Weekly Playtests Are Back!

“Back to the carnage…” – Rynshi, the Beast

Hey everyone! After taking a moment to dig deeper on what we learned from Closed Beta, we’re ready to re-light the torches and welcome you back for more Spires and Ascension this weekend!

From Thursday - Sunday, we’ll have queues open on a schedule specific to each region. More information below!

Collection & Progression Update

Now that the Closed Beta has officially ended, it’s no longer possible to continue earning Pages for your collection. However, if you haven’t yet spent the pages you earned during Closed Beta, you can still use them to unlock your Collection items and Book Rewards.

This means you can still redeem and enjoy the cosmetics you unlocked from the Closed Beta for the time being– and, as a reminder, the Prestige Items you earned are yours to keep - but the other cosmetics will be reset sometime in the coming weeks.

Here’s what’s coming this week:

Tuesday, August 11

Tower Hour

Our team is hosting our bi-weekly livestream, Tower Hour, at 7PM PT in our Discord, or on the official Arkheron Twitch, or Youtube.

Our team will be live to chat about what we’re prioritizing next, including a new game feature we’ll be playtesting later this weekend.

Queue Schedules This Weekend

Friday - Spires and Ascension (Ascension is Ranked and solo queue only)
