Master X Master is a colorful MOBA, where we can play heroes from NCSoft’s MMORPGs like Wildstar, Aion, and Blade & Soul. Sounds interesting? Then check out the alpha playtest this weekend!
This coming weekend, from June 24 to 27, the first alpha playtest of Master X Master, the MOBA game from NCSoft, will begin. In the first of three planned testing phases, you can try out the 3vs3 and 5vs5 game modes with a limited selection of heroes, the so-called “Masters,” and play some PvE missions in co-op mode. Yes, you read that right, Master X Master is not only a classic MOBA, but also a co-op game. Additionally, you control the game with the WASD keys and can switch to a second hero at any time with the press of a button.

Furthermore, the developers at NCSoft have now published details about the payment model of Master X Master. The game will have a classic free-to-play model and will be financed through microtransactions. For real money, there will be new Masters, boosters, and cosmetics available, which can also be unlocked in-game. Every player receives two Masters for free at the start, and additional heroes will be freely playable in weekly rotations.

Mein-MMO says: I have already been able to briefly play Master X Master in the alpha, and I really enjoyed the PvE mode and the cool action controls via WASD. Therefore, I am really looking forward to the test. Will you be joining the alpha test? We might see each other there!
