Gala Networks Europe has announced that the closed beta test of Dragonica, a MMO which puts the 3D side-scrolling action into an online format, will start in mid-May. During the ten day of the closed beta test, the Dragonica team will be on hand to welcome players into the world and run a whole schedule of in-game events to keep players entertained. There will be lots of in-game prizes up for grabs, and the players will have the opportunity to ensure that their character names are kept for the open beta, following a few weeks after the closed beta in June. Several new renders and screenshots have been inserted in our gallery.
