[BLOG] Otherworld to enter Early Access next year

Otherland is a game that's been in development for a very long time now. News posts relating to it were first popping up back in 2008, and since then it's gone though one total reboot and an exchange of developers which has contributed to the long development time.

It's been in closed beta since late last year, but now it seems that the game might finally be relasing publicly, in Early Access on Steam. The MMORPG is based on a series of novels by Tad Williams and will be available sometime in early 2016 and apparently will be "one of the most advanced titles on the service, a far cry from the Pre-Alpha Versions often put up for sale."



Features advertised include:

  • A combat system that attempts to "feel more like an fighting in an action game than in a classic MMORPG"
  • Four classes, two melee, two ranged. They broadly fit in tank, two DPSers and healing, but each looks able to fill a variety of roles.
  • A wide range of customisation options when it comes to looks.
  • Player housing within a large area of the map, where each player has their own unique space.


No prices have been announced yet, but it doesn't seem to be due to follow the free-to-play route.
Yes that's Minecraft-me in my av. Done by Reiu who is damn talented!
