250.000 people (along with yours truly) signed up for the beta testing of the upcoming space MMO Jumpgate Evolution. The Beta is scheduled to begin later this year. The game itself, from the looks of in game material released so far, is more action oriented in comparison to Eve Online – its direct and only real contender in the space/sci-fi MMO market (at this moment). I’d be inclined to call it the Space Invaders, while Eve would be Tetris. Now that would be one great thing to look forward to – a Tetris MMO – I have no idea how it would be possible, but I never thought putting blocks into place would be that much fun either. I’ll leave it to the Russians to figure it out.
Anyways …
Celebrating the occasion, Codemasters released a batch of new screenshots, of which we present a few below
The Fourth Aion Closed Beta Event starts on Friday, July 17, 2009 – Noon PT, and ends on Monday, July 20, 2009. For this event we can expect the first 25 levels of both the Elyos and Asmodians and a first taste of the Abyss!
For the first time, Aion players will get to experience the infamous Abyss, an unstable rift between the two shattered halves of Atreia where the center of the Tower of Eternity used to be. Get ready for a whole new MMO experience with PvPvE – epic battles with hundreds of Elyos and Asmodians fighting both each other and the AI-controlled Balaur!
Upcoming Closed Beta Events:
Closed Beta Event #4 – July 17-July 20 Focus: Elyos and Asmodian levels 1-25
Closed Beta Event #5 – July 31-August 3 Focus: TBD
Closed Beta Event #6 – August 14-August 17 Focus: TBD
A few days ago on the Giant Bomb site appeared new StarCraft 2 screenshots. In these screenshots you can see Starcraft II tech trees for all three factions.
