Fiesta Online

Hamburg September 11th 2008 -Leading European MMOG publisher gamigo AG is happy to announce the start of the Fiesta Online closed beta test for Europe. After the successful launch of the German version in July, now a brand-new English version for European players enters the testing period. Everyone who signs up at http://fiesta.gamigo.com/ has the chance to get hold of one of the limited beta slots. Those will be assigned on a first come, first serve basis.

Adventures for young and old alike

From the very first second, Fiesta Online offers a wonderful gaming experience in a colourful, living fantasy world, beautiful cell-shaded characters and various enemies. Beyond that, a huge community waits to meet new players and approach big adventures with them. No matter if the player is looking for fame and wealth, the most powerful weapon of the country or just for new friends, in Fiesta he can achieve all these goals with his hero.

The in Asia and the US already very successful game is not only accessible for new players, but offers exciting challenges for veterans as well. The epic “Kingdom Quests” are a real highlight, in which groups of up to 15 players fight side by side to reach a common goal.
