Hello Olokianer,

How are things going? You’ve probably seen it already: the countdown on the website is no longer showing days, but just hours until the Oloko Open Beta! The Open Beta is just around the corner! I’ve already been exploring Oloko with some members of the Oloko team and got a sneak peek at everything; I even took the opportunity to buy some new clothes so I’d look my best for the release—see for yourselves:



Oh, Marla... You’re already amazing just the way you are! A big hello from me, too. The closed beta recently wrapped up successfully. Now, the Oloko team is working flat out to get everything ready for the open beta—making sure nothing goes wrong on August 16th! The team has received quite a few questions across various platforms over the last few days, and Nico wants to answer them for you. Let’s get started!

So, feeling fresh? Then let's get started::
When exactly does the open beta start?

The open beta is scheduled for August 16 at 8 p.m. (20:00) German time.

Will all the quests, plants, and products from the original Oloko be available?

Yes, all quests and their plants & products will be available in the game in their original versions on the day of release.

Will there be new features?

The team is focused on using modern technology to restore Oloko to its former state, while also introducing numerous improvements to existing features. The Oloko Shop and the trading system, for example, got fresh designs and offer new features. Completely new features are also planned for the post-launch period—we look forward to sharing more details with you soon.

Will there be special events, or—like in the original Oloko—only the main quests?

There will be great events on Oloko where you can earn cool rewards. A major event is planned for shortly after the beta launch, so keep your eyes peeled! ;)

Are there any new rooms or characters?

A new room was completed a few months ago and is scheduled for release later this year. A brand-new character will arrive in Oloko shortly after the open beta launches. Keep your eyes peeled and follow our blog so you don't miss a thing.

Is the waiting time in Oloko still as long as in the original?

80% of the waiting times have been carried over from the original version, though some items now process faster. Also, keep in mind that you can trade items with other players at any time to progress more quickly.

Are there group competitions again, and who feeds Oloko the most?

Yes, of course! Starting on launch day, you can do your best to feed Oloko and win the week with your group. However, the group competition for the first week will be decided via a Discord vote, since you are all just getting started and cannot yet craft the necessary items.

What about memberships?

You can purchase a paid Oloko Patreon membership to buy exclusive clothing and furniture or to get a large garden where you can craft even more items. However, unlike the original version of Oloko, most things are free! Purchasing a membership supports the continued development of Oloko and helps cover its costs.

Alright, Nico, that’s enough answers for now—after all, everyone in Oloko should still get to experience a surprise or two for themselves. But if you definitely don’t want to miss a thing, be sure to check the Oloko blog regularly, that’s where we’ll let you know whenever something new happens in Oloko, who wins the group challenge, and, of course, who has fed Oloko the most.


However, if you’d like even more insights and want to become part of a great community, the team would certainly be happy if you joined the Oloko Discord server. Click here to join.
