Publisher Kalypso Media and developer Realmforge Studios have announced the official closed beta dates for their upcoming dungeon management sim Dungeons 4. Dungeons 4 is the next title in the popular dungeon builder series, and it is slated for release in 2023. The closed beta for Dungeons 4 is slated to run at the end of this month and will allow players to experience a small chunk of the game before it comes out.
The closed beta for Dungeons 4 will take place on Microsoft Store and Steam from January 24, 2023, until February 7, 2023. This is a very decent window for closed beta and Kalypso Media is now accepting applications from fans who want to join in the fun. Players will be selected for the closed beta and then they will be sent their keys for either the Steam version or the MS Store version of the game. The closed beta will allow players to join Absolute Evil as they try to destroy the overworld and get rid of the do-gooders.
Dungeons 4 will feature a full single-player campaign along with larger maps and even more corrupt creatures this time around. All players who get selected for the closed beta will also get invited to the exclusive closed Discord server where they will be able to share their feedback directly with the developer of the game. Applications for the closed beta will be closed on January 15, 2023, so if you want to participate in it, you should hurry and apply right now.
Dungeons 4 brings back Absolute Evil to life alongside Thalya the dark elf sorcerer who is continuing their task of spreading chaos and destruction in the world. A new race Dwarves is also part of the new game as you will control despicable creatures in even larger dungeons this time around. You will raise an army of zombies, succubae, orcs, and other evil creatures and then create your very own dungeons. Once done, you will need to push back everyone including the Dwarves to complete the 20-mission campaign or ante up the challenge in co-op.
Key features of Dungeons 4 include:
- Everything is better with Dwarves: The Dwarves have arrived to build their underground strongholds and the hardy little fellows (although they don’t like being called that) compete with the Ever-Expanding Evil for space and resources.
- It makes your Dungeon great again: Dungeons are up to four times larger than before and there are many more creatures who wait for the All-Commanding Evil’s orders to conquer the Overworld. Now the time has come for massive armies and truly sprawling dungeons!
- Ripe for the taking: The Overworld is bigger than ever before. Gain Evilness by beating Mini Bosses like the obsessively harmonious Unicorn and use it to transform the Overworld into stunning biomes of pure evil.
- New and shiny: An ability-based Perk system for Thalya, the Absolute Evil’s trusted *cough* and most loyal subordinate, grants her impressive new powers. The Absolute Evil can now enjoy taking over the world, governing the creatures and slapping subordinates even more with the customizable Evil Hand.
- Minions, everywhere: The Horde, the Undead and the Demons wait to do the Absolute Evil’s bidding, with more creatures than ever eagerly following the gesturing Evil’s orders, and Snots will play a much more prominent role this time.
- Many ways to tell the story: A long campaign, narrated by the beloved English Narrator from previous titles, as well as several skirmish maps all to challenge your rule as the Absolute Evil.
- Change the world: Spread your Evilness across the Overworld to bring lush and green environments over to the dark side, now shining even more vibrantly and beautifully evil as you spread your evilness across many new biomes.
- Work together, slay together: 2-player co-op multiplayer with both players managing one Dungeon together. All skirmish maps and the campaign are playable in co-op.
Dungeons 4 is slated for release in 2023 however a confirmed release date is not known at this point. The game will release on PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, and PS5 when it comes out. A Steam page is now live for the game, and you can head over there to add the game to your wishlist right now.
