Short Answer

The first global test has already happened: a PC-only closed alpha ran May 21-27, 2026 for selected players in regions including the US, Canada, UK, Germany, Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Indonesia — fully localized in English, with monetization disabled and progress reset afterward. The next test phase has not been announced yet.

What Is Confirmed

  • The global closed alpha ran May 21-27, 2026, on PC only, after sign-ups opened in April 2026.
  • Test regions included the US, Canada, UK, Germany, Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Indonesia.
  • The alpha build was fully in English — interface, text, and voice acting — confirming localization is well advanced.
  • Monetization was disabled during the test, and all alpha progress was reset when it ended.
  • The China version has been live since April 2026, so the underlying game is in a fully operational state.

What Is Still Unknown

  • When the next test phase (broader beta or second alpha wave) will run.
  • Whether the next test will include mobile platforms.
  • Whether future test progress will carry over to launch.

Guide Notes

If you missed the May alpha, the practical move is to be positioned for the next wave: follow Level Infinite's official channels and the official Discord, and register interest wherever the official site offers it. Selection-based tests reward people who are already signed up when a wave opens.

Never buy 'alpha access' or tested accounts. Access is granted by selection, monetization was disabled during the test, and all progress was wiped — anything a seller offers is worthless or fraudulent.

Tester impressions from the May alpha are the best current preview of the global build: reviewers highlighted the huge map, the casual-friendly single-protagonist combat, and the sheer volume of content. Read them as directional — alpha builds change before launch.

FAQ

Did the global alpha already happen?

Yes — May 21-27, 2026, PC-only, in select regions, fully in English. If you were not selected, the next opportunity is the not-yet-announced follow-up test.

Was the alpha in English?

Yes, completely — text and voice acting. Additional languages are expected later.

Will there be another test?

Very likely — publishers on this scale typically run multiple phases before launch — but no dates or format have been announced.

Did alpha progress carry over?

No. All progress from the May 2026 alpha was reset, and monetization was disabled during the test.
