“The sheer volume of players who signed up for this pre-open beta was flattering, but we were glad to be prepared for so much excitement and interest,” said Joymax CEO, Nam-chul Kim. “We have GMs in game regularly to take feedback, play games with our lucky testers, and they’ve reported how much fun everyone is having!”

The pre-open beta runs now through July 19th, so players will have the next couple of weeks to familiarize themselves with the game, learn how to build a character from the ground up and customize them with a variety of skills, use many of the diverse weapons available in the game while blasting their opposing faction’s players and zombies. All of this time will just help them gain experience for when the game officially launches later this summer!
