Hey, folks! Missed us? Fret no more, because Worbital beta is coming back this week, starting October 19th.
The second round of beta will be arranged differently from the first. For one thing, it will be significantly shorter and more focused, available during the next two weekends only. The first beta weekend will take place on October 19th-22nd, the second on October 26th-29th.
We are now gearing up for the full release, hence the more limited beta time and features. The point of this beta for us is testing the network and the new UI features and we want as many people as possible playing simultaneously. Because of this, some game modes we had in the previous beta won’t be available now. To keep things fun, we decided to throw in some awesome new guns for you!
As we announced earlier, your keys will be valid for the second beta—just update the game on Steam and you’ll be able to play again. And you should! We are planning a little something special for the beta testers in the full game version. To get access to that special thing, you need to check out the second beta, at least once.
For those of you who don’t have a beta key yet: you post a request in the #wrb_request-beta-key chat on our Discord server, and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible. We’ll start giving out new keys this Friday, October 19th. Even though the beta will not be playable during weekdays, October 23rd-25th, you can still request keys on those days.
TL;DR:
- Beta 2 Weekends: October 19th-22nd, October 26th-29th
- Keys available October 19th-29th
- Limited game modes, but new features and weapons
- Play Beta 2 at least once to be eligible for a small bonus in the release version
Bring your friends, call your neighbours—let’s rock this!
