“We are incredibly passionate about the Nosgoth community and we wanted to highlight this in our Open Beta launch trailer which was made in conjunction with actual players” said Corey Davis, Game Director. “The community is at the core of the game and it is humbling to have such a vibrant and supportive fan-base and put these players’ front and center of our campaign.”
Whilst there is no official release date for Nosgoth, the Open Beta is the perfect opportunity to enjoy the gameplay and mechanics on offer. If the new additions are a scratch on the current content it’ll be a wild experience!
