Dual Universe open beta has launched. Although the beta is a bit rocky, as expected from an indy studio pushing it out earlier than it is probably ready for, it's still a compelling experience. There's a group of AIE in there building bases, industry and ships. AIE has a guild organization established with territory and facilities open to all guild members on the main planet of Alioth. If you have any questions be sure to check in with @catavarie or Max down in the #dual-universe channel in Discord.

The New World preview week just wrapped up. New World is looking extremely polished from a game engine perspective. A group of guild members have been in the preview beta for the past week exploring the lands and experiencing some of the latest views of the game before they shut down for an extended dev cycle targeting Spring of 2021 for release. Bhock may still have some of the many hours of streaming of the game available on his Twitch channel clips for a limited time. AIE will certainly be watching this game closely as development continues.

New World has concluded its 2 week preview, without NDA and open to all pre-orders. It was a good start, even if we're still more than 6 months from release, as Amazon decided to push back the release, refocusing a pure PvP game into a mostly PvE-centric game: end-game still does not exist, or dungeons, and PvE progression ends 2/3 of the way... but 6+ months should help fill all this, as the engine, crafting, housing, combat and mass-test have already been completed and tested. Preview was more smooth than many releases. And bonus: it's a Buy Once, Play Forever game, without monthly fees (and no microtransactions for now)...
