Kakao Games contacted me (through a mass mailing, but it sounds cooler to say it that way) and informed me that they are accepting applications for their closed beta for Elyon (formerly A:IR – Ascent Infinite Realm). You can apply at their website https://www.playkakaogames.com/. As of this writing, on the second slide there’s a button that looks like the picture above.
Once you sign up, it’ll ask you to log in or create your Kakao Games account, which you might have already if you’ve played some of their other games such as Black Desert Online. Then, there’s a short survey and it’ll tell you they’ll let you know. The beta test itself will be held from May 6th through May 10th. See below for full application and test schedule as well as a link to the Elyon beta FAQ.
