The next playtest will start at 1pm Pacific on 07-23-2026 and will run through 07-27-2026. This playtest features a new 1v1 tournament event, a queue for ranked duels, 1-handed weapons and shields, and much more.
The tournament consists of a group stage where you are put in a group of similar elo players. Group winners then compete in a bracket stage which will contain players of all elos.
In addition, I've made improvements to the animations and visuals, see an example clip here:
I've also been working hard on some really cool new QoL stuff including new 3rd person camera options and auto positioning of your third person cursor. A demo video is here:
I'm psyched to play with everyone, see you soon.
