News | New World Open Beta Announced
An open beta of Amazon Games' New World was announced during Gamescom Opening Night Live.
It looks set to be Amazon Games’ first successful game as the current closed beta is popular on Steam. Amazon’s Lord of the Rings mmo was canceled and the multiplayer game Crucible was also removed after launch.
Despite the large player numbers, the New World beta did not run smoothly. Last month it was revealed that beta testers had broken video cards – especially the GeForce RTX 3090. This seemed to be due to too high frame rates being reached. Amazon said it has no indication that it is a widespread problem, but released a patch that locks the number of framerates per second.
The open beta is from September 9 to 12. The mmo will be released in full on September 28.

Both the single player and multiplayer modes can be tested. In addition, there is cross-progression between the PC and console versions.
The open beta begins on August 20 at 7:00 PM on PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X and S, and Xbox One. It ends on August 23 at 7:00 PM. You can already install the beta from today.
In the open beta, five different classes are playable (Barbarian, Druid, Amazon, Sorceress, and Paladin). Assassin and Necromancer will also be added upon release of the game. In the beta, the first two acts from the game are playable.

News | Upcoming Back 4 Blood beta will include Swarm mode
Turtle Rock Studios has released more information about the upcoming Back 4 Blood open beta. For example, the beta includes a PvP mode called Swarm.
In Swarm, two teams of four players compete against each other, with one team playing as the Infected Ridden and the other as the human Cleaners. The beta has two maps for these modes.
In addition to the Swarm mode, new content from the campaign should also be added in the upcoming beta, as well as a new playable Cleaner and two cooperative maps.
People who have pre-ordered the game can play the beta from August 5 to 9 and all other interested parties can get started from August 12 to 16. The beta is available on Xbox Series X and S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and PC. The beta also supports cross-play.
Back 4 Blood is being developed by Left 4 Dead creator Turtle Rock Studios. Although the co-op shooter is similar in structure, Back 4 Blood introduces a number of new game mechanics. For example, enemies and circumstances per level work with a card system, which players can view prior to a round. This makes it possible to see which enemies are introduced and whether obstacles such as fog are present. Players in turn can also select their cards with bonuses.
Back 4 Blood comes out in full on October 12. The game will also be immediately available on Game Pass.
