One month after Beta signups opened, Silverlode Interactive is choosing a small group of players to be the first to set sail in the fantasy realm of DarkTide. Five hundred lucky players will receive notification emails with their login information. Players signing up are not being asked to sign an NDA; a flurry of information is expected to flood the DarkTide forums at http://www.playdarktide.com/forum/. Acceptance into Beta is not required to read or post on these forums.

Silverlode Interactive has been releasing exclusive sneak peeks of game content on the Captains of DarkTide Facebook page. The videos posted have shown that CoDT is not your daddy’s pirate game. With units such as the Lightning Elemental and Daemon, CoDT takes players into a fantasy realm where pirates are the least of the dangers.

To celebrate this milestone, for the next two weeks, any player who signs up for a Captains of DarkTide beta account at www.playdarktide.com will also receive a free SAGA account with bonus units and a rare Ice Drake. SAGA is a fully persistent MMORTS putting players in control of their own kingdom, with over 150 units and spells to collect, dozens of buildings to construct and thousands of items to loot.
