Hey everyone! Crossplay Beta is almost here, and we’re so stoked to bring you into this new experience. Before the gates open though, here’s what's happening this week in Arkheron:
Monday, September 21
We deployed a quick Hotfix for Patch 0.23.0 today ahead of Crossplay Beta. Check out the latest changes here.
Tuesday, September 22
We're back with another Tower Hour at 7pm PST, streaming live on YouTube. This week is the week to tune in: in addition to the usual community roundup, our dev team is joining us to give you the full breakdown on Crossplay Beta. We're showcasing the new Crossplay trailer, diving into the 0.23 build, what's new under the hood, and why we're so thrilled to bring Arkheron to PC, Xbox and PlayStation for the first time. Plus, we'll reveal some of the surprises waiting for you when you jump in this weekend.
Friday, September 25 - Sunday, September 27
Crossplay Beta is officially live! All weekend long, queues will be open for you and all your friends to play on your platform of choice. The Crossplay will kick off in various regions at the following times:
Europe: 5:00 pm BST | 6:00pm CEST
South America: 5:00pm AST | 6:00pm BRT
North America: 3:00pm PDT | 6:00pm EDT
Across all regions, the Crossplay Beta will end at 11:59pm PDT on Sunday, September 27. This gives players across the globe the maximum amount of time to get into final games and any nightly queues.
How does it work?
Endless Spires will run for 24 hours a day for the duration of the Crossplay window. Ascension will be open every night for a minimum of three hours, with the option to keep those queues open and rolling as long as players are online and ready to climb. Here are the Ascension windows for each region:
Europe: 6:00pm BST | 7:00pm CEST
South America: 7:00pm AST | 8:00pm BRT
North America: 4:00pm PDT | 7:00pm EDT
This Crossplay beta runs in Europe, South America, and North America so our team can stay online and fix issues while queues are live. Playing from another region? You can switch your queue to a participating region (fair warning, the ping won't be pretty) and still log in to claim your beta rewards.
Did you say rewards?
Yes! We’ve got rewards in store for the Crossplay Beta, but we're saving some of those details for Tower Hour. Be sure to tune in Tuesday to get the full deets.
