A Closed Beta program has been launched for strategy title Oriental Empires (PC), created by industry veterans R.T. Smith and John Carline and published by Iceberg Interactive, slated for release by the end of Q3-2016.
“The closed beta program will enable a fixed-sized and fully controllable testing environment, where feedback is manageable and easy to digest for the relatively small indie team. The beta program will consist of several different phases/waves, introducing a fixed number of new players to the beta program at different development points. Once the closed beta program for Oriental Empires is complete, the title will be launched as a solid and finished product”, says Iceberg Interactive Producer Bart Schouten.
Passionate strategy gamers are now welcome to sign up for a chance to take part in the Beta program. For more information on entering the Closed Beta program, please head to the Steam Hub.
