In a few days, interested parties can extensively play the new MMORPG Steam for the first time in Scars of Honor. MeinMMO reveals what you can expect in the upcoming playtest.
What kind of playtest is this? The first playtest for Scars of Honor on Steam will take place from April 30 to May 11, 2026, and aims to give you an impression of how the new MMORPG from Beast Burst Entertainment plays. The following features are supposed to be available during the test, according to the developers:
- 4 playable races: Humans, Dwarves, Undead, and Hellish Demons
- 4 playable classes: Paladin, Mage, Ranger, and Druid
- Combat and Leveling
- Quests and Exploration of the Open World
- Talents and Scars System
- Gathering and Crafting
- Procedural Dungeons
- PvP Battlegrounds and Arenas
- Integrated Voice Chat
The responsible parties emphasize that the MMORPG is still in development. There may be bugs and glitches, and work is still being done on many systems and content. Further playtests are planned in the coming weeks and months. These could then focus on certain features of the game, such as the dungeons or the PvP.
How can I participate? On Steam, you can sign up for this and upcoming playtests. The registrations for the playtest are set to go out in waves. How many players will be allowed on the servers in the one and a half weeks is unclear. However, it is certain that there will be more playtests before the early access launch.
WoW with Scars
What is Scars of Honor as an MMORPG? SoH began as a solo project but has evolved over the years into an ambitious genre representative, with about 100 developers currently working on it. The colorful comic style, theme park orientation (with quests, dungeons, and instanced PvP), the two warring factions, and some of the classes and races strongly resemble World of Warcraft.
Noteworthy features of Scars of Honor include extensive class talent trees reminiscent of Path of Exile and the namesake Scars System. Behind this are cards that you can earn, for example, during the leveling phase, which noticeably expand your playstyle.
Unusual: You will always be presented with a random selection of cards from which you then choose one. From your constantly growing collection of scars, you will then activate a specific number. This is intended to create even greater variance within the classes.
