Dark and Darker’s Third Alpha Playtest Starts This December

/

Developer Ironmace announced through Steam that the third alpha playtest for their high-risk first person action RPG Dark and Darker will happen on December 16 and will run until December 23. 

If you were hoping for the third alpha playtest to occur this November, you’ll have to wait a bit longer as the developer intentionally did this to give them more time between each playtest to work on the game and fix a variety of bugs and issues that surfaced during the last playtest. It makes sense as the second playtest did just end last week, on November 2.

For the third playtest, it will only last for a week from December 16 - 23 and Ironmace didn’t mention so far if there will be new content added to the game during the next playtest. 

Regardless, for those excited to jump back in Dark and Darker, here’s the exact start and end dates based in regions, for your reference.
