What happened
A combat-focused closed beta test for the upcoming action RPG TSURUGIHIME is scheduled to run from August 25 through September 6. This testing phase requires potential participants to complete a sign-up process via Discord to gain access to the battle-centric build. Development is spearheaded by the former creative producer and director of Fate/Grand Order.
Coverage from Gematsu, AUTOMATON, and Noisy Pixel notes that the test is designed specifically to isolate and evaluate the game's sword-action mechanics rather than its narrative or broader RPG systems. Shane the Gamer confirms the restrictive focus of the event. While the application window is active, coverage does not yet specify the total number of participants being accepted or the specific hardware platforms eligible for this beta.
Details regarding whether testers will be subject to non-disclosure agreements or if public streaming of the combat session will be permitted have not yet been established.
