Technical Test Announcement

Hello, Survivors!
We want to express our deepest gratitude for the incredible support and enthusiasm you’ve shown since the beginning of this year. Thanks to your encouragement, we’ve been able to focus on development over the past few months, and we are excited to announce that the technical test for TheMidnightWalkers will begin on Wed, 21 Aug, 2024, at 23:00(PDT).



The primary purpose of this technical test is to evaluate the stability of our significantly revised server structure, conduct stress tests on various development aspects, and monitor the overall gameplay experience. Please note that since the development is still ongoing, there may be occasional errors or server frame drops during the test.
