The Blacklight: Retribution Closed Beta is almost here. For everything you need to know, read on! We are announcing the first two phases of closed beta, more information on following phases will come soon.
Phase 1 will begin on Thursday October 27th at 2PM Pacific Time (GMT -8) and end on October 30th at 7PM. The goal for this initial phase is to test our server architecture, so restarts should be expected (but hopefully minimal). Players that are registered will be selected for this test and receive an email with instructions the week of the test. If you haven’t registered, simply go here to register.

Note: Not all players can be let into each phase. We want to open the flood gates slowly, so we can monitor and fix any issues that arise. But with each coming phase, we will let more players in.
On October 30th at 7PM Pacific Phase 1 will conclude and the servers will shut down.
Phase 2 will begin on Thursday November 10th at 2PM Pacific. In order to ensure stability however, we will follow the same process of letting in people in small amounts. So keep checking your email to see if you have received access.
On Sunday November 13th at 7PM Pacific the servers will shut down, ending Phase 2.
