[h2]Explorers, assemble![/h2][p]
The Lysward Beta officially begins on October 22nd, and we want YOU to be among the first to explore it.[/p][p][/p][p]This is a major milestone for our team, and we can't wait for you to finally step into the world we've been building. However, before you jump in, you must know that this is an early beta build of the demo.[/p][p][/p][p]What does that mean for you?[/p]

• [p]You will find bugs. From minor visual glitches to more significant issues that we need to find and fix.[/p]
• [p]Content is not final. Some features are missing, unbalanced, or placeholder. This is not the full Lysward experience. The game is still in active development, and there will be much more to come in the near future.[/p]
• [p]You will find unfinished areas.[/p][p][/p]

[p]So, why an open beta?[/p][p]Because your feedback is crucial. By joining the beta, besides becoming among the first to play our game, you also become a core part of our development process. Your feedback, suggestions, and discussions will directly help us shape Lysward into the best game it can be.[/p][p][/p][p]If you're the type of player who loves seeing a game grow and wants to be part of that journey, this is for you.

[p]We’re excited to announce that we’ll be running an exclusive closed playtest from August 21st to 25th! This is an invite-only opportunity, so be sure to sign up here if you want to secure your spot. We’re looking for players who enjoy survival games, whether you’re casual or hardcore.
[/p][p]To celebrate this occasion, we’re thrilled to unveil our new key art featuring both Kiran and Gjorna. We wanted this piece to encapsulate the heart of Lysward’s experience: The harsh struggle for survival in the dangerous desert, and the magic Kiran wields through his Amri sleeve. Every detail was thought to make this piece as beautiful and eye-catching as possible. We’re especially proud to have collaborated again with the incredibly talented Jeleynai, who originally brought Kiran and Gjorna to life through their concept art. [/p][p]
