Next Playtest Starts on 05-21-2026

The next playtest will start at 1pm Pacific on 05-21-2026 and will run through 05-25-2026. This playtest features a massive expansion to the T1 dungeon, a new boss, helmets, a party system, combat tweaks, visual improvements and much more.

A preview of a portion of one of the new dungeon areas is below

The new boss spawns every hour on the hour and has no portals nearby so you have to work your way down to him, kill him and make your way back out to extract.

To really stress test the new content, this playtest will also have the starting quest line adjusted to send new players straight into the tier 1 dungeon, rather than having them go through the open world first. However, the open world will still be available and the Othari Raid (which has been significantly optimized) will run every 4 hours like last time.

I'm psyched to play with everyone, see you soon.
