The new Alpha of Wild West Online still hasn’t started and the developers are no longer providing a date. This makes players a bit skeptical. However, there should be new information today.
Update: There is now a release date for the “Early Access Alpha”. It is set to start on November 15. It will bring:
- 100 quests
- 20 weapons
- Two public events
The release of Wild West Online is still planned for 2017. Recently, there has been unrest among fans of Wild West Online because they have been waiting for this date for a long time. The alpha was supposed to have been running for quite a while now.
Original report:
The current alpha of Wild West Online was supposed to take place from October 10 to November 15. However, it was postponed because feedback from testers in the first alpha indicated that many elements were still missing to make the online game enjoyable. While fans are now waiting for the start of the new testing phase, it has been announced on the game’s Facebook page that there is no new date for the alpha.
No exact date for the next alpha anymore
Currently, it’s only stated that the testing phase will start in November. An exact day is not mentioned. The team explains that players want significantly more content. And they intend to deliver just that. However, since the team is very small, it takes time to create this content. As a result, the alpha has been postponed.
They do not want to commit to a new date for now, as they do not want to disappoint fans again. The new testing phase is still expected to start in November. A specific date should be announced shortly.
Has the team gotten lost?
Fans are divided about this announcement. On one hand, they understand that Wild West Online needs significantly more content and it is also understandable that it takes time to create this content. On the other hand, skepticism is slowly spreading. Have the developers totally misjudged the game’s development? After all, it should be released this year. Would they really have released an online game that has hardly any content?
Is Wild West Online just a “fake”?
The feedback from the first alpha has shown that much needs to be done for Wild West Online. And this work is now postponing further testing phases and surely the release as well. As a small compensation, a female character has been shown, as you will soon be able to play as a woman.
The next alpha is particularly important for the title because fans will be able to see if the desired content is truly coming and if the game can survive in the long term in the market, or if it is just a “fake”, as many have feared for months. Skepticism arose, since it was suspected that Sergey Titov has something to do with the game: That Sergey Titov, who is behind the “scandal” surrounding the online game War Z.
