They’ve landed. What, aliens? No, not this time, anyways. This week, Gamigo has seen fit to beam down 100 Closed Beta keys for our loyal Crunch visitors! If you’re curious about this fast-paced space combat MMO, head on over to our beta key giveaway page to grab your pilot’s license. After that, sign up here and register your beta key here. Done!
Let’s cover some of the basics: in Black Prophecy, your player character is represented by an extensively customizable ship, which will evolve as you make your way through the game world. In contrast to EvE Online, this game fosters a more traditional skill-based progression that does not require months of time investment. For players who couldn’t get into the highly detailed (and slightly monotonous) gameplay of EvE, Black Prophecy may be the droid you’re looking for. Human avatars are not planned for launch, but Gamigo has made it clear that they will consider such implementations further down the line.
The Black Prophecy Closed Beta is set to launch in April, so keep checking back for updates!
