MMORPG Ember Sword, developed by Bright Star Studios, began its closed beta phase on July 12 at 11:00 UTC. Dubbed the Prologue, this phase takes place on the testnet and aims to gather community feedback to refine the game before its official release.
Select players will gain early access to the game during the closed beta, including special privileges and a chance to compete for many different rewards such as NFTs and a share of the 5 million $EMBER tokens.
The beta is initially scheduled for approximately four weeks, subject to adjustments based on testing outcomes and community response.
How do I participate in the Closed Beta?
Participants in the closed beta must meet at least ONE of the following criteria:
- Must own any Ember Sword Land
- Hold any $EMBER badges
- Possess a minimum of 5000 $EMBER tokens
- Part of the Creator Program
To participate, eligible players are required to connect their wallet to their Ember Sword account and the testnet, using the same wallet across platforms.
It is recommended to use MetaMask for this purpose, as it has been thoroughly tested and verified for compatibility with ImmutableX ($IMX).
What features are available during the Closed Beta?
Whilst the closed beta provide players an early look of the gameplay mechanics, the playable area is currently limited, and features like quests and comprehensive onboarding processes are still under development in preparation for the final release.
During the closed beta, players can earn cosmetic NFT drops (available only on testnet) which can later be managed through the in-game Shop UI, offering insights into the game’s blockchain integration.
Special events, like the “Canavar Must Die” competition are also part of the closed beta, where players can participate in challenges to defeat Canavar, earning rewards such as rare NFTs and $EMBER tokens to test gameplay mechanics and community engagement under real-world conditions.
Bright Star Studios plans to iterate on the closed beta with regular updates based on player feedback.
