Conqueror’s Blade, the upcoming free-to-play MMO that mixes medieval action with overhead strategy gameplay, will host a free weekend event, publisher My.com has announced.
The Winter Mayhem Siege Test will be open to anyone who registers on the game’s website and will run between December 15 and December 16. Developer Booming Games aims to use the free weekend as a stress test for the MMO’s matchmaking system and servers.
Once the free weekend concludes, existing beta testers alongside anyone who’s purchased one of the Conqueror’s Blade founder’s packs, can continue playing between December 17 and December 19 in the Closed Siege Test.
It’ll be worth to keep an eye on the game’s social media channels as the developers will also hold giveaways that can grant access to the closed beta test. Conqueror’s Blade will be free-to-play at launch.
To those unaware, Conqueror’s Blade is an MMO that mixes third person action combat with strategy, in a medieval setting. It’ll have a whole array of units from both Western and Eastern civilizations, including Swiss halberdiers to Mongol horse riders and Samurai. Players will have the opportunity to get into the thick of fights and sieges using one of the game’s distinct classes, as well as take strategic decisions and engage in a game of territorial control, diplomacy and economy across the game’s persistent open world.
