Nintendo is bringing back its mysterious ‘Online Playtest Program’ from last year, which saw approved Switch users trying out an unnamed MMO-style game.
“We will perform another test in the # Nintendo Switch [5,406 articles]” href=”https://www.videogameschronicle.com/platforms/nintendo/switch/”>Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack members can apply to participate on a first-come, first-served basis.”
Applications are now open for the second test, which Nintendo describes as “the same service for which we performed a test in October of 2024” and will be available on both Nintendo Switch and images and details inevitably leaked online. Leaked images of the test showed what appeared to be an MMO of sorts, in which players worked together “to fully develop a massive, expansive planet by utilising creativity and farmed resources”.
“As you progress across the planet, you’ll discover new lands, enemies and resources that will become essential to your journey,” it reads.
This is what the select public test is for on Wed. No, I’m not in it. This is the new info learned just now from the app itself. Which launches but can’t be played yet.
Looks like a Nintendo MMO. This is crazy! pic.twitter.com/jnWE7j0VCe
