Prior to the official launch of AKIVERSE, a Closed Beta Test will be conducted to test our operation and server. It will be in three phases, from “Phase 1” to “Phase 3,” and we will be testing different features for each phase.
All test results and feedback from the Closed Beta Test will be reviewed by the development and operations team and will be used to improve the experience in AKIVERSE.
300 participants for the Closed Beta Test will be selected from the application form and will receive an “Arcade Part (AP)” NFT, which is one of the four parts that make up an Arcade Machine NFT. We look forward to your application!
■Purpose of the Closed Beta Test
AKIVERSE is a platform where you can plan, develop, launch, and showcase your game all in one place. At the same time, AKIVERSE will launch with first-party games for players to enjoy.
For this Closed Beta release, we have prepared a selection of mobile arcade games developed in-house to test the gameplay experience.
The Closed Beta will be released in 3 phases, with each phase adding new features to the platform.
Seize this opportunity and become a pioneering player in AKIVERSE. We are looking forward to your participation.
*Please note that there is a possibility that the game may abruptly stop or may have issues during the test play. Since this version of the product is still under development for test play, we cannot guarantee smooth gameplay. Please do understand that this is only a test play.
*We have prepared a survey for the Closed Beta Test participants to provide feedback to the development and operation team. We look forward to your participation and your feedback on the experience in our Closed Beta Test.
