Free Russian fantasy space massively multiplayer online game Allods Online will come out of beta and launch officially "very soon", Gala Networks said today.

The launch of the next expansion, Volume 4, goes live some time during the spring for all European servers. It adds two new zones and increases the level cap to 47.
