Atlus Online today began allowing registration for the Pandora Saga Closed Beta, allowing fans to sign up for the upcoming free-to-play MMORPG slated to release in early 2011.  Pandora Saga boasts battles of breathtaking scope--up to 600 players may simultaneously engage in weekly realm-versus-realm combat to extend their nation’s influence.  With an emphasis on fast-paced, strategy-laced real-time battles, Pandora Saga aims to set a new standard for free-to-play massively online roleplaying experiences.

"Despite the oxymoronic nature of ’opening’ registration for a closed beta, today’s announcement is an exciting development for Atlus Online fans," joked Producer Justin Guthrie of Atlus Online.  "We believe the development of a constantly involved, rewarded community constitutes the heart and core success of a massively online game.  The first step for Pandora Saga will be to make sure anyone curious to get a first glimpse of the game and become a part of shaping the final experience signs up for the December 16th start of the Closed Beta period."

Pandora Saga is slated to bring its exciting real-time combat and vast PvP wars to Atlus Online’s interactive portal in early 2011, joining the steampunk MMORPG Neo Steam: The Shattered Continent, one of the most engaging, community-driven options on the market.
