Warborne Above Ashes, a new PvP-focused MMO by Pumpkin Studio, has announced a 30,000 player sign-up milestone for its current ongoing playtest, touting over 100 guilds joining from across the MMORPG spectrum as well.
A new nonstop PvP large-scale war sandbox MMO, Warborne is a “24/7 PvP MMO” that really leans into its PvP-first philosophy, with only 30 minutes of gameplay necessary before hopping into the fray. Instead of grinding, players are able to join a faction straight away as one of 40 playable characters in a massive war for resources and territory.
As a large-scale team war game with six joinable factions, it requires teams to coordinate for larger-scale, longer-term engagements. There are 100v100 engagements, mobile bases to help adapt on the fly, and dynamic weather that actually affects gameplay, and at the end of every “war” there’s a reset.
The ongoing playtest has only a limited number of playable factions, as well as other restrictions. However, per a Steam announcement, there’ll be a larger-scale one in April with all playable
The Steam page allows players to wishlist and request playtest access if they’re interested in current and further playtests, including the upcoming April one.
