We’ve been getting a lot of questions about when you’ll finally be able to jump into the Midrealms. The wait is almost over! We’re excited to share that the closed alpha is set to begin next week, allowing our community to play through the first half of the Heartlands.

This is the best time for you to help us shape Ardent Wilds with your feedback and experience the game before it hits early access.

We’ll be inviting players in waves on a first-come, first-served basis, so don’t worry if you don’t receive an invite right away. The first wave of invites will be sent out this week.

Can I stream the game? Absolutely, please do! While the game is far from finished and not representative of the final game we don't mind people getting a small glimpse into what Ardent Wilds has to offer.

How Can I Give Feedback?
