Today was the start of the Neverwinter headstart open beta for select members of the press and those who purchased the Hero of the North Founder’s Pack. When will everyone else be able to jump in?
Those who picked have already picked up the Guardian of Neverwinter pack ($59.99) will be able to join in the open beta phase on Saturday, April 27 at 9AM PDT. If you’ve watched one of the few streams on Twitch.tv and have been absolutely sold on getting the game, you can still pick up the Guardian pack and get in on the action if you purchase before open beta fully launches.
If you’re still not quite sold or happen to be lacking the funds to grab a pack, the open beta will be fully launching on Tuesday, April 30 at 9AM PDT to all users.
Having watched about four hours of MMODen’s stream earlier (and getting ready to tune back in), from what I’ve seen so far Neverwinter looks like a surprisingly solid MMORPG. Don’t take my word for it, though! Tune in to one of the many streams that will be going up this weekend and see for yourself. I can’t wait to get my hands on this one.
