Over the past several days, John Smedley’s Distinct Possibility Studios has talked up the start of paid alpha for Reaper Actualthe in-development extraction MMOFPS that drops players into the fictional island of Marova to fight against hundreds of NPC enemies and other players – while also being linked to the blockchain. For a while there, we weren’t familiar with just how much access to this alpha would cost, just that it would cost money and would be provided in limited quantities.
At last, on the very early horizon of this paid alpha, the studio has fully unveiled those prices and updated on the game’s site accordingly: The first batch of these alpha bundles, aka Foundation Alpha Series 1 bundles, are priced at $30 for the standard edition, $50 for the Charon’s Pact edition, and $75 for the Stygian Oath edition. As reported previously, each bundle will have a different number of characters and base unlocks, with the higher priced versions obviously granting more; the Stygian Oath bundle provides access to a guild-sized warehouse base, for example.
These bundles went on sale at noon EDT, so they should be available for purchase by the time you read this, assuming they haven’t been sold out by now, anyway. As for the alpha itself, it’s online for some time-limited testingrunning in twelve hour-long stints on October 8th and October 9th at 12:00 p.m. EDT, while the latest patch notes can be read here.
