33 Immortals: Explore New Features in the Fourth Playtest Starting May 20

Oh man, so get this, “33 Immortals” is doing its thing again. Another playtest is kicking off for Xbox Insiders—might wanna jot this down—on Tuesday, May 20, crack of dawn, 8am PT (11am ET). They’re letting this thing run wild for 6 days, wrapping up Monday, May 26, same bat-time, same bat-channel. Here’s the kicker: it’s finally stretching its legs to Xbox One consoles. First time ever. Excitement is in the air—well, maybe just for the developers. Slots are scarce, so if you’re keen, mark that date and dive in. 33-player chaos? Yes, please.

Now, the game’s all kinds of intriguing. You’re, like, this doomed soul (cheery premise, right?) and you go toe-to-toe with God’s final verdict. Imagine 33 of you misfits in epic co-op smackdowns with instant matchmaking. Bam! Team up to fend off monster swarms and gargantuan bosses. Load up on shiny relics to beef up your soul permanently. And—prepare for it—the Wrath of God isn’t gonna wait. It’s do-or-die time.

Curious about more details? Their website is the go-to spot.

Some tinkering’s been done too. You can now rebind controls (hallelujah!). Bit of a balancing act has been performed on weapons—like the Sword of Justice and Staff of Sloth, thanks to player griping. Oh, and the Bow of Hope, along with those cheeky Daggers of Greed, are feeling the love too. Problematic Feats? Fixed. Sorta like a game facelift, but for weapons.

Wanna scope out the nitty-gritty updates? Full patch notes are waiting for your perusal.

Okay, playtest schedule reminder—and I keep forgetting—starts Tuesday, the 20th, at 8am PT (11am ET), wrapping Monday, the 26th, same time. You follow?

Here’s the golden info: To jump in, come Tuesday, strap in on your Xbox or PC, open up the Xbox Insider Hub (install it if you need to). Head over to Previews > 33 Immortals, hit “Join”, and away you go. The download should follow—as long as you snuck in early enough.

Don’t mind me, just scribbling a side note: Limited room, first-come, first-served. And oh yeah, Xbox One players can join, which is kinda neat.

Now, if things go sideways while you’re beta-ing, here’s your move: slam that home button on your controller. Hit up “Report a problem”, pick Games > 33 Immortals Beta, spill the details in the form. The Sherlocks of tech will take it from there.
