With regards to development, Sharif noted that the company has already done a large level of QA testing for their Alpha One project. Sharif also noted that due to the hard work of both the engineering and QA teams, the project embraced a seamless transition from Unreal Engine version 4.25 to 4.26.
Sharif stated that it was his and the team’s goal to put the word “massive” right back into the MMRPG genre, with the team having conducted a large level of stress testing to make sure that servers could handle a large player base.
In the closing statement of the update, Sharif told players that they can expect Alpha One sales to return sometime in May 2021, with more information yet to be reviled on their website at the end of April 2021. However, Sharif emphasized to players that they should not treat participating in the Alpha One tests as playing a game, more so it should be treated as helping to test a work in progress.
