The folks at Fallen Earth have have announced that their post upcoming post apocalyptic MMO has entered closed beta, wit a projected launch date some time in the second quarter of 2009.
CARY, N.C. – February 4, 2009 – Fallen Earth, LLC, developer of the self-titled post-Apocalyptic MMO Fallen Earth, is excited to announce that the game has now transitioned into closed beta testing. Interested testers can sign up for the opportunity to receive a closed beta key at www.fallenearth.com and join thousands of fellow Fallen Earth players each week as the online community expands to accommodate more closed beta testers.
“This is a critical milestone for our team and an opportunity to showcase updated content and features,” said Colin Dwan, project manager for Fallen Earth. “We are excited to see how players progress through all three sectors without any interference, and anxious to see where we can improve the overall experience.”
The Fallen Earth team has been working very hard to improve and polish all aspects of the game. Recent updates include the creation of a comprehensive user tutorial and continued enhancements to balance the in-game crafting system. With the move to closed beta, players will have the opportunity to piece together aspects of the storyline, play freely through all three sectors, and gain a better understanding of how the game will look and feel at launch. Closed beta testing also allows the development team to better observe overall game play, perform system stress tests, and ultimately perfect the Fallen Earth game experience.
Set in the Grand Canyon in 2156 after a lethal disease destroyed most of mankind, the game features a classless advancement system, six factions and a unique crafting feature in which players can make 95 percent of game items. With 70 towns, real-time settings and interesting character modifications, all taking place within a post-Apocalyptic plot, Fallen Earth provides the ultimate player experience.
Fallen Earth will be released in Q2 2009. An exact launch date is forthcoming.

I've had my eye on this one for some time. Thank you for the post, great information.
Good luck FE! You are gonna need it.
w00t!
Very Excited ... prays he will get a beta account.
alpha testing was buggy as hell i know closed beta shall rule. this game has so much potential its rediculous.
Yes this game looks interesting but you have to realise that it is still a level based game. I am not sure what new it is offering to the MMO market.
Is it really FPS style combat?
I very much doubt it.
It has TPS and FPS views, what you shoot at or swing at is what you hit.
Yes there are levels in the game but once you level up its your choice on what you want to skill up on. Levels don't matter like they do in most games. A lvl 10 could defeat a lvl 15 it just depends what each specialized in.
This game is going to be a breath of fresh air for people like me who want a more sandbox, skill based non fantasy game.
Sorry I should have been more clear.
I hope the combat is like a First Person Shooter style like PlanetSide.
The inclusion of levels reduces the sandbox possibilities as certain areas will contain PvE that is a higher level than you. Therefore it is not free style play.
Glad to see things happening. I'll defintely give FE a try, although I'm still unconvinced by the graphics.
Hm... cool
but how get CB Account?
Go to Fallenearth.com and the info is there
Very good news to read this morning.
Fallen earth sounds like a lot of fun and the devs really communicate their goals very well.
I hope they take all the time they need to finish the game.
