Drakantos sets its next closed beta for May 22

Drakantos is heading back into closed beta on May 22. The Spanish indie MMORPG, which leans hard into pixel art and class-based co-op play, has now locked in the date for its next test after earlier betas in 2025. The game has a Steam listing here.

If you haven’t been following it, Drakantos is a top-down online RPG with a big retro look and a roster of distinct classes, including the very important cat bard. It’s been on the radar for a while now, and previous testing gave players a chance to try its combat, group play, and early progression systems.

This latest beta date is the main news here. The source material doesn’t go into much detail about what’s changing in this specific test, but players interested in getting in will want to keep an eye on the game’s official channels for access details and any updated test notes.

Drakantos has been in view since 2023 as one of the smaller MMORPG projects trying to carve out space with a more old-school presentation instead of the usual big-budget approach. If the May 22 beta sticks to that same setup, expect another limited chance to see how the game is shaping up before any wider launch plans are announced.
