Arkheron changes
Spires is back this week! Help us test this fast-paced, 3v3 game mode while sharpening your combat skills with each new match.
Keep in mind: this is still an early iteration of what we want Spires to become, and even more than usual, we want to hear all your feedback. Unlike Turbo and Blitz Ascension modes, we see Spires as a mode that has the potential to become a mainstay game mode in Arkheron, just like core Ascension.
With that in mind, we look forward to shaping it with your help!
Check out the full list of activities here, including Spires, Custom Games, and our community takeover livestreams on Discord and Twitch.
Regional Queue Times
To keep ping low and matchmaking healthy, each region has its own play window.

8PM – 10PM BST
9PM – 11PM CEST

*NOTE: South America’s servers will be on as usual, but Spires is not available on South American servers for the time being. Custom games are still available! Read more here.
