Astellia Online is the evolution of the modern fantasy MMORPG that fans have been waiting for, striving to return the genre to its roots.

Astellia is an MMORPG where players collect dozens of magical companion fighters known as Astells, take them into battle in open world content, competitive team battlegrounds, massive persistent three-faction warfare, and tons of group and solo dungeons across the game world.

Astellians are heroes blessed by the stars to call upon magical allies known as Astels. Join us on an adventure through harrowing dungeons, across epic battlefields, and write your story amongst the stars.

Barunson E&A is pleased to announce that the first-ever closed beta event for Astellia has begun, giving players a chance to check out many of the new and updated features tailored to a western audience.

This first test runs from today, June 25th through July 2nd, and giveaways are happening on the official Astellia Discord, as well as several media sites across the globe. Players who pre-purchase Astellia can get in on this test and all future tests as well.

Closed beta testers will be providing the studio with invaluable data across a number of features and mechanics including progression speed and updated combat systems. Players will also assist the team in creating a baseline for how the various game systems are being used as they journey through normal content and dungeons, trying out acquired gear and more.

Saturday will offer players a chance to try out high-end gameplay in Astellia with a level boost and suitable equipment.

While there will be separate North American and European servers at launch, CBT players will be working to break the server during the technical stress test when everyone, regardless of location, will be stuffed into a single server to put it through its paces. This is being done to apply as much pressure to the system as possible.

Key Features:

• The Astell Companion System: Dozens of Astels to acquire, level, and build effective support teams that can combo directly with your character based on classes and skills.
• Customizable Skills & Combos: Player Skills have various facets that can be upgraded for different results; reduce cooldown, improved accuracy, increased damage etc etc
