Greetings, Contenders!
The wait is almost over. We are incredibly excited to announce that the Heptic Arena Early Alpha will be publicly playable for the very first time at Gamescom 2025 in Cologne, Germany!
This is the moment we've all been working towards—a chance for you, our community, to finally get your hands on the game and experience the high-octane, glitched-out combat you've been waiting for. Your feedback is crucial as we approach our launch, and we look forward to seeing you dominate the arena in person.
Find Us in Hall 10.1 B078 - C079!
Mark your maps and set your coordinates! You'll be able to find us at our massive Heptic Arena booth located in Hall 10.1 B078 - C079. We’ll be there for the entire duration of Gamescom and open to the public from August 20th to August 24th. Say hello to the development team, challenge your friends, and showcase your skills. We're ready for you!
Exclusive Merch & Giveaways!
It wouldn't be a proper celebration without some epic loot. We'll be giving away a ton of exclusive goodies and Heptic Arena swag throughout the event! What kind of goodies, you ask? You'll have to follow our social channels for the big reveals!
We’ll be announcing the exclusive items in the days and weeks leading up to Gamescom. Make sure you’re following us so you don’t miss out:
Can't make it to Gamescom? We've Got You Covered!
We know that not everyone can make the trip to Cologne, but don't worry—you are a massive part of our community, and we won't let you miss the action.
First, make sure you are following the Heptic Arena Steam Page. In the run-up to Gamescom, we will be dropping a massive amount of new content right here — including new screenshots, lore details, and behind-the-scenes looks at development.
On Wednesday, August 19th, we will kick off a special broadcast. This pre-recorded stream will feature the WORLD PREMIERE of a full round of Heptic Arena gameplay!
So, follow us here on Steam and add the game to your Wishlist to be notified the second we go live and when we post any new updates!
Whether you’re joining us in Cologne or tuning in from home, we are thrilled to share this huge milestone with you all. Get ready for the mayhem!
See you in the Arena.
The Heptic Arena Dev Team
