Wakfu begins open beta

Wakfu has officially begun open beta today in North America, allowing players to test the game for free.

The open beta launch includes a new update that removes closed beta restrictions, adds the new Sram’s Shadow class, introduces new characteristics for characters, adds new areas, and more. All closed beta data has been wiped, giving players a clean start as of today.

Wakfu plans to launch in February 2012, with a hybrid free-to-play model that includes a free download and a “large amount” of content available for free, with additional content available for a $6 monthly subscription fee. The game will also offer a cash shop for cosmetic items.

Wakfu is published by Square Enix, which also publishes Final Fantasy XI and Final Fantasy XIV.
