Rise of Immortals Closed Beta Update

Steve Wetherill, Producer of Rise of Immortals over at Petroglyph has dropped a new letter about the game in which he gives us a glimpse of the direction it will be going in. He also reported on the state of the closed beta.

The beta testers are helping us balance the current Immortals, play matches on all the available maps up to 5v5 players, socialize in the hub, try out the just-released persistence features, and more!

 We have three more Immortals being added to the closed beta next week that we’ll share with the public soon after, not to mention Ichorr soon after that you saw recently. We have Immortals that spawn poisonous pets, shoot lightning from their spider-like fingers, know martial arts, and like Pyschozen, can bend your mind into a pretzel of confusion...

We feel that Rise of Immortals is coming onto the stage with more than your average MOBA has to offer. There’s all the unique competitive features mentioned above, and more we’re working on. And I’m not even getting into all the community requests your community manager, Mathew "Berek" Anderson, has listed for the designers.

The game has sparked a small bit of controversy with many stating that it’s a direct rip-off of League of Legends and Heroes of NewErth. you can decide for yourself.
