The open beta of the MMORPG Bless Unleashed has launched on Xbox One. Everyone can join now. The initial reactions are quite positive.
When did the open beta start? On November 7th, developer Neowiz opened the gates to the free, open beta of the MMORPG Bless Unleashed. Now anyone who wants to check out the online game on Xbox One can join.
How long does it last? The testing phase ends on November 21st. The official release of the MMORPG is expected in early 2020. The developers did not specify an exact date. They want to implement feedback from the open beta to further improve Bless Unleashed for the official launch.
A good MMORPG for Xbox One
How is the open beta being received? Bless Unleashed has been viewed with skepticism since its announcement, as the PC MMORPG Bless Online, which also came from Neowiz, was received poorly and has since been discontinued. Therefore, player skepticism is quite understandable.
Surprisingly, the feedback for the open beta is quite positive.
- annie14229 states on Reddit: “Overall, the game is really nice. I’m playing on an Xbox One X.”
- jollyhitman writes: “The game feels a million times better than the first beta!”
- Wuseline believes: “I’ve played for several hours now and I’m surprised at how good the game is.”
- Kaladinar explains: “I’m afraid there’s still a lot to improve. The combat isn’t feeling great yet and the performance is disappointing even on an Xbox One X.”
What about the criticisms from the last beta? Even the closed beta was generally well received. The biggest criticism back then was the combat, which was simply too slow and didn’t feel good.
The open beta has made improvements in this area. But apparently not enough, as the combat continues to be criticized. It is said to feel better than in the closed beta, but still not as quick as some players would like.
zGnRz says: “The combat still feels slow, considering it’s supposed to be an action-packed combat system.”
