Look, if you have been waiting for something a bit different, the PC MMORPG BE@RBRICK HEROES is finally kicking off its open beta test on March 18th at 15:00. It is a curious title built entirely around the famous Japanese art toy brand, BE@RBRICK.

For the uninitiated, BE@RBRICK is something of a titan in the global collector’s scene, having cemented its status as a cultural icon through endless high-profile collaborations. BE@RBRICK HEROES marks the very first official PC MMORPG to attempt to weave that distinct aesthetic and world-building into a playable experience.

The narrative unfolds in a rather grim post-apocalyptic setting. You will find yourself navigating this desolate world as a BE@RBRICK character, embarking on a journey to restore balance through a mix of combat and character progression.

You have the freedom to play as various BE@RBRICK characters, each offering a distinct flavour of gameplay depending on their looks and how you decide to nurture their stats. The game packs in all the usual trimmings: field grinding, solo dungeons, elite mobs, regional bosses, and a gear enhancement system to keep you busy.

Fancy a look? You can jump into the open beta via their official website. They are also dangling a carrot in the form of a prize pool worth approximately 16,000,000 won for participants. Best of luck, mate.
