The MMORPG Fractured Online is opening its closed beta to all interested players next week. Here’s how you can participate and what to expect.
This is Fractured: Fractured Online is an open-world sandbox MMORPG that draws inspiration from old-school games like Ultima Online. The setting is classic medieval fantasy.
It is played from an isometric perspective, similar to Lost Ark or Diablo, and the combat system is action-oriented, meaning you need to aim your skills and attacks to be effective.
The beta testing has been ongoing since April 6th. Players have been able to explore the continents of Myr and Aerhen, which consist of various biomes. Snowy mountains, steppe regions, and active volcanoes provide variety, and players must dress appropriately for the weather.
The weather system in Fractured is very detailed and each biome has its own weather cycle. The game characters are differently sensitive to temperature fluctuations, depending on their race. Therefore, they need to be dressed appropriately.
So far, only owners of the Founder’s Packs could participate. It cost at least €25.99 to join. This will change temporarily next week.
How you can participate: To play, you first need to create a Glyph account here . Once that’s done, you can download the client from the official site of the MMORPG.
- The free week starts on May 25
- And ends on May 31
You have one week to test Fractured for free. Before or after that, access to the beta will only be possible through a Founder’s Pack. However, if you decide to continue playing, your progress from the free week will carry over and you won’t have to restart.
When is Fractured releasing? There is currently no exact release date, but the MMORPG is expected to launch in 2022. Given that the closed beta has been running for some time now, a release at the end of 2022 is not unlikely.
However, keep in mind that your progress from the closed beta will not carry over. All characters and progress will be wiped before launch, meaning everyone has to start anew.
Will you try Fractured or are you perhaps already playing it? Let us know in the comments.
