After much waiting, we finally have a date for the next big Ashes of Creation alpha test. Or, rather, three dates. The hugely ambitious new MMORPG, first announced in 2016 and funded by a successful Kickstarter campaign, is preparing to open its doors to supporters once again with a series of expanded test phases beginning in October. If you’ve been eager to try out the project for yourself, you’ll even have another chance to get involved – but you’ll have to pay to do so.
