Hey everyone,

As you might already know, by now we've had six closed technical beta tests behind us and we just wanted to give you a quick update regarding the progress we've made with them and what's next for us leading up to the Early Access release of the game.

Firstly, we'd like to say that we'll no longer have Closed Beta tests for Phageborn. Now that we've gathered and analysed the data we gained pertaining to the overall performance and game balance, we are ready to completely shift our focus towards the optimizing the game based on that same data we've received from our awesome fanbase.

We're very thankful that we have such an awesome fanbase which helped us immensely through our Closed Technical Beta phase. Because of your suggestions and feedback, coupled with the continuous support we've been receiving, Phageborn will undoubtedly feel like a better and more accomplished experience and because of that no amount of 'thank you's' can express our gratitude!

We'd like to show you a small infographic with some cool info we've gathered over the course of six closed technical beta tests we've had.



WHAT LIES AHEAD

Now that we've reflected on the past, we'd like to outline what's looming on the horizon for Phageborn leading up to the Early Access release on the 30th of January, 2020!

We'd like to announce that Phageborn will be having an open beta sometime before the release where everyone will get the chance to jump in and try out Phageborn for themselves. The open beta will last longer than the closed ones and players will get the chance to get a feel of the progression system of the game.

What better way to spend the cold winter days than with friends and family, battling it out with the favourite faction and Avatar of choice!

The most exciting thing that awaits us in the future and what we can't wait to talk about more is the Reboot Infogamer 2019 expo we'll be attending this year. All I can say now is that it's going to be wild! Since the expo starts on the 12th of November, more info on our activities you definitely won't want to miss will be announced soon!

Make sure to keep a close eye to our social media channels and our Steam page so you don't miss anything Phageborn-related.

See you on the battlefields of Issilith!
