KOG Games, the company best known for Elsword, announced today that closed beta registrations for KurtzPel are officially open. KurtzPel is a 3rd person anime inspired action MMORPG and is the spiritual successor to Grand Chase. No word on when exactly the game will be available to play, but Kog Games has promised to release additional information in the coming months and will eventually launch the game on Steam. The closed beta is set to launch on Steam on November 15th.

"We are excited to reveal that we will be bringing KurtzPel to Steam and we want players to communicate directly with us during the closed beta," said KOG Games CEO, Frank Kim. "We want the game to be exactly what gamers want, so we encourage players to give us as much feedback as possible to help us shape this game into one of the top action games on Steam."

So what's Kurtzpel all about? Much like Elsword and Grand Chase, much of the gameplay takes place in instanced dungeons.

In KurtzPel, classic action game dynamics are eminent when players outfit their characters with 2, separate trade/jobs, noted in the form of weapon paths (called Karma) that can be swapped out and utilized interchangeably during battle. Players can enjoy various, comprehensive 2v2 PvP Modes; queued up by a smart, automated match-making system. Or, players can embark upon a larger-than-life, raid style, quest-driven battle system against big, bad, boss monsters.
