Here’s a small preview of what you can expect in the upcoming beta:

In the Closed Beta, you will discover a brand new region of Aurai: La Rescapée.

Rescapée is a french word that means ‘’saved and finally safe.’’ 


Once a lush forest, La Rescapée was almost entirely razed after over a century of invasion from the Scourge. Its denizens were massacred, leaving behind only fragments of a civilisation that had stayed away from the Blue Chamber’s influence.  Now, it is a land defined by its rebirth after the events of the Turning. Due to the amount of death in the region, there are many ghosts that naturally exist in the region. Are you prepared enough to survive Aurai?

Discover a preview of the Closed Beta content Live 

Guillaume, Nine Dots CEO and Creative Director  will be live on Twitch for the occasion! 

Join him playing the playtest on Monday, May 25th at 2PM EST.
