Check out the Chronicles Update on the PTS!

"Chosen One, odd things are happening in the Hiram Mountains. Our scouts report of a stranger near the Gate of Gods and the seal on the Illusion Cave is suddenly weakened. The Hiram Guards call upon your aide once more." - Lewia

Uncover the secrets of the False Prophet Calleil in a new questline, defeat empowered versions of familiar foes in Auroria, and so much more in the Chronicles update coming October 15th!

With this update comes much more powerful versions of Jola, Meina, and Glenn in Auroria. Meet Jola the Faithful, Vicious Meina, and Relentless Glenn wandering around Auroria after defeating their counterparts. In the event you can spawn them, you will reap the rewards of the Improved Leader's Infusions!

Along with skill balance changes, the introduction to Gem Carvers, and even advancements in the Language Proficiency, there is much to see and do! Are you itching to experience it yourself? Luckily, you can test out this update first hand on our Public Test Server!

Between trying out and experiencing the newest content, we are grateful for your help in identifying bugs, localization issues, and other pesky kinks. We invite you to provide all feedback and bug reports in the thread [here]()!

For more information about the latest version of the Patch Notes, you can take a look at [this thread]()! Please keep in mind that these Patch Notes are a work-in-progress and will be updated continuously throughout the testing phase and launch.

To access the PTS, you need to select it through the Glyph launcher:
  • Select ArcheAge as a game.
  • From the top right, switch the region from Europe/North America to Public Test.
  • Select PTS1 for the legacy test world, or PTS2 for the Unchained test world, complete with the ArchePass functionality. Both of these servers will have the Chronicles update.
  • You may need to install/update the PTS version.
  • Press 'Play' and join the fray!


It's important to remember that Fluffy will not be available during this testing period. However, there will be NPCs placed in Marianople, Austera, and Diamond Shores that will provide some gear, Mounts, Labor Rechargers, and other goodies to help you test the new content!

The best anime games on PC

The best anime games for PC are as wildly varied as the Japanese film, television, and manga from which they are inspired. Whether you fancy being trapped in a school with a sadistic remote-controlled bear, defending yourself from gargantuan humanoid monsters, or joining a book club with a dark side, there are plenty of anime games for PC to choose from.


We've got everything from the biggest games based on Japan's hottest export shows, through the finest JRPGs, to anime MMOs influenced by the signature anime style. Dragon Ball, Attack on Titan, and Naruto are all present and correct, plus a few other gems you may not have heard of before.


This list is especially good if you're looking for your fix of this distinctive form of Japanese animation, but find you're wallet can't stretch to full price triple-A releases. The sandbox MMO Archeage and the dark visual novel Doki Doki Literature Club! make up part of our free anime games contingent, and have just as much of their sleeve as their fee-to-pay counterparts. Here are the best anime games on PC.
