland” (“a blend of classic post-apocalyptic elements with Eastern cultures in music, architecture, monsters, and customs, constructing a magnificent and thrilling wasteland world”), solo and multiplayer access, multi-platform crossplay, crafting, and combat.
Beta signups are live right here.
Dear Wanderers,
We regret to inform you that the Closed Beta Test of Ashfall has been postponed, and the new date will be on August 3rd, 2023. We apologize for any inconvenience this delay may cause and look forward to seeing you in the Eastern Wasteland.https://t.co/eF0dpLnBpx pic.twitter.com/XSq3JeclET— Ashfall (@PlayAshfall) July 27, 2023
