Deep Silver, the games label of Koch Media, a leading producer and distributor of digital entertainment products, announced that the first Closed Beta phase of the urban MMO 7Million has begun this week. Any amateur mobsters who would like to take part are welcome to register for the next beta phase at the official website www.7million.com.

Starting now, the first chosen players get to sneak through Paradise City in the current Closed Beta phase of 7Million, and practice their skills as spare-time thieves. Testers who get to participate in this phase have already been notified by e-mail. However, there is good news for interested gamers who are not among the first participants: Deep Silver will continue to send out invitations. Moreover, beta testing will take place on a much larger scale in a few more weeks.

7Million is a free massively multiplayer online game, set in a modern world full of life, glamour, and spectacular heists. The freely explorable setting of Paradise City serves as a background for numerous thrilling missions and as a meeting point for gamers from all over the world who meet and team up here with their individually created characters.

7Million is developed by Team Vienna and produced by Cliffhanger Productions.
