Inflexion Games has just revealed that a server stress test for its debut project, the shared world survival crafting game Nightingale, will take place in early 2024.
This is separate from the previous early tests conducted by Inflexion. In this case, the developer plans to take advantage of Steam's built-in playtesting feature: all fans need to do is go to the store page and press the request access button.
More information on the Nightingale server stress test, including the precise dates and times, will be confirmed in January. Inflexion's goal is to gather as much information as possible ahead of the early access launch scheduled for February 22, 2024.
What to Expect:
There are no bad outcomes to this test. Whether it's all smooth connections or the servers catch fire, the team will gain valuable information to prepare for the Early Access launch in February.
We hope that all participants can connect to the Realms and enjoy the first couple of hours of the game without interruption. However, it may be that all or some participants might experience longer than usual connection times or may not be able to connect at all. Whatever happens, we'll be with you the whole way, communicating through the Official Discord.
