City of Steam Early Admission Begins May 10th

It’s been a while since we managed to get our hands on City of Steam, and that is about to change come in just two weeks. The folks over at Mechanist Games have announced that City of Steam will be heading into early access open beta starting May 10th. The prelude to open beta will see the servers open continuously, however players will initially only have access to three classes (gunner, arcanist, warden) and four races (Heartlanders, Stoigmari, Avens, Ostenians) with the fourth class and seven other races unlocked over the course of the beta. The idea, of course, is for focused content testing.

There are no wipes planned for this prelude to open beta, so players can consider it something of a super-soft launch (softer than an overripe banana). Gamers who tried out City of Steam’s previous betas will be happy to know that there has been a number of updates since the last beta period, including a new skill/talent system, crafting system, new zones, more content, more cosmetics, improved dungeons, and the open world wilderness zones. Access to the beta is open to just about anyone. If you have a collaborator pack, participated in previous betas, or even are just subscribed to the newsletter, you’re guaranteed entry.
