Middle East – MMO Fallout

I know what you’re thinking: “Omali, I want to try out City of Steam but I live in Turkey and only gained the ability to speak English for the sake of this email. What can Mechanist Games do for me?” The easy answer is: Everything. With the next beta weekend coming, Mechanist Games has put out a press release detailing some upcoming expansions. In the near future, City of Steam will be published in the Middle East, North Africa, and Turkey. Not only will the game be available in those regions, but gamers will be happy to see that it will be published in both Arabic and Turkish alongside the English version.

Closed beta testing in the Middle East, Turkey, and North Africa is scheduled for Q1 2013. If you would like to check out the closed beta tests currently ongoing, grab a key from our banner link at the top of the page.

Good news, Star Wars fans in Croatia! Bioware has announced today that The Old Republic is available for purchase in a whole host of countries previously unavailable. The entire list includes thirty eight countries over Europe and the Middle East, although only a select number of countries in the list will actually have The Old Republic appear on retail shelves. The rest will have to buy through Origin.

Check the list below to see if your country is listed. Unfortunately, if you don’t speak English, French, or German, you are out of luck. Bioware has no plans on adding any additional languages or launching servers for the new territories, so you will have to use the existing European servers.
