Repeated intro
Hey everyone! The wait is almost over. Our Closed Beta is just around the corner! We’re super excited to finally see you playing Drakantos! 😄
Extracted changes
- Compatibility
The beta weekend will run from July 25 to 27, starting at 9 AM ET on Friday.
Request Access
If you haven’t already, request access now through our steam page.
📩 Players who get in will receive a friend invite and that friend can pass it on to someone else, too! Just make sure you’ve been Steam friends for at least 30 days to send the invite (Steam rules).
There will be four server regions available during the beta: NA, SA, EU and AS. Note: Once you select a region, you won’t be able to change it during this test. (Don’t worry, server transfers will be possible when the game officially launches.)
We'll draw the first wave of participants on July 25. Those selected will receive an email from Steam. We'll be scaling the servers and sending more invites throughout the beta. If you're not picked right away, don't worry, you still have a chance to get in.
Only English and Portuguese will be available as supported languages during this first beta. More languages will be added in future stages, but for now, all in-game text and UI will be limited to those two.
As expected, progress will not carry over to the full release. This is a test, so everything will be wiped afterward.
This is our very first beta, and with so many players joining, there may be some technical issues or bugs, that’s part of the process. We’ll work to fix anything as quickly as possible.
The most important part of this test is your feedback. It’s incredibly valuable and will help us shape and improve the game moving forward. Especially because Drakantos is a very unique MMORPG and your experience will help us make it even better. ❤️
Since this is our very first test and it only runs for 3 days, we’ve focused the content on the beginning of the game. You’ll be able to explore the first area, right before reaching Kasteron, the human capital. This helps us test the starting experience, progression flow and early systems with as much player feedback as possible.
In this beta, all players will have access to 15 heroes right from the start: Liam, Marly, Zeugladius, Reya, Yura, Ojore, Thomas, Byron, Iris, Ozul, Faendar, Arryn, Orbryn, Yuki and Korz. You can see the gameplay teaser of some of them here.
Feel free to try them all, in Drakantos, you don’t need to create a new character just to play another class. Instead, each “class” is a hero, complete with their own abilities, lore and personality.
You can unlock all heroes in your account and freely swap between them whenever you want. Their level and gear don’t carry over between heroes, but there’s a lot of cross-progression. Artifacts, trophies and their upgrades are shared across your account, as well as cosmetics like mounts and pets.
Most importantly, once one of your heroes reaches a certain level and power, endgame accessories become shared, so you won’t need to re-farm endgame gear for every hero. This makes it much easier to have a pool of heroes and use them based on the content, boss or PvP mode you’re playing. If you prefer to stick with just one hero, you can, but the
