Epic's New Game Paragon Launches First Online Tests "Very Soon"

Shortly after debuting gameplay footage of it in action, the first online tests for Epic Games' newest title, Paragon, are set to begin "very soon."

The exact scope of these tests hasn't yet been revealed. That's true of both the number of players who can expect to get in and how much content will be included. Those who registered interest on the game's official website have begun receiving emails requesting that they complete a survey by the end of Thursday, December 10. The survey inquires about availability and playtime with games like Dota 2, League of Legends, Overwatch, Team Fortress 2, Call of Duty, and Battlefield.

Despite being announced over a month ago, it only became clear what kind of game Paragon ws this weekend at PlayStation Experience. It's a MOBA with a third-person camera, somewhat similar to Smite. It appears to distinguish itself from Smite by featuring a card/deck system and a more realistic visual style, as seen in the debut gameplay video above.

Paragon is slated for release on PS4 and PC, though it's unclear which of these platforms the upcoming test will take place on.
