Friendly reminder, Fellows!
Fellowship’s Open Beta begins this Thursday, September 18 at 10am PT and ends on Tuesday, September 23 at 10am PT, and it’s open to everyone!
That’s right, during the time of Open Beta, all you need to do is go to Fellowship’s Steam page, click the “Join the Playtest” button, download the Open Beta and you’re in.
This will be our final Beta before Fellowship is available on Steam in Early Access on October 16, so don’t miss your chance to jump in the Beta. Below’s an FAQ covering everything you need to know about the Beta.
The Beta servers will be live 24/7, so that means you can play the Open Beta at any time for as long as you want when the Beta’s available. Also, for our streamers and content creators out there, there’s NO NDA for this Beta, so definitely feel free to stream, share videos, and talk about the Open Beta any time.
We absolutely can’t wait for you all to jump into the Open Beta and see just how much Fellowship has evolved since we had our last public playtest in February during Steam Next Fest. We’re also excited to get one final round of feedback from you all before we enter Early Access on October 16th. We hope you’ll have a ton of fun playing, and we’re looking forward to your feedback on our Fellowship Discord.
We’ll see you in the Open Beta from September 18 to 23, Fellows!
