Official Alpha Test dates for Nexon's upcoming action-RPG, Vindictus: Defying Fate, were shared today alongside a new trailer for the game.
First up, the Alpha Test for Vindictus will run from June 8th through to June 16th. The test will be held on Steam. This test will be on a newer build of the game than what was experienced with the pre-alpha test back in March 2024. This new build will include features such as companion NPCs, upgraded combat systems, a new village system, new inventory system, and more.
For those interested in playing in this Alpha Test, you can allegedly sign up on the Vindictus Steam page but I'm not seeing the option to do so yet at the time of writing.
A new trailer was also released today for Vindictus. This trailer is specifically for said Alpha Test and it shows off new characters, features, and gameplay. It basically gives you a glimpse at what to expect during the upcoming test, including the village hub area, NPCs, and the character Tieve. There's also a look at the game's combat and newly revealed characters of Lann, Fiona, Delia, and Karok.
