Open Beta Has Ended! A Thank You from Chief Rebel

[p]Hello Fellows! [/p][p] [/p][p]The Fellowship Open Beta has ended, and we want to extend our gratitude to all of you for traveling to the Stronghold and going on a slew of dungeon runs! The main purpose of the Beta was to get one final round of feedback before Fellowship launches on Steam in Early Access on October 16 – and you all definitely gave us a ton of great feedback and support. Thank you all for making the Open Beta a huge success, we really appreciate every single one of you who jumped in! We wish we could extend the Beta (know many of you have asked for that!), but we need to set our sights on getting Fellowship ready for Early Access launch and implement all the great feedback you’ve given us.  [/p][p] [/p][p]We know the Open Beta had some server issues throughout, meaning so many of you decided to hop in and play. We’re sorry those issues came up, but we worked hard alongside Arc Games to closely monitor and address your reports to ensure you encountered less issues (and jumped into dungeons more quickly!) We’ve been able to identify ways to improve server stability across the board, and rest assured that for Early Access launch we hope to have the servers as stable as possible – so you all can focus on just having fun.  [/p][p] [/p][p]That said, we’re thrilled so many of you got to try out Fellowship during the Beta, and our Fellows got to play as Mara (you sneaky rogues) for the first time and experience the new gameplay systems we’ve implemented, including our new matchmaking and group finding systems. Many content creators, including Shroud, GuzuTV, Xaryu, and more, along with World of Warcraft guilds, including Liquid, Echo and Method, partnered with us and streamed Fellowship, as they squaded up with friends and took on some of the most challenging dungeons.  [/p][p] [/p][p]We loved watching all of you discover your favorite heroes, dungeon strats, and epic gear during the Beta – and we absolutely can’t wait for all you to play the game more in just a few weeks. For now, we’ll be hard at work (and catching up on sleep along the way) to implement your feedback and create a fuller experience for when Fellowship launches on Steam in Early Access! Make sure to continue to tune into our Discord and social channels for updates leading up to Early Access launch, including new trailers.  [/p][p] [/p][p]We look forward to you all jumping into Fellowship again pretty soon when the game releases on Steam in Early Access on October 16! [/p][p][/p][p]Cheers,[/p][p]Chief Rebel[/p]

Open Beta Maintenance - September 19, 2025

[p]Hello Fellows![/p][p]We have identified a potential improvement for our servers and will be taking the game into maintenance mode at 12:30pm PT.[/p][p]We'll let you all know when we're Live again![/p][p]We will keep queues a bit slower once we're up and running again so we don't slam the servers. Our team will be back in the office tomorrow to continue working on things![/p][p]Thank you all again for your ongoing support and patience as we sort things out[/p]

Open Beta Update

[p]Hi Fellows - Thanks so much for your patience and understanding as we try to resolve the server and queue issues we've experienced today. Trust us, we want you all to successfully get into the Beta -- we know you all have been waiting for it![/p][p]Wanted to share an update: The investigation surrounding the issues is still ongoing, and we're looking into every possible way of getting this resolved as quickly as possible. We've been actively investigating the issues since Open Beta began, and need a slight break to rest for a few hours (it's late in Sweden!) After some much needed rest, tomorrow, we will continue to troubleshoot and hope to resolve the issues.[/p][p]Thanks again for all of your support, and we hope everything will be resolved tomorrow so you all can jump into the Beta![/p]

Update: Servers Live!

[p]Thanks for your patience, Fellows![/p][p][/p][p]The servers are back live! We will be capping the servers and expanding slowly, so expect some queues. Thank you everyone for your ongoing patience![/p][p][/p][p]In the meantime, if you haven't already, join our Fellowship Discord and send some love and words of encouragement to the devs while they're working hard to bring you back into the game!
