Hey survivors,

Dysterra global CBT has just started! To all the players, soon to join in the world of Dysterra, please find detailed information about our CBT below for your gameplay:

- July 6 at 19:00 PM ~ July 20 at 07:59 AM in PDT
- July 6 at 22:00 PM ~ July 20 at 10:59 AM in EDT
- July 7 at 04:00 AM ~ July 20 at 16:59 PM in CEST
- July 7 at 11:00 AM ~ July 20 at 23:59 PM in KST


[h3][Steam - PlayTest][/h3]
Our beta test will be on for 2 weeks in Steam Playtest. Starting from July 6 at 19 PM (PDT), survivors who requested access to Playtest are able to join Dysterra through the ‘Play Now’ button on our Steam store page or from the invitation email sent from Steam.



Once you click the ‘Play Now’ button, you can find a new tab ‘Dysterra Playtest’ in your Steam Library to download.



[h3][Gameplay][/h3]
Once you get into the lobby, you can create a nickname and select a server to play from Single Player or Official Server (multiplay server). Only one character can be created on each server. Please be careful to pick your nickname as it isn’t unchangeable once you name one.





-Single Player:
Single Player is a separate server where you can fully enjoy the world of Dysterra yourself.
Before playing in the Official Server, you can control settings just for yourself without any disruptions from other players in Single Player. Also, you can start a new or continue game whenever you want from where you stopped.

Please note that your gameplay in Single Player might be delayed if you have a few more softwares running behind on your PC.



-Official Server
Official Server is the world where you should survive competing against other survivors. You can create a character depending on your current region and also it’s easy to check the server where you have already created a character through the icon on the left.



In case of getting access to servers where you are not currently at, please note that you might have an unfavourable internet connection due to the high ping playing the game. For better gameplay, choose the server regarding the region and ping to your current internet environment and also, we recommend going through basic information on ‘Basic Game Guide’ posted on our Steam community hub to play the game before choosing the server.

Preview of New Region, Arphaxad

Hi guys,

We have a new map update to share!
Following along with Elam and Ashur, we've updated a new area named Arphaxad. Not only dangerous threats to your survival but also abundant resources coexist in this area. You need to fully gear up to overcome intense competition among survivors.

[h2]Update on New Region, Arphaxad đŸ—ș [/h2] - Northeast desert area, Arphaxad, and Hyper-Satellite Station.
- Highest difficulty but highest valuable resources guaranteed!




In Arphaxad, you will have to confront various abnormalities and significant durability downfall in both weapons and housings. These are mainly due to high temperature and dust storms caused by the on-going Terrafire. You’ll be able to control your high temperature and raging thirst with rooting a raw Opuntia Leaf and Agave Leaf.



Arphaxad is indeed a difficult region to survive in. However, this area is filled with plentiful resources and Terrasites compared to other areas which would be a good challenge for mid to high tier survivors.

That’s why we believe that Arphaxad will bring a full number of very bitter competition among survivors for wanting to increase their growth and skill.



Finally, a new checkpoint within Arphaxad called Hyper-Satellite Station is a new satellite control facility built for smooth space logistics between the Orbis and Earth. As this facility has various EMP devices to prevent communication failures, you can acquire an Electromagnetic Phase Chip when you occupy this checkpoint.

Electromagnetic Phase Chip offers the ability to temporarily stop Terracores owned by other survivors with EMP Shockwave skills and to charge up all Terracores in your base with energy amplification skills.

You’ll be able to incapacitate other survivor's defense systems when raiding their bases which means, you also have a power to solidify your defense system at your base whenever your survival is threatened.



We look forward to your feedback on the Arphaxad update.
Feel free to post your opinions on our Discord channel and Steam community. With the feedback received, we will try our best to provide you with better and improved Dysterra.

Hey guys,

Today we’re bringing very exciting news for you. Remember how much you guys wanted to play Dysterra with friends as a team? We finally made it! đŸ’Ș


[h2]Team System[/h2] This system offers a lot of player convenience and lets you share housing with your teammates.

Having your teammates back will be less dangerous in your Dysterra gameplay and between players, you can [Create a Team] or [Invite players].



During your gameplay, you can always form or break up with a team with players who are all in the same server and all of your teammates’ location and status are easily found on the mini map.

Not to be surprised yet; voice chatting between teammates, crafting tools and sharing them together are also possible! There is no need to use your phone to communicate with them anymore, we’ve got it covered.



※ Please note that all of the gameplay images provided above may be subject to change depending on the development process.
