This post recaps who the team wanted: 50-200 testers with consistent hours, honest feedback and clear bug reports, with mobile players especially welcome. Watch the official Discord for the next window.' --- Developer **xDecxy** has opened applications for the **last QA testing wave before Beyond Nen launches** - the clearest signal yet that the game is close to release. This post tracks the announcement: who the team wants, how to apply, and what it means for launch timing. The application window for this QA wave has closed and the form is no longer accepting responses. Watch the [official Discord](https://discord.gg/beyondnen) for when testing opens and for launch news - this page will be updated as soon as anything is announced. ## What was announced - The team is recruiting **50-200 testers** for a fresh round of QA, explicitly to get **new perspectives** on the game. - Since closing Early Access, the team has been rebuilding **progression systems** and the **new-player introduction**, and applying feedback from earlier test waves. - The goal is not only to find bugs: the team wants to know what feels good, what feels confusing, and which existing systems are worth building on. - **Mobile players are specifically wanted** - the announcement says the team would like to recruit as many as possible. ## What the team is looking for The announcement is blunt about the bar, and it is not a "play early for free" wave: - **Consistent time** dedicated to testing changes and checking that fixes actually work. - **Detailed, honest feedback** on what feels good, what is confusing, and what needs improvement. - **Clear bug reports**, including what happened and how to reproduce it where possible. - **Thought-out suggestions**, with an explanation of why the change would improve the player experience. ## How to apply - Application form: [Beyond Nen QA Tester Application (Google Form)](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdxOVMNcMv9QhwmduZk951GINPUTVkIKZn19TbAKUVuJ1mHjQ/viewform) - **Applications close Wednesday, October 14 at 6 PM ET** (early morning, October 15 in Beijing time). - The form asks for your Roblox username, Discord ID, time zone and platform. - The team asks applicants **not to share or discuss the questions in public chats** - doing so can get an application rejected outright. If the form has already closed by the time you read this, the window is over: watch the [official Discord](https://discord.gg/beyondnen) for the test window and the launch date announcement. ## What it means for launch The team calls this **the last step before launch**, but that is not a confirmed release date: Beyond Nen's date has slipped more than once and no new date has been announced, so treat launch timing as **TBA until the developer says otherwise**. For the full picture of the October 7 shutdown and what the rework covers, see [EA closed: rework status](/updates/ea-closed-rework-status/). Our [full game overview](/guides/what-is-beyond-nen/) keeps every confirmed feature in one place, the [beginner guides](/guides/) cover what to do first, and the [codes page](/codes/all-codes/) will fill up on day one. ## Sources - Official Beyond Nen Discord announcement (developer xDecxy), October 2026. - QA tester application form (link above), checked while the application window was open.
