Qooland Games has announced its sci-fi MMO Warborne Above Ashes will be getting an expanded playtest, starting on April 24th.
The team says this will offer players the “first full-scale experience of its massive battlefield, deep faction warfare, and larger-scale strategic combat”, and that sign-ups are available via the official Steam page.
There was a previous playtest in March, and some stats have been released for that. There were over 50,000 players who took part, across 128 countries, and over 100 guilds took part in the battles. Oh and a fun stat for you, the longest battle took 132 minutes (which is the same run time as the movie Die Hard). Here’s some of the details for Warborne Above Ashes:
- A full map that expands the battlefield, featuring key strategic locations where warbands and factions vie for territorial control.
- Six unique factions, each with exclusive features and buffs, allow players to forge alliances, spark rivalries, and engage in large-scale battles.
- A full month of continuous warfare allows conflicts to evolve, strategies to adapt, and players to leave a lasting impact on the outcome.
- An expanded arsenal at players’ command, featuring a diverse range of Drifters, weapons, vehicles, and offense & defense buildings, to enhance combat tactics and battlefield mobility.
- Varied and diverse playstyles, whether fighting solo or in a squad. Players can carve their own path to success, where lone mercenaries and tightly-knit teams alike can make their mark on the war
Before the playtest begins, players can start rallying their forces in the Driftmaster Rally Event on Warborne Above Ashes’ official Discord. By gathering allies and reaching the required member count, participants can secure reserved warband and character names ahead of the test. Additionally, players will earn Eclipsium, the game currency, to recruit powerful Drifters in the test, along with a chance to claim cash prizes!
This event has already caught the attention of some of the world’s most renowned MMO guilds. Don’t miss this chance to engage in epic battles with some of the finest players around!
Warborne Above Ashes delivers 24/7 large-scale PvP warfare, where battles unfold in real-time, day and night. With just 30 minutes of preparation, players can jump straight into the fight. Whether leading a warband or fighting solo, every player has the chance to make an impact the moment they enter the battlefield.
Warborne Above Ashes will be part of Steam Wargames Fest, and is coming to PC.
