Scyrons!
It’s gamescom! 🎉🎉
And you know what happens at gamescom?
Of course, new games are announced, demos released and most important of all:
fresh, revealing trailers are dropped left and right.
We are of course no exception, doing a little bit of everything:
Did we say demo? Well, no, but yes.
Not really a demo, but kind of.
In short, our second public Playtest just went live.
So, if you were lucky, you might have received an invitation from Steam
Have a look at your used inbox including spam/junk folder, just in case.
To share insights, experiences and feedback with us, please do so on our dedicated Discord server.
About the Playtest
With this now second public playtest we are first and foremost interested in your enjoyment of the game. What was fun, what was less fun and what, if it applies, made you stop playing.
Feedback on the onboarding experience & knowledge sharing, but also the character controls & progression are also still hot topics for us.
Other points of interest, suggestions or feedback on game loop and systems are also always welcome of course.

Playtest FAQ
What are playtests?
Playtests are timely limited events where a select number of people are granted access to play the game in its current state in order to give feedback, report points of friction and possible major issues.
These sessions also allow the developer to observe how players interact with the game using anonymized telemetry data. Additional surveys can be sent out for dedicated, qualitative feedback.
How can I take part in playtests?
You can register for a chance to be part of the early playtests by clicking on the ‘Request Access’ button on the game’s Steam Store Page.
Please be aware that clicking the ‘Request Access’-button on the store page does not guarantee access. In a sense, clicking the button simply puts your name in the hat.
How do you select who gets invited to a playtest?
While we select the number of players required for the playtest, Steam randomly selects a group of players from the list of registered applicants. It’s entirely random.
How do I know that I got invited to a playtest?
You will receive a notification from Steam to the email address linked to your Steam account.
We will also share a notification using the game’s Steam News channel for all playtest details. So, if you want to be sure you’re to remain up to speed, playtest and otherwise, go and click the ‘Follow’ button on our store page.
Will access to a playtest translate into a full copy of the game at (EA) release?
No. On Steam, the playtest application for EverSiege: Untold Ages is a different one than the future full game. The playtest app is only available and usable for the select time frame of the playtests. If you are interested in the game, you’ll still have to purchase it once available.
