Dual Universe Rolls Out Free Demo And Prepares For It’s Pre-Launch Server Wipe
It’s all hands on deck over at a Novaquark as the studio prepares for the official launch of its early access space sandbox MMO, Dual Universe. If you want to try out the game before shelling out money for a subscription, there’s a free demo that’s now available for download on Steam.
The free demo will be permanently available from here on end but will be hosted on a separate server from the live game. The demo server will be an exact copy of the live one but will have both progression and gameplay accelerated. Items from the marketplace can also be purchased at cheaper prices to allow players to get their hands on them much faster.
The demo server will also offer unimpeded access to all of the live server’s contents but you’ll still have to put in the work and earn money to buy the items and resources you’ll need to explore and experience all of the available gameplay systems and mechanics. The server will also be wiped and reset from time to time but players will be given a weeks’ notice before Novaquark flips the switch. There’s currently no set schedule given for the reset so you can take your sweet time exploring every nook and cranny of the galaxy.
Speaking of server wipes, the live server will also be wiped prior to the game’s full release. The servers are scheduled to go down on September 22nd and will be coming back online on launch day, September 27th.
