Cinder City Alpha Test Preview Details December Playtest with Larger Map and Combat Fixes
The Alpha Test Preview for Cinder City has arrived, with key members of the BigFire Games development team discussing feedback from the Pre-Alpha and what has changed for the upcoming Alpha Test.
The Closed Alpha Test II runs December 4–6, 2026, on PC via Steam, with sign-ups open through November 30 across North America, Europe, and Asia. The playable map grows from 1.2 x 1.2 kilometers to 2.4 x 2.4 kilometers, covering the Yeoksam, Seonjeongneung, and Nonhyeon districts with over three times as many side missions and a new field boss called the Rampage Mech. Two new squad dungeons join the rotation, Yeoksam Grand Building and Chamber Zero, with new checkpoints so squads can resume progress. The story continues into Chapter 3.
Cinder City is an MMO tactical shooter from NCSOFT's BigFire Games, set in a post-apocalyptic Seoul. It is in development for PC and consoles.
