33 Immortals: Explore New Features in the Fourth Playtest Starting May 20

Sure, here we go:

So, there I was, sipping my coffee, when BAM! This news about 33 Immortals pops up. Xbox Insiders, listen up – starting Tuesday, May 20th, at 8 am PT (or 11 am if you’re on the East Coast) – there’s another playtest. Yeah, fourth one, can you believe? It’s like they’re constantly tweaking stuff, which, honestly, thank goodness. You’ve got six days to dive in before it wraps up on Monday, May 26th. Oh, and big news, you can now play on Xbox One. No idea why that stood out in my brain – maybe ‘cause I still have one collecting dust.

Now, what’s this game about, you ask? Imagine being a “damned soul” – like, who comes up with this stuff? – and rebelling against God’s final judgment. Casual, right? You team up with 32 other randoms, fighting off monster hordes and some terrifyingly huge bosses. Yeah, it’s chaotic but kind of thrilling. Your arsenal? It grows as you collect dope relics to beef up your soul. Talk about a ‘fight for life’ scenario with all that divine fury raining down.

Wanna dive deeper? Check them out on the 33 Immortals website. I mean, curiosity might just get you there.

Oh! Updates galore! Finally, we can rebind controls. Feeling heroic? The Sword of Justice, Staff of Sloth, and Bow of Hope have all had a makeover, thanks to player feedback. Never thought I’d be that excited about virtual weapons, but here we are. Some feats got fixed too – always good.

And then, some admin stuff – the playtest begins bright and early on the 20th. Set those reminders or you’ll forget, like I do with everything. If you’re scratching your head on how to jump in, it’s easy – pop on to your Xbox or PC, get into the Xbox Insider Hub. You’ll find the 33 Immortals preview. Join the fun, if there’s room. It’s like a digital festival, with limited passes.

Now, if the game glitches (and it will, because what doesn’t?), hit “Report a problem” – hold down that home button, and spill all the deets. Trust me, they wanna know.

Oh, by the way, keep up with all this jazz on X/Twitter. Yeah, it’s still called “X,” and maybe it’ll grow on me. Or not. Anyway, the Xbox Insider SubReddit’s also a place to chat, if you’re into that sort of thing.

Alright, time to get back to whatever I was doing. But, seriously – 33 players battling it out? It could be the wild distraction we all need right now. Or maybe not. Who knows?
