January 17th 2002: Wolfpack Studios and ubi.com are pleased to announce that the official North American closed beta test has commenced for the eagerly anticipated fantasy-based Massively Multiplayer Online Game (MMO) Shadowbane. Over two years of game development, internal testing and design work by Wolfpack Studios has culminated in the release of this closed beta test.

“We are very excited that Shadowbane has reached this key milestone, and we are looking forward to seeing how the world of Aerynth and the community evolve during the closed beta period,” said Jason Rubinstein, General Manager of ubi.com. “This test will help us further shape and define this great project with Wolfpack Studios and lead the way to commercial release.”
