Browser RPG Therian Saga now in English open beta
Browser-based RPG Therian Saga is available now in English. Developed by Quebec-based studio Virtys, the game has been building an audience of 50,000 French-speaking players for about a year, but is ready to explore the English lands for vous.
"The focus of our open beta will be to gather as much final feedback from English-speaking players as we can to ensure a smooth and enjoyable launch, which is scheduled for the near future," said Therian Saga Lead Designer François Desrosiers.
We've slowly seen an interesting transition in the browser space with games like last year's Card Hunter. You can sign up now for the game at TherianSaga.com.
