Beta Data: September 18, 2015 .

First Assault

This week saw the launch of Wargaming’s highly anticipated naval combat MMO, World of Warships, bringing Ranked Battles to the game.

Warhammer: End Times – Vermintide announced their community Beta phase will begin on September 19. This will begin with a Closed Beta which will be under a strict NDA, closely followed by an Open Beta which will be available for everybody.

Ghost in the Shell Online is coming to the Western market, as announced by Nexon this week, under the name of First Assault. Beta testing will commence October 1.

And also from Nexon comes a new mobile team-based strategy game based on the Cabal games – Cabal: Another Epic. Sadly we don’t know much else about this one yet but it could be a fun game!

Meanwhile, Webzen revealed that they will be publishing the anime-styled action MMORPG ELOA (Elite Lord of Alliance) in the West.

And Dead Island: Epidemic, the MOBA in the Dead Island franchise that has been in Open Beta testing for several months now, has announced that they will sadly be closing their servers on October 15.

Though in brighter news, Skara: the Blade Remains has begun the transition from paid Early Access to free to play! The game will be in a Closed Beta period from September 30 in order to prepare for launch. This test will be invite only, though all current paid players will have access.

Armored Warfare has received a major update which introduces a huge new map, 12 new PvE missions, a player report feature and much more to their Early Access period.

And ArenaNet revealed that the Elite Specialization for the Engineer class in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns will be the Scrapper, a two-handed hammer wielder which plays like a tank.

Notice anything missing? Get in touch and we’ll take a look!
