The Quinfall promises numerous contents and made a surprisingly good impression in its first trailer. The developers have now revealed that the start of the open beta has been slightly delayed. However, they provided a concrete date, which is also visible on the Steam page.
What kind of game is this? In The Quinfall you create a character in a beautiful editor and can explore a large, open world with it. The MMORPG does not use classes but allows you to choose between 9 different weapon types, each offering two different play styles. Armor is also supposed to influence how your character behaves in battles. Basically, the game is based on a Holy Trinity of tank, healer, and damage dealer.
The focus is otherwise on a good mix of theme park and sandbox:
- You can open your own shop, own a tavern, sail around the world with a ship, and buy a house. In the latter, there should be more than 1,000 decorations available for you to let your creativity run wild.
- You can breed and train mounts yourself.
- For the combat system, The Quinfall relies on an action system with blocking and dodging.
- PvE fans can look forward to quests, dungeons, and raids.
- For PvP fans, there are supposed to be huge battles for fortresses on every server.
There will be separate PvE and PvP servers so that people can experience PvP in the open world or consciously avoid it. The cool thing is that you can switch between these servers at any time, each accommodating 12,000 players simultaneously.
However, there are smaller bonuses on a PvP server, including more experience points and faster crafting experience. PvE servers, on the other hand, are safer and offer less frustration, say the developers.

Start of the Closed Beta on January 30
What has been announced now? Originally, The Quinfall was supposed to start its beta this year. However, this has been delayed because the developers want to make some adjustments to the content.
However, they have set a concrete date. The Quinfall will start its closed beta on January 30, 2024, on Steam. To participate, you do not need to buy a pre-order package or anything similar, but just sign up and have some luck.
The beta is supposed to gradually expand so that “all players shortly after January 30” will be able to experience the game.
Much sounds too good to be true
Is the game really that interesting? Yes, because the numerous contents overshadow everything that most other indie MMORPGs promise. Especially owning taverns, a card game, and sailing are elements that major titles like ESO have only implemented years after release or not at all.
If the developers succeed in implementing all this while maintaining the graphics and dynamics from the first trailer, then The Quinfall would definitely be a candidate for the top 10 MMORPGs.
However, that also raises skepticism. For an indie studio that has only existed since 2021, this sounds way too ambitious. That’s why the beta in January will be so exciting. We will see if the big promises can be kept.
But even if not, fortunately, there are still some other titles in development: All 65 MMORPGs currently in development for PC.
What do you think of The Quinfall? Do the graphics, trailer, and basic concept appeal to you? Or is there something that makes you particularly skeptical?
