As we dive deeper into 2025, the gaming world is buzzing with exciting launches, and one of the most anticipated is Glohow's Black Beacon. This upcoming anime-inspired RPG, developed by Mingzhou Network Technology, has just kicked off its global open beta, promising a unique dive into the realm of subculture.
From January 8th to January 17th, players worldwide—excluding those in China, Japan, and Korea—can immerse themselves in Black Beacon's launch build. This open beta phase offers a plethora of core features and engaging in-game events, giving everyone a taste of what's to come.
But there's more! Participants who engage and provide feedback during the beta will unlock exclusive rewards. Just by showing up, you can claim special items, and with Push Rewards, checking in regularly throughout the testing period could net you even more goodies.
While I'm often cautious about games claiming to be inspired by something as fluid as subculture, Black Beacon's visuals are undeniably appealing. Though it's hard to pinpoint what makes it truly distinctive, that's not to detract from its potential fun factor. If you're curious, you'll have to jump in and see for yourself!
To get started, you can refer to Black Beacon's official GBT guidebook, which provides detailed instructions on how to sign up and play on either iOS or Android.
If Black Beacon doesn't catch your fancy, don't worry—2025 is already shaping up to be a stellar year for new game releases. Be sure to check out our list of the best mobile games of the year to explore more options!
