Kill3rCombo launches Elsword closed beta
It's officially closed beta time for Elsword, the manga-themed MMORPG from Kill3rCombo.

The closed beta period is going on right now and will run through Wednesday, March 30th.

Elsword also features skill specializations, which allow for various playstyles. Kill3rCombo hasn't graced us with an open beta or release date as of yet, but stay tuned for more updates as the closed beta period rolls on.
