Forsaken World closed beta begins October 27th

Forsaken World, Perfect World Entertainment’s latest MMORPG developed especially for a western audience,  has finally come out of development enough to begin its closed beta testing on October 27th.

This first phase of closed beta testing will be exclusive, allowing a small group of players to test play as one of five races and eight classes. Forsaken World looks to be a darker MMO than Perfect World’s usual offerings, with a distinctly western fantasy flair. Players with a PWE account can also apply for closed beta, if they haven’t already done so.
