Halloween Playtest Weekend - October 2023

Greetings, Champions of The Bornless,

The veil between the worlds grows thin, and spirits old and new rise to dance in the moonlight. We invite you to join us in a haunting journey as we announce our Halloween Playtest, set to bewitch you from October 27th until the midnight chimes on October 29th, AND exclusively also open on Halloween (October 31st).

[h2]What to Expect this All Hallows' Eve:[/h2]

Halloween Special:
Prepare for a spectral transformation as we unveil a brand-new Arena map, crafted with uncanny details, designed to amplify your Halloween gaming experience. Bug fixes and enhancements are also on the agenda.



Early Access and Development: As we continue to navigate through this otherworldly journey, it's crucial to acknowledge that we are still in an alpha build phase. Expect the unexpected, report issues to our Discord, and contribute to making The Bornless the haunt you desire. Your diligent feedback is invaluable to us. As a token of our appreciation, participants have the opportunity to receive Enigma boxes and other rewards. Join our bug hunts and see our Discord for full details on how these are awarded.

Access Key Required: To take part in this Halloween festivity, you'll need an access key. Secure yours now; they're as elusive as a ghost.

How to Get a Key: Sign up for our waitlist on our website or through Steam by Requesting access to our Playtests directly. The spirits may just choose you. Don't miss this opportunity to be among the first to explore the dark and treacherous universe. If you already signed up through our waitlist or Steam Playtest - you do not need to enter again, you're still eligible to enter any future playtest.



Limited Player Capacity: Due to server capacity, we can only accommodate a limited number of players for this event. Make sure to sign up early to secure your spot. If you don't get accepted for this playtest, don't be disheartened. More playtests are on the horizon, and if you've registered on our waitlist, you're still in the running for future events.

Game Modes:
This Halloween Playtest comes alive with two spectral experiences—our ever-evolving Titan mode and a newly introduced 2v2 Arena map. In Titan, expect a smoother and more polished journey, filled with recent bug fixes and improvements that are waiting just beyond the veil for you to discover.

As for our 2v2 Arena, be one of the first souls to tread on its haunted grounds. The new map is woven with elements designed to give you chills as you and a partner try to outwit and outfight the opposition.



Tutorials and Guides:
Before you embark on these ghoulish quests, equip yourself with knowledge by checking out our video tutorials and game mode guides.

Matchmaking Schedule: As a multiplayer game, queue times during these limited (player and time limitation) playtests might be longer than usual. However, to enhance your experience, we've identified specific timeslots that maximize your chances of quick matchmaking. For detailed information on these optimal timeslots, please visit our Discord (will be available from Friday, October 20).
