NEXON has announced that the dark fantasy PC MMORPG "Ashes of the Unconquered" will hold a global test on Steam from December 4 to 11, with support for Traditional Chinese. This event is a limited-time test and not an official launch.
Players can now apply for test access on Steam. The official plan is to distribute participation qualifications and open pre-downloads on December 3, with each selected player able to invite up to three friends.
This round of testing is larger in scale than the previous Steam Next Fest version, opening up six regions and four classes. Players can choose to play as the Storm Sorcerer wielding wind and thunder magic, the Executioner swinging a giant axe, the Phantom Swordsman controlling phantom blades, or the Night Tracker using a longbow infused with moonlight and frost, experiencing the main storyline across six regions.
The test will also feature the new raid "Forbidden Reef," the open-world cooperative mode "Legion Invasion" where players defend against elf army invasions, and the large-scale PvP "Aether Purification War" where three factions compete for resources. Set on a continent devastated by an elf invasion, players take on the role of an illegitimate child of the Haberwell family, rising from a mercenary seeking a way out to the leader of a fallen house, battling corrupted creatures and elf armies.
