This is the internet, so it was inevitable that details would slip out about an upcoming Nintendo Switch Online playtest shrouded in secrecy. That's apparently happened before the event even goes live. The program will reportedly see players checking out a brand-new MMO project from Nintendo that focuses on building and developing a planet with others.

Vooks.net reports that people selected for the Nintendo Switch Online playtest can now access a website with details about the upcoming experience, which will run from October 23 through November 5. The game sort of seems like a Minecraft MMO, in which players farm resources and build on a big shared planet.

Beacons reportedly seem like an important commodity. Once put down on the planet, only players who placed them can edit or build within that area. It's recommended that players stash their special items within their beacon zones. Outside of these areas, everyone can edit stuff and take on enemies.
