Late last year MMO publisher and operator Outspark announced its latest MMORPG, Wind Slayer, and they've now announced the dates for a brief closed beta, open between January 7th and 14th.

The testing period is to "provide Outspark with valuable feedback that will be used to further refine the game before its wider release later this year."

Set on the continent of Beuritania, Wind Slayer is a 2D side-scrolling MMO that features six classes, character customization and player-versus-player modes. The title is to enter open beta in February.

“Outspark offers rides for every type of thrill seeker coming to play in our virtual playground,” stated Susan Choe, CEO and founder of Outspark. “Wind Slayer’s character customization and multiplayer options combined with its side scrolling style and simple controls make the game a perfect fit for all gamers wanting to enjoy a fun-filled crusade with friends they meet in the Outspark community.”
