Helrift changes
All testing will be handled through Steam, but we invite you to join our Discord to be the first to hear about game developments, engage with other playtesters and join the growing Helrift community.
The closed test will take place Monday, December 22 2025 until Friday 16 January 2026
Our objective
This is all about gathering early, meaningful feedback from the community. We’ll be focusing heavily on:
Tutorial clarity & new-player onboarding
PvP combat and balance
Server performance & stress testing
Bug reports & stability issues
Early-game PvE and PvM
General gameplay impressions
Helrift is free and anyone can register, but we may need to limit slots depending on how busy the playtest servers are.
What to expect
An FAQ page is available.
Additional details and known bugs will be shared closer to the playtest date.
