Patch Note: Early Access v1.0.2

Thank you for participating in the Second Wave Early Access! In this new patch, we are making some balance changes to Heroes, Game Modes, and Items based on feedback, as well as some bug fixes.

Please remember that everything in the Early Access is still in development! Just as we did during Alpha and Beta, we will continue to develop the game by listening to your valuable feedback during the Early Access. Thank you for your interest and we look forward to interacting with you and making Second Wave even better!

For now, enjoy the game!

Server Maintenance Complete

We are happy to announce that we have resolved the issue that has been plaguing the game for the past 11 hours. We apologize for the downtime and appreciate those who have chosen to stick with us. Second Wave is still in Early Access and some bugs and issues are to be expected, but this was not one of them. We will continue to work hard to make sure this never happens again. As promised, we will be sending 5,000 gold to all players, with an additional 1,000 crystals as our way of expressing our apologies. Thank you for giving us a Second Chance.

Note: Once the in-game mail has been sent, please make sure to open the letter in-game within the next 14 days to receive the compensation, or else it will expire.

Welcome to Armantia



Heroes of Armantia!

It has been an incredible 2 years of development and we want to thank you for your incredible patience with us. For those of you who have been with us since the beginning, we want to thank you for your love and support. It has sustained us through the darkest of times. From our first Alpha in May 2023 to the Beta Test in October 2023. It has been the adventure of a lifetime.

Now we’re finally releasing Second Wave into Early Access on PC, and even though it’s still a work in progress, we’re so happy that you’re able to join us and play, and even help shape the game with your fantastic feedback. We’ve updated our FAQ on our support page, and we’ve also posted it here on our website, as well as on our Discord and Steam communities. The FAQ should answer most of the questions players may have, such as the decision to go into Early Access and why it is “Buy to Play”, along with many other concerns.

Along with the launch, we’ve also added 2 special events for Early Access players where you can earn free Crystals and more!






Thank you all for your continued support and patience. Please remember that Second Wave is currently in Early Access and does not reflect the final result. You will (most likely) experience bugs and crashes, and just like the Alpha and Beta phases, we will use your feedback and your voices to continue to improve the game.

Welcome to Armantia

Get Ready For Summer Fun!

With Early Access just around the corner, we know that it's releasing just in time for the Summer! A few months ago on Discord, we asked our players an innocent question "Who would look good in a swimsuit?" With the responses from the community, we knew we had to deliver.

All of these outfits and more will be available in Second Wave when it launches in Early Access on Steam later this month. Want to get a head start? Be sure to add the game to your Steam Wishlist so you can jump in when Armantia opens its doors.

Early Access Date Announcement

Greetings Heroes of Armantia!

Since our last update with our Beta in October 2023, we’ve been hard at work on Second Wave. We had so much feedback and of course over 20,000 players who tried the game. Since then, we have seen the outcry from the community, and we feel that the game is now ready for Early Access.

What does this mean for you?
Although we originally planned to release Second Wave at the end of 2024, we realized that we needed to take more time to develop the game. As of now, our timeline is 2025, but we will keep the game in Early Access, which means that players will be able to test the game, give us direct feedback, and help shape the game with us. Second Wave’s Early Access will begin on May 30, 2024 (May 31, 2024 KST) via the Steam platform on PC.

Why Steam? What about PlayStation and Xbox?
We felt this was necessary because, unlike the other platforms, we can freely update the game without too many delays. While Steam gives us a way to push an update, especially if it’s important, it can take a few days on other platforms like PlayStation or Xbox and would typically be released on a Tuesday. That said, Early Access will be coming to both Xbox and PlayStation at a later date.

We will be doing a lot of events in Second Wave to commemorate the early access period, such as earning crystals, cosmetics, and more. But the question we have seen since our first teaser on YouTube is “What exactly has changed in Second Wave?” Without giving too much away, we’d like to give you a little insight.

For the Early Access phase of Second Wave, we have redesigned the overall look of Trestyn. The map you may have seen in the Alpha or Beta is now a memory and has been replaced with a more detailed map that fits our vision. Please keep in mind that the polishing, such as colors, textures, etc. are not yet finished.
