POSTED BY Beelzebabb (Official Albion Online website)

Hi all,

Totally overlooked the fact that I hadn’t made an official post to announce the date of the test, so apologies for that. I know @Sarus Jewel has already made a post (thanks btw), but in case anyone hasn’t seen it or wants official confirmation, the summer alpha test is indeed scheduled to begin on the 15th of September for those with a headstart, and sometime on the following day (we haven’t quite decided exactly when) for those without. Just a quick recap of some details:

– The test will run for a minimum of 2 weeks, with a projected ideal length of 4 weeks or longer.
– Legendary and Epic founders will be able to participate in this test, as well as in the winter alpha later in the year. Veteran founders will be able to play from closed beta testing, which is scheduled to commence early next year.
– There is no NDA, and indeed we encourage you to stream or capture footage from the test should you wish, and to discuss your experiences.
– We have temporarily suspended downloads of the clients, so the associated link on our website is currently inactive. All testers will receive an email with instructions on how to download the clients and redeem their keys nearer the test start date.
