In the Sandpark MMO ArcheAge, the fourth beta has ended, fans will likely learn what the further schedule will look like tonight. Is there another closed beta phase, will there be an open beta, and when will the game be officially released? When is the release of ArcheAge?
On the night from Friday to Saturday, Trion Worlds will host a reception at the Penny Arcade Expo, PAX Prime, in Seattle. It will start around 4 am and end around 7 am (our time; there it’s a nice evening event). They promised a “very special announcement” for this. They discussed the possibility of streaming the event live, but decided against it. The important announcement will, however, be made available on the relevant homepages as soon as possible.
What is in the box? What is in the box?
It is likely to be an appointment and thus the further schedule for the currently hotly debated game ArcheAge. So far, no further date is known, and the ArcheAge forum repeatedly points out the appointment tonight. It is hard to imagine that the “very special announcement” could solely be about a Rift news or the recipe for Scott Hartman’s best noodle soup. While that is not excluded.
It is likely that either another closed beta phase will be announced or the open beta will be dated. If a date for the open beta is mentioned, a release date could be mentioned at the same time. It will also be exciting to see how long a potential open beta will last.
ArcheAge reading material on mein-mmo.de, until it continues
If you want to pass the time until the announcement with reading material, we have prepared a small list:
- In the last few days, there has been some trouble regarding ArcheAge, as the founder packages are currently no longer available on Steam.
- Before the start of the closed beta, we at mein MMO had the opportunity for an extensive interview with Scott Hartsman, the CEO of Trion Worlds.
- Our first impression of ArcheAge from a Free2Play perspective.
And in this summary of a stream, you will learn the latest about the further course of the game: When does the alpha end? How much will the patron status cost? What release date could be likely?
To conclude the news: There was also a small competition in the last beta. This time the best screenshots were awarded. See for yourself on the official ArcheAge site.
What will have happened tonight in Seattle, you can read about tomorrow on our site.
Update Saturday 0:40: The signs are increasing that it will definitely be about ArcheAge. The official Twitter account of ArcheAge repeatedly mentions the appointment tonight as the location of an important “ArcheAge” announcement. Previously, it was not entirely clear, but now it seems certain that a major announcement for the Free2Play Sandpark MMO is imminent.
Update 6:00: We have put in a night shift, here are the dates.
