Project ZETA is back! Get ready to storm the Aran Plateau once more with two new heroes to play, more Battle Codexes to test out, new visuals, tons of quality of life improvements, and a streamlined tutorial to get new players started!
And we’re bringing in more testers than ever before for CBT 3, so there will be plenty more players to face the storm with (or against).
Let’s go over the details of CBT3, how to join, and how to earn rewards and prizes by playing and bringing your friends!
What is Project ZETA?
For those new to the game, Project ZETA is a team-based, third-person MOBA featuring five teams of three players each, fighting for control over dimensional energy sources called Prisms. Choose your role—Fighter, Assassin, Mage, or Marksman—and execute fast-paced, high-stakes strategy in a vibrant sci-fantasy battlefield.
Assemble your team and try out different strategies to claim victory on the Aran Plateau!

We’re working hard on getting the game in a great spot for our playtests and will deliver IN-GAME BETA HERO rewards at a later date.
What’s New?
CBT3 is our biggest outing yet. The team has been hard at work, making sure the game’s visuals give players key information, the heroes play well and feel good, and that the game flows naturally without any snags.
We’ve overhauled the visuals of the game, especially the Aran Plateau, where we’ve added new textures, lush environments, and massive landmarks, making its areas much more visually distinct than before. We’ve also overhauled the minimap, improved in-game announcements, and added a new onboarding tutorial to help first-time players understand the game.
On top of that, there are two new heroes to try! Look out for our Hero Profiles releasing next month, where you can learn all about their origins, classes, abilities, and more!
Try out new team combinations and become a master of the Plateau!
Feedback
Our priority through these beta phases is to shape the game alongside our dedicated community. Your voice matters, and this test will shape what comes next, so be sure to share your ideas and feedback in our Discord to have your voice heard!
Project ZETA’s CBT 3 starts soon, so grab your keys, bring your squad, and get ready to bring the storm to the Aran Plateau. See you soon!
