Indie MMO Spotlight: So Many Updates!

Each week, we scour the internet for all things indie MMO-related, so you don’t have to. This week, Ravendawn teases its next update, Fractured Online announces a release date, and Coreborn has a lackluster launch. Plenty of other stuff is also going on, so let’s quit wasting time and get started with this week’s Indie MMO Spotlight.

Anvil Empires

Anvil Empires’ next Minor Test will be held July 11th at 1pm ET. We can expect a new devblog before that date to share the new features being added for the test.

BitCraft

Alpha 2 is coming on July 8th. You can sign up on the BitCraft website if you haven’t already done so.

A new devblog details some of the key updates and improvements that have been made ahead of Alpha 3. The Alpha 3 test will run from July 1st through July 7th. All previous testers will be invited, and anyone who responds to the new post by July 1st will also receive an invite.

Ember Sword

A new devblog was posted this week. Titled Part Two: Path to Prologue, the post serves as a follow-up to a post from May that detailed some of the progress the team has made since the Ultra Deep playtest. This new post announces that Ember Sword: Prologue (the title being given to the Early Access build) will be available on July 12th.
