It is official – the Blazing Core open beta will start on September 7
Tomorrow you can become a knight of the future, bring your favourite mech to the arena and fight for honor and glory!
Participation in the beta is absolutely free for everyone. We are happy to welcome newcomers as well as veterans. The game is not perfect yet, but you can help make Blazing Core better. Many thanks to our community who inspires, helps and supports us.
We worked hard to add more and more interesting stuff to the game during open beta test preparations, and we are not going to stop here.
We’ll give you a glimpse of what’s coming in the near future. The work on the new mech is in full swing. During its creation we used some ideas of our alpha-testers. The old maps are completely redesigned, and judging by your feedback, we are doing the right thing. Cordelia will receive a new drone, which will be very different from the current one. Improved damage system and updated interface are on the way.
While working on the technical stuff, we do not forget about other aspects of the game. We are actively developing the game universe, the Blazing Core factions, their history and relationships. We are preparing new knight tournaments, various quests, videos and a whole bunch of other things.
It's time to take the place of the pilot in the cockpit of Blazing Core battle mech. Buckle on, it's gonna be a BLAST.
