Pawprint Studios opens second testing phase for high-demand title

Pawprint Studios is releasing this new testing phase for its upcoming title. The studio previously ran a closed beta from January 23, 2026, to February 8, 2026, which allowed early users to test core mechanics. This second beta builds on that initial data while opening the door to a much larger audience.

Sign-ups for the new closed beta are open until July 5. The testing begins in China Standard Time (UTC+8), which means participants in other time zones might gain access as early as July 8. The exact start time for the beta has not been confirmed by the studio yet. No end date has been shared ahead of the start of the closed beta.

The game has accumulated over 15 million pre-registrations across its platforms. This number reflects the significant interest generated since the first beta concluded in February. The current beta period will run until further notice, with the studio likely to announce an end date closer to the conclusion of testing.
