Earlier this month, Nintendo shared plans to recruit Nintendo Switch Online subscribers for a mysterious playtest. The details were scant, but it didn’t stop thousands of players from applying for such a rare opportunity. Now, just a couple days ahead of when the playtest is set to begin, leakers have provided the public a peak at what’s in store for the lucky few who made it into the program.
On October 23, the approximately 10,000 players who made it into Nintendo’s so-called “Switch Online: Playtest Program” will allegedly play an MMO-type game developed by the game company. This mystery game is set on a digital planet divided into small cells that players can help craft, according to a leaked description of the game. There will also be a social hub where players can congregate, obtain in-game items and share user-generated content with others.
