Konami has now issued a new start date for the European Metal Gear Online beta after revealing yesterday it had suspended the test.
That new date is this Saturday - well, April 25 PDT, which is 8am on April 26 here - although the company says that this "may change due to unforeseen circumstances".
Yesterday Konami slammed the brakes on the beta. According to the company, the massive interest in the beta and subsequent massive global traffic following the green light for the test had meant it'd been unable to run the service to the level it expected.
"As a temporary measure, we will be deferring the European public beta test and start it once we stabilize our server. We would like to apologize for all inconveniences as well as confusion caused", a new statement on the official MGO website reads.
The beta will now close on May 11, rather than the original May 5.
