Additionally, Heroes of the Storm has officially entered open beta, marking a significant milestone. NCSoft has also made headlines by announcing the long-awaited arrival of Blade & Soul in the West after a considerable delay, which I found to be quite impressive. What else unfolded this week?

Share your thoughts in the comments! <img alt="http://c2c.fp.guinfra.com/file/6812b446a4e391ab5b38c0cfiaa3KD6B03" height="105" src="http://c2c.fp.guinfra.com/file/6812b446a4e391ab5b38c0cfiaa3KD6B03" style="display: block; margin: 16px auto; margin-bottom: 16px !important;;font-family:Arial;" width="880"/> In the realm of MMOs, we categorize games into testing phases based on their accessibility and launch criteria. Games are classified as being in open testing when they allow free and public signups, with the promise of a server wipe prior to their official launch. Conversely, games in closed testing are under private phases, typically with restrictions enforced by non-disclosure agreements (NDAs). We also recognize early access and crowdfunded MMOs if they demonstrate credible testing phases. However, MMOs branded as “open beta” with monetized features, limited Western availability, or low engagement from our audience will not be featured. Here’s a breakdown of various MMO testing statuses: <ul style=";font-family:Arial;"> <li style="font-size: 18px; ;font-family:Arial;"> Albion Online : Set for alpha phases in the summer. </li> <li style="font-size: 18px;
