Also in September, the military MMO Armored Warfare is going into Early Access. The last phase was not even a week ago.
Normally, a “Closed Beta” remains active for months, and some games in Early Access are simply permanently playable. Alternatively, one can rely on another system: a beta weekend or an Early Access phase is a special occasion that is only used very sporadically and that fans are very eager for.
In “Armored Warfare”, the Russian/American answer to the tank giant World of Tanks, there is Early Access for a while every month. Only selected players or those who have purchased a founder’s package are allowed in.
Since September 3rd, we are now in the fifth Early Access phase, the servers are running 24/7 until September 20th. The fourth Early Access phase ran from August 13th to August 30th. There was a half-week break between both phases, and the progress from Phase 4 is carried over to Phase 5… indicating that the system is a bit strange.
If you want to know more about Early Access and what Obsidian Entertainment has changed this time, you can find information on the game’s homepage in German.
