Wakfu has captured more than a few eyes of late, and for understandable reason. The game features distinctive and detailed sprite graphics, a tactical battle system, and a world that reacts to your actions. Details have just been released on the game's explosive and underhanded Rogue class, specializing in disrupting enemies with a variety of elemental bomb spells while avoiding damage with quick movement.
Unfortunately for players looking forward to the game's beta, it might be a bit further away than it seemed, at least in North America. The international open beta was previously announced to be starting on April 27th, but word has been released that details on open beta in North America will be announced on a later date. While the game is set for a worldwide simultaneous release, if you're here in the US, you might have to wait just a little longer to get your Wakfu on. Fortunately, some brand-new screenshots -- including a couple of roguish ones -- should help ease the pain a little.

Laaaame. I'm so impatient to play all these new MMOs. I registered for this one a few days ago, it looks nice.

This might be a good game, but in my limited experience with it, it's going to be a case of those in NA being second class citizens.
You see that a lot in the case of games from Asia, the NA or international versions are always nerfed compared to the originals, and there is no feedback from that audience to the original developers.

At least NA gets the games; as far as I know the EU still hasn't had DF:O or Vindictus. ANd yes, Ankama is a French outfit.

From Asia? Ankama Studio (the developer) is a French company. Square Enix is simply the selected publishing partner.
