Creators of the Cult Classic Tibia Announce New Beta Test of the Old-School Zombie MMORPG Persist Online

CipSoft — the German studio best known for Tibia — is rolling out another closed pre-alpha session for its PC project, Persist Online. The next playtest is scheduled to start next week, approx. June 29, 2026.

Want in? Sign-ups are simple: leave your email on the official game website. The team running this is pretty small: an in-house indie unit of roughly 20 ppl working in Unity and planning an early-access launch on Steam. There’s no NDA for these tests — players may stream or upload footage freely.
