Never Wither Playtest Scheduled for May 29! Now open for applications

[p]Dear Gardeners,[/p][p] [/p][p]The development of Never Wither has reached a milestone—an important, landmark stage. As the game content continues to grow, we are inviting every curious player to join our first limited-time technical playtest.[/p][p] [/p][p][/p][p]Never Wither's first limited-time & limited-quantity technical test is scheduled to launch on May 29, 2026. The test will run for 3 days, from May 29, 2026 (PT) to June 1, 2026 (PT).[/p][p][/p][p]You can apply to participate in the playtest on the Never Wither Steam page: [/p][p][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p]We also welcome all players to join our official community, where we will regularly host events and give away playtest access. The winners of the first access distribution have been announced. We will grant test access to winning players before the test begins. Thank you for your patience. There will be more recruitment events and access distributions in the future![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]This initial limited test will let you discover the first region of the game—the Valley. The test will contain 3–5 hours of gameplay, during which you can tame creatures, build structures, and defeat powerful bosses. Because multiplayer features are still being refined and optimized, multiplayer gameplay will not be available for this test.[/p][p][/p][p]Please note that this test build is still in an early stage of development, primarily for technical validation of core gameplay and foundational systems. This means you may encounter incomplete tutorials, performance issues, occasional bugs, and a relatively limited amount of content. The Valley region is only a small part of the Edda continent; furthermore, some systems and creatures remain in their prototype stages.[/p][p][/p][p]Nevertheless, we firmly believe that listening to players' feedback during these early stages is the best way to continually improve Never Wither. Your every piece of feedback is invaluable to us.[/p][p][/p][p]Although the game is still in early development, we are eager to share our progress with players. To let more people experience the charm of the Edda continent, this test does not have an NDA. We encourage everyone to share screenshots, record videos, and host livestreams.[/p][p][/p][p]Detailed information, system requirements and FAQs about the test will be published in the near future. Stay tuned![/p][p][/p][p][/p]
