Riders of Icarus Open Beta Available Now
After various closed beta tests designed to gather and implement feedback to prepare Riders of Icarus for its western expansion, Nexon America and WeMade Entertainment announced the open beta launch of this free-to-play MMORPG. Available now in North America, Europe, Oceania and other supported regions for Windows PC via Steam or the Nexon Launcher, players can begin their journey today to rule the skies and ground in battle.
Check out the official adversaries gameplay trailer of Riders of Icarus, featuring various enemies from the game:
“Players joining the fight will be able to collect and tame hundreds of mythical beasts to train as rideable mounts and deadly weapons in their journey through an epic fantasy world. By engaging in theatrical boss battles with their trusted mounts, players will master skills to become a legendary Rider of Icarus.
“The Riders of Icarus’ Open Beta is only the beginning of a long and fruitful adventure in bringing the game to a new western audience,” said Hoon Seok, the game’s producer. “Feedback from our earlier Closed Beta tests has been instrumental in ensuring an immersive experience for all players. We’re looking forward to working closely with the community throughout our Open Beta as well, to expand the world of Riders of Icarus with their valuable input.”
Nexon America and WeMade have already begun implementing feedback from the Closed Beta period to provide the best possible experience for players in Riders of Icarus, making several enhancements in advance of the open beta launch, including:
- Better and more engaging tutorials;
- New controls tailored for a variety of MMO players;
- Reduced penalties for item enhancement;
- Added achievements system to provide engaging missions and more ways to earn in-game currency;
- Updates to the cash shop to align with their commitment to making Riders of Icarus a truly free-to-play game.
In the coming months, players can also look forward to an increased level cap, new regions to explore, dungeons to conquer and mounts to tame. In addition, the battlefield system will later incorporate Player-versus-Player (PvP) and Player-versus-Environment (PvE) elements that will blend to give players an organic experience.”
