The new MMORPG Elyon has not only announced a second closed beta but also a release date in autumn 2021. Additionally, the second beta is expected to offer more content than the first one. Whether the second round in Elyon is worth it, we at MeinMMO have examined.
What was announced? Developer Bluehole has announced a release window and a second closed beta phase for the upcoming MMORPG Elyon. Elyon is set to be released in autumn 2021 and shares this period with another highly anticipated MMORPG, namely Lost Ark. However, a precise date has not yet been established.
Moreover, a second closed beta has been announced, for which you can sign up from July 26 to August 11. The exact start of the beta will be announced following this period. The closed beta will last for five days and allow more players than the first beta.
What new content is there? The developers will provide us with a new version in the second closed beta, which is supposed to be closer to the Korean version. So you won’t be playing the same content as in the first beta phase. The new content includes:
- The new class: The Slayer
- Balancing adjustments and revised abilities
- A new type of content with the dimension portals
- The dungeons are now divided into solo and group content
- Faster leveling to see more of the game during the beta
- Better infrastructure for Western players
- English, German, French, and Spanish as selectable languages
- Events specifically for the closed beta

How access to the beta works
How can you participate? You can sign up for the second closed beta directly on the Elyon website (via Elyon.Playkakaogames.com) or also through the Steam page of Elyon (via Steam). The possibility to do so will be enabled on July 26. You will then be notified via email whether you are allowed to participate in the beta.
Starting July 26, the game will also be available for pre-order. However, it is not yet known whether this will guarantee you a spot in the beta.
Why is the second round worth it? Due to the many new contents and a much more advanced version of the game, the excursion into the second beta is worthwhile even if you have already played the first one.
Since more players will be allowed, your chances of getting a spot are correspondingly increased, but there is no bonus for members of the first beta. For everyone interested in Elyon who could not participate in the first beta, the second beta is an optimal second chance to get a glimpse of the new MMORPG.
