Have you ever wanted to fight on a dragon like Daenerys in Game of Thrones? Then Century: Age of Ashes is the game for you! Now, in the run-up to the release, further beta dates have been announced.
The dragon rider flight combat game Century: Age of Ashes has already had a test weekend behind it, which was quite successful. Therefore, the developers are now going one step further and today confirmed the dates for the second, much larger beta test phase.
The next closed beta should also run significantly longer and will take place between March 12 and 21, 2021. The feedback from the community was also incorporated into various revisions. There are new matchmaking options and also game modes, improved controls and a free flight mode in which you can practice against the computer first.
Game progress from the previous beta has been reset. However, all experiences, earned currency and activations in the course of this second closed beta will later be transferred to the initially planned early access version. During the beta, the shop for cosmetic items will therefore also be opened, but initially it will not use real money and will only rely on currency earned in the game.
Keyword Early Access: The start of this game version has been postponed again and should now take place in the first week of April. Registrations for the upcoming Closed beta is possible via Steam.
