Playtest is open. May 1 to 3.

Round two of the Warena playtest is live right now. Three days, open to anyone. Hit "Request Access" on the Steam page and Steam adds it to your library, usually within a few minutes.

If you played in April, this is the build you've been waiting for. If you didn't, welcome.

What's new

  • New Runes and Hero Skills

  • Mid-match Storm and Wild Card events that shake up longer fights

  • Balance pass on cards, units, and matchmaking, based on what we learned from the April test

  • Bug fixes and stability work across the board

How to join

  1. Hit "Request Access" on this page

  2. Steam adds the playtest to your library

  3. Install, queue up, drop a card

How to help

Three days is short. The more matches we get, the better the data. A few things that actually help:

  • Play a handful of ranked matches, not just one

  • Tell us what worked and what didn't, either in the Steam discussions or on Discord. Bug reports, balance complaints, moments that felt great, all of it useful.

  • Wishlist Warena if you haven't already. For a small studio, that's the single biggest thing you can do for us.

See you on the battlefield.
