En Masse EntertainmentTM announced today that its award-winning, PC-based action MMO title, TERA, is now available for pre-order from the company's website and retailers throughout North America for $49.99. Players who pre-order TERA will have access to all of the game's Closed Beta Tests, scheduled to take place from February through April, as well as an exclusive Head Start play period over the weekend prior to the game's launch on May 1st.
"By breaking away from yesterday's repetitive combat systems, and delivering real action, TERA is going to keep players on their toes and actively engaged in the game," said Chris Lee, Vice President of Publishing at En Masse Entertainment. "The days of staring at your skill bar while pounding the Tab key are over. By requiring players to actively aim, dodge, and block, TERA's action combat introduces real skill to MMO gameplay."
En Masse Entertainment will be releasing two collector's editions of TERA-a traditional boxed edition and a digital download. Both will grant players unique in-game items, including the Regal Frostlion Mount for in-game mounted travel, and two equippable items: the level 15 Velik's Bloodstone Necklace and the level 40 Shakan's Bloodstone Necklace.
Available in limited quantities, the physical Limited Collector's Edition will include collectable items such as a Letter of Marque, a canvas world map, a field guide, a Valkyon Federation-issued compass, and a game soundtrack, for $79.99. The Digital Collector's Edition will be offered for $59.99. Both versions include 30 days of game time.
En Masse Entertainment will be hosting five Closed Beta Tests for TERA, allowing select gamers the opportunity to get into the game and preview its blend of action-heavy combat and traditional MMO depth.
