Hey everyone! The wait is almost over. Our Closed Beta is just around the corner! Were super excited to finally see you playing Drakantos! \n\n\n

The beta weekend will run from July 25 to 27, starting at 9 AM ET on Friday.

\n\nRequest Access\n[quote=Dev notes]If you havent already, request access now through our steam page .\n\n \nAPPLY NOW HERE [/quote]\n\n\n\n

\n
• Players who get in will receive a friend invite and that friend can pass it on to someone else, too! Just make sure youve been Steam friends for at least 30 days to send the invite (Steam rules). \n\n
• There will be four server regions available during the beta: NA, SA, EU and AS. Note: Once you select a region, you wont be able to change it during this test. (Dont worry, server transfers will be possible when the game officially launches.)\n\n
• We\'ll draw the first wave of participants on July 25. Those selected will receive an email from Steam. We\'ll be scaling the servers and sending more invites throughout the beta. If you\'re not picked right away, don\'t worry, you still have a chance to get in.\n\n
• Only English and Portuguese will be available as supported languages during this first beta. More languages will be added in future stages, but for now, all in-game text and UI will be limited to those two.\n\n
• As expected, progress will not carry over to the full release. This is a test, so everything will be wiped afterward.\n\n
• This is our very first beta, and with so many players joining, there may be some technical issues or bugs, thats part of the process. Well work to fix anything as quickly as possible.

\nThe most important part of this test is your feedback. Its incredibly valuable and will help us shape and improve the game moving forward. Especially because Drakantos is a very unique MMORPG and your experience will help us make it even better. \n\n\n\n\nSince this is our very first test and it only runs for 3 days, weve focused the content on the beginning of the game. Youll be able to explore the first area, right before reaching Kasteron, the human capital. This helps us test the starting experience, progression flow and early systems with as much player feedback as possible.\n\nIn this beta, all players will have access to 15 heroes right from the start: Liam, Marly, Zeugladius, Reya, Yura, Ojore, Thomas, Byron, Iris, Ozul, Faendar, Arryn, Orbryn, Yuki and Korz. You can see the gameplay teaser of some of them here. \n\n\n\nFeel free to try them all, in Drakantos, you dont need to create a new character just to play another class. Instead, each class is a hero, complete with their own abilities, lore and personality. \n\nYou can unlock all heroes in your account and freely swap between them whenever you want. Their level and gear dont carry over between heroes, but theres a lot of cross-progression. Artifacts, trophies and their upgrades are shared across your account, as well as cosmetics like mounts and pets. \n\n\n\nMost importantly, once one of your heroes reaches a certain level and power, endgame accessories become shared, so you wont need to re-farm endgame gear for every hero. This makes it much easier to have a pool of heroes and use them based on the content, boss or PvP mode youre playing. If you prefer to stick with just one hero, you can, but the game fully supports and encourages players to have multiple ones. \n\nEven if only the first region is available, you can still reach Rank 5 of the Adventurers Guild (the full game goes up to Rank 14). That means you\'ll have access to a huge variety of enemies, mini-bosses and dungeons, since each rank introduces new challenges and content. It\'s a great way to get a feel for the progression and diversity the game has to offer.\n\n\n\nWe currently have 16 major bosses, but since they are part of the endgame, they normally start appearing from Rank 8 onward. For the beta, though, weve tuned one of them down to be accessible at Rank 5, so you can get a taste of whats coming later in the journey. \n\n\n\n\nWeve put together a FAQ on our Discord that explains more about some of the games main systems. You can find the direct links to each explanation here:\n
