Jumpgate beta signs 250,000 people

By Robert Purchese Published 22 July, 2009

Codemasters' most popular MMO so far.

Codemasters Online has announced that Jumpgate Evolution has reached 250,000 beta sign-ups across Europe and North America.

That figure makes the spaceship MMO beta the biggest Codemasters Online has had yet.

The MMO was originally down for release last year before moving to - and missing - a June 2009 date.

Jumpgate: Evolution is currently undergoing closed "family and friend" testing, and open beta - when those 250,000 people get a chance to play - will begin "later this year".

Our on-going coverage is squashed into our Jumpgate: Evolution gamepage, and lead by recent hands-on impressions from May.

    Yeah, was quite excited about this; dragged on a little long now though TBH.
    Start taking signups for a beta early enough and you're bound to get a few.

    Imagine how many signups Duke Nukem Forever would have had if it had started taking signups back in the 70's!

    Come on Netdevil, let us in please :D

    What the guy above said

  • DanForinton #3 3 years ago

    Came across the original email confirming my signup for the beta earlier - dated May 2008...
    And I was not quick off the mark with that either - anyone remember exactly when they started accepting signups?

    I'm really looking forward to this game, but at least it looks like Champions Online should be out in time to tie me over until the Jumpgate release (and obviously I'll be playing both if they, hopefully, turn out great).

  • BritishBlue1 #5 3 years ago

    I would love to see a game like this on the consoles, anyone remember Colony Wars?

  • Gl3n #6 3 years ago

    Hope it turns out well

  • ZuluHero #7 3 years ago

    Feels like i've been signed up forever for this. Still, lots coming out in the meantime...
