Arkheron changes
Arkheron’s Friday Night Fights starts soon! Get back into Turbo Ascension, our Limited Game Mode for this week.
7 teams of 3 start on Floor 2, and the Destroyer Crown is back! Expect shorter games, quicker queue times, and plenty of Destroyer-doppelganger shenanigans.
Check out the full list of activities here, including Turbo Ascension, the Destroyer Crown, Custom Games, and dev livestreams on Discord and Twitch.
Regional Queue Times
To keep ping low and matchmaking healthy, each region has its own play window.
Asia / Pacific | 12PM – 2PM UTC
9PM – 11PM JST / KST
Europe | 7PM – 9PM UTC
8PM – 10PM BST
9PM – 11PM CEST
*South America | 11PM – 1AM UTC
8PM – 10PM BRT
7PM – 9PM AST
North America | 2AM – 4AM UTC
10PM – 12AM EDT
7PM – 9PM PDT
*NOTE: South America’s servers will be on as usual, but Turbo Ascension is not available on South American servers this week. Custom games are still available! Read more here.
Heads-up: queuing during a region’s window will connect you to that region’s servers, no matter where you are in the world. If you’re queuing outside your region, expect high ping.
