The upcoming free-to-play MMORPG, City of Steam, is quickly approaching it's open beta phase. In order to set the stage for open beta, R2 Games is launching an early access beta which begins on May 10th.

For this phase, you will need a beta key in order to participate. All Newsletter subscribers, Collaborators, or anyone who participated in either the Alpha, Sneak-Peak, or Closed Beta phases will be guaranteed a key.

Classes available for this beta phase include the Gunner, Arcanist, and Warden while the playable races included are the Heartlanders, Stoigmari, Avens, and the Ostenians.

The City of Steam Developers seem to want to do some focus testing for these specific races and classes, but have stated that additional races and classes will become available as the beta phase progresses.

While very few specifics have been revealed about the systems we can expect to see in this stage, the news post does say that they have lots of fresh content in the works including a new skill/talent system, a new crafting system, way more cosmetics and side-content, improved dungeons and event systems and more!

So be sure to keep on the lookout for more City of Steam beta-specific information in the weeks to come.
