The publisher of the Russian version of the action MMORPG Bellatores, developed by the South Korean studio NYOU, Astrum Entertainment announces that the closed beta test of the game will take place in the second quarter of 2026. It was originally planned for earlier, but following the results of the first testing, it turned out that key game systems require further refinement.

“Player feedback helped us identify areas needing the most attention. We want Bellatores to feel cohesive, balanced, and dynamic,” the developers noted.

The main focus of the refinement will be on the combat system. The following changes are planned:

  • reduction of delays between animations and cooldown times;
  • improvement of the smoothness of transitions between weapon types;
  • redesign of effects, enemy reactions, and sound impacts;
  • balancing the arsenal in terms of attack speed, damage, and weapon characteristics;
  • testing the possibility of movement during attacks for greater freedom.

In addition to combat, the developers will update the economy and crafting in Bellatores: resources will appear more steadily, crafting will become more accessible, and created items will be more useful in the game. Special attention will be given to the story and interface: the team promises an expanded storyline and new quests, improved performance, and a more intuitive interface.

Despite the postponement of the closed beta test, the release of Bellatores in Russia is still planned for 2026. Players can apply to participate in the Russian closed beta testing on the official website of the project.
