On November 29, it’s happening: The Alpha 1 event of the sci-fi MMORPG Dual Universe will begin. Gradually, more and more players will be able to participate and see what the MMORPG has to offer.
Who is Dual Universe for? Dual Universe is marketed as an indie alternative to Star Citizen. In addition, many fans of EVE Online are looking at the MMO from Novaquark.
During the Alpha 1, founders and supporters can experience for themselves how Dual Universe plays.
The Next Big Step
What does Alpha 1 bring? With Alpha 1, even more players are allowed to test Dual Universe in its latest version. Primarily, it is a test for server capacities, and a lot of feedback from testers is to be collected.
When does Alpha 1 start? The start is on November 29. Currently, there is no information on how long the Alpha will last.
However, it has been the case that the Pre-Alpha could always be played during specific weekends. The servers were not online constantly. Similar is expected for Alpha 1. The developers explain that each test session will be announced 24 to 48 hours in advance.
Who can participate? Depending on your backer status in the Kickstarter campaign, you will receive an invitation to Alpha 1 sooner or later. Additionally, all those who participated in the Pre-Alpha are allowed to join.
The developer studio Novaquark explains that new players will be admitted throughout Alpha 1. This includes those who joined after the Kickstarter campaign.
Every week, more players will be admitted, but the developers cannot promise that everyone will have access by the end of the year.
A Highly Anticipated Online Game
Players are excited for Dual Universe: Fans who haven’t been able to participate yet can hardly wait to finally join in. Although Dual Universe is still in an early stage of development and there is still much to optimize, many recognize a great potential.
Dual Universe appeals to those who want to soar through space like in Elite Dangerous or the upcoming Star Citizen, engage in trade, and have skirmishes with enemies. Fans of EVE Online have also set their sights on this MMO.
Because you have a lot of freedom in the game world and can build a large trading empire or become a pirate. One of the “fathers of EVE Online” is even working on the game.
How all of this works and interconnects will be revealed in the game, and we will get a glimpse of the title already in Alpha 1.
