33 Immortals: Explore New Features in the Fourth Playtest Starting May 20

Alright, so here’s the deal. 33 Immortals has popped back up for Xbox Insiders, and guess what? They’re kicking off a fourth playtest starting Tuesday, May 20. Jot that down—8am PT, if you’re keeping track. Runs for six days till Monday, May 26, same bat time. Oh, and exciting news: it’s hitting Xbox One for the first time. Thunder Lotus, the brains behind it all, they’re buzzing for folks to dive into this and spill the beans on what they think. But hey, spots are tight, so get in gear by May 20th if you don’t wanna miss the 33-player co-op action-roguelike madness. Seriously, who thinks of these combos?

Now, let me backtrack a sec—here’s the scoop: you’re a damned soul (like, who isn’t these days?) sticking it to God’s final judgment. Sounds heavy, right? Jump into these wild 33-player co-op battles. Instant matchmaking, because who’s got the time to wait? Team up with your pals to dodge a swarm of monsters and these colossal bosses that just scream “don’t mess with me.” Gather up some cool relics, beef up your soul, and brace yourself to take on the Almighty’s wrath. Eternal life? Sign me up. If this is your jam, pop over to the 33 Immortals Website, they’ll tell you more. Or not, up to you.

Okay, updates and fixes—gotta love those, right? Now they’ve added control rebinding, because, apparently, not everyone’s thumbs agree with default settings. Oh, and apparently, the Sword of Justice, Staff of Sloth (what even?), Bow of Hope, and the Daggers of Greed weren’t playing fair, so they balanced them out. Some Feats were causing hiccups, so those got a tune-up too. Wanna get nitty-gritty with the updates? There’s a big ol’ patch notes list somewhere.

Mark it: May 20th to 26th is when the magic happens. Oh, wait—how to dive in? Easy peasy, just log into your Xbox or Windows with the Xbox Insider Hub app. No app? Hit up the Store. Previews > 33 Immortals > Hit that Join button. Patience, my friend, let it register, then go grab the beta. Remember, seats are limited, first-come, first-served. And finally they’ve got it on Xbox One too. Took ‘em long enough.

Now say things go sideways while you’re in the 33 Immortals Beta—don’t panic, be part of the solution. Hold that home button, slap “Report a problem.” Pick the Games category, under it 33 Immortals Beta, fill out the details. I mean, they’re not mind readers.

Wrapping it up, for more randomness, follow them on X/Twitter at @XboxInsider or poke around their blog. And hey, mingle with the Xbox Insider crew over on SubReddit. Community and all that jazz. Catch you on the flipside.
