Thanks for Playing the Arkheron Closed Beta Encore!

“Find me next cycle. I will remember you.” – Karriv, the Forge

Our team is taking this week to dive deeper into all our learnings from over the course of our first-ever Closed Beta. That means there will be no Playtest servers active this week.

We are so incredibly grateful to everyone who participated in the Arkheron Closed Beta and provided valuable feedback through your gameplay, in our Discord, and in the Forums.

Next week, we’ll start up our Weekly Playtests once more, so come back to help us keep testing, iterating, and improving the Arkheron experience. We’ll also host a Tower Hour next Tuesday, August 11, to talk with our community about what we’re taking away from Closed Beta, and what we’re prioritizing for the following weeks.

But this isn’t “Next Week in Arkheron,” so what’s going on this week? Read on.

Closed Beta Community Achievements

To commemorate some of the awesome in-game milestones and stats we achieved together – including Pages Gathered, Executes… executed, and more – we put together this Closed Beta Community Achievements video with some sweet community clips and gameplay data. Check it out – you might even see yourself in action!

Fan Art Competition Ends This Wednesday

We’re in the final days of our first-ever Fan Art Competition! You have until August 5th at 1PM PT to submit your creations, so get painting, modeling, sketching, or crafting with whichever medium strikes your fancy.

Slide on over to the forums and get inspired by checking out the beautiful collection of current submissions – including this incredible sculpture of Hollow’s Darkling Staff by ricklesauceur, complete with a Gloomy on top! 


As always, you can still play the Tutorial, Bot Games, Learning Spires, and Custom Games. We highly recommend using our Discord to find other players to run Customs with!

If you’re new to Arkheron, or have friends who want to check it out – welcome! You can still sign up for access via FirstLook here: https://bonfire.firstlook.gg/invite/playtest

Thank you for your patience while we gather ourselves and continue cooking behind the scenes. Our journey together will continue next week.

Until then – have a wonderful week, and thank you for playing!
