Dungeons 4 is giving players a chance to test things out early, with a closed beta later this month

Realmforge Studios and publisher Kalypso Media have announced that Dungeons 4, the upcoming entry in the long running series, will be running a closed beta will run on the Microsoft Store and Steam from the 24th of January to the 7th of February.

A select number of lucky players will join the Absolute Evil, where they will have an exclusive first look at what it takes to destroy the overworld and be rid of those pesky do-gooders. Including a complete single-player campaign, fans of the franchise can get their hands on the game's newest features, including larger maps and even more corrupt creatures.

In Dungeons 4, the Absolute Evil’s quest is not yet complete and with Thalya the dark elf sorcerer still by his side, it's time to continue spreading chaos and destruction – this time with Dwarves. In this impending new addition to the popular dungeon management series, players can control even more despicable creatures in even larger dungeons. Raise a devious army of orcs, succubae, zombies and other cruel creatures, all ready to cast corruption across the overworld. Then set your Snots to work on creating your very own sprawling underground dungeon network - just be prepared to compete with the invading Dwarves who have arrived to claim their share of space and supplies. Take on the 20-mission long, fully narrated campaign, or use two-player co-op multiplayer to double the destruction and manage your dungeon with a fellow evil friend. Did we mention the Dwarves?

As for when the full game will release and where, well its aiming for later in 2023 for PC, Xbox and PlayStation, but nothing firmer than that has been announced.
