It's been quite a while since the LittleBigPlanet developer Media Molecule (Mm) unveiled its forthcoming sandbox video game, Dreams, with fans of the company having waited with bated breath for the announcement of the title's official release date. While the game's full launch still looks to be a ways off at the moment, Mm has decided to offer players the chance to give it a go early by revealing its beta dates.
According to an announcement made by Media Molecule's developers during a live stream today, the Creator Beta for Dreams officially begins tomorrow on Wednesday, December 19, 2018. However, it looks as if it will initially be on an invite only basis to those who have already been subscribed to the company's newsletter before December 7, 2018. This is mostly due to the fact that Mm will be running a skeleton crew over the holidays and don't want to crash the servers with a flood of users playing the beta all at once.
Those who aren't initially selected for the beginning period of Dreams' Creator Beta shouldn't worry, though, as the general public will be able to sign up for access to it near the end of the first week of the new year. To be more specific, Media Molecule explained that general beta access signups should become available approximately around January 4, 2019, with beta invites going out in waves during the week of January 8, 2019.
What's more is that the Dreams beta will officially run through to January 21, 2019 so as to give players enough of a window to test out all of the creator tools available and offer ample time to provide feedback to Media Molecule. It's also important to note that the beta will be covered by a Non-Disclosure Agreement, which will be fully explained in the invite emails sent out to users.
All things considered, there's no doubt that gamers looking forward to Dreams will be excited to learn about the potential of getting to try out the game and its creation tools early, for as previously inferred, it has been a long while since Media Molecule have put out a totally new product. The company's last title, Tearaway Unfolded, came out for PS4 in 2015, so here's to hoping that the studio's last few years of work being put into Dreams has made it as dreamy as it can possibly be.
Dreams is currently scheduled to release for the PlayStation 4 at some point in 2019.
