New Key Art Revealed & Exclusive Playtest Coming Soon

Hello, Explorers!

We’re excited to announce that we’ll be running an exclusive closed playtest from August 21st to 25th! This is an invite-only opportunity, so be sure to sign up here if you want to secure your spot. We’re looking for players who enjoy survival games, whether you’re casual or hardcore.

To celebrate this occasion, we’re thrilled to unveil our new key art featuring both Kiran and Gjorna. We wanted this piece to encapsulate the heart of Lysward’s experience: The harsh struggle for survival in the dangerous desert, and the magic Kiran wields through his Amri sleeve. Every detail was thought to make this piece as beautiful and eye-catching as possible. We’re especially proud to have collaborated again with the incredibly talented Jeleynai, who originally brought Kiran and Gjorna to life through their concept art. 


Lysward key art.

Your participation in the playtest and feedback will be invaluable in shaping Lysward’s development. Don’t miss your chance to experience the game early and help us refine the survival adventure ahead.

Sign up by August 15th; spaces are limited.

See you in the next update, Explorers!
