Post-Apocalyptic Aquatic MMO Age Of Water Launches Into Paid Early Access

Age of Water, an aquatic MMO from Gaijin Entertainment’s Three Wales Studio, has just entered the second stage of its closed beta test. While the studio is calling it an early access launch, it’s technically another closed beta test, the first of which was held around the same time last year.

“Age of Water is the story of a motorboat captain, who explores the expanse of a completely flooded Earth of the future. People are huddled in settlements built on what remains above water – like the tops of skyscrapers,” the team reveals. “The Captain excavates artifacts of a lost civilization from the bottom of the sea, fights pirates, earns money by trading goods, completes story missions and challenges other players in PvP battles and goes on missions with friends. The resources gained can be used to modify the boat or buy a brand new hull, as well as build your own hideout.”

To get immediate access to the closed beta, all you have to do is purchase an early access pack, or you can sign-up on the official website for a chance to receive a free invite. Those who manage to get in can expect a plethora of new content, including the addition of caravan attacks. Don’t get too invested in your characters though as the team could potentially wipe the servers prior to the game’s actual release.

“In the event of progress wipeout at game release, all Early Access Pack owners will start with exactly the same amount of currency,” said the devs.
