Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon - Closed Alpha Test Announced

Awakened Realms' Arthurian open world RPG Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon is scheduled to launch into early access on March 30, 2023. But ahead of that date, the game's developers intend to run a series of closed alpha tests, which you can now sign up for by completing this here survey.

The pre-early access version will offer a significant chunk of content but will be lacking in polish, voice-acting, and balance. But if that doesn't bother you and you don't mind helping the team zero in on whatever issues their game may have, you'll be able to get in on the action ahead of everyone else.

Here are some additional details, but be sure to check out the announcement itself for a heap of screenshots and animations:

Hello adventurers,

We have exciting news for you today. We decided to run an exclusive early access test and you may be one of the players who get the opportunity to check the game out before everyone else!

As Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon nears its early access launch, we’d love to show some of the players what the game offers. This is not only a chance for you to be the first to set foot on the island of Avalon, but also a prime chance for us to gather valuable feedback.

We would be really extremely grateful for your help!

Please note that this version, while offering a significant amount of content, will be far from its final polish. For example:
  • The voice-over will not be present for the majority of NPCs.
  • The balance will be inconsistent.
  • The visuals will lack some polish.
  • There will be bugs, some possibly game breaking, scattered throughout the game.
  • Some quests may be broken or missing.
  • Some systems may not function correctly, such as crafting.
Okay, now that all the negatives are out of the way, check out some of the exciting things we are preparing! Take a look at the world of Avalon!

100 players will be selected based on a simple survey (link provided below) and will be given access to the game.

Using this feedback, we will strive to improve the game even further before its early access launch.

To apply for participation in the testing, please complete the questionnaire linked below. As this is an exclusive opportunity for pre-launch access, you must also agree to withhold any information about the game by signing a simple non-disclosure agreement. This is crucial to us, as we do not want any information about the game to be leaked prior to its launch. We want everyone to have an enjoyable journey without being spoiled beforehand.
