You can now register for the DEEPWARD Steam Playtest.

The playtest begins on:

Friday, July 31, 2026 at 11:00 AM ET / 8:00 AM PT (5:00 PM CEST)

Participation is limited in both capacity and duration. Access will be granted in waves, so we recommend registering as soon as possible.

DEEPWARD is still in active development, and this playtest build is an early beta version of the game.

In the current build, players can explore the first three levels of the manor, choose three heroes from a roster of six, and switch between them instantly during combat.

We are actively looking for feedback on gameplay feel, combat readability, performance, controls, balancing, and the overall experience.

If you join the playtest, please remember that this is a work in progress and that the game will continue to improve.

Thank you for supporting DEEPWARD.
