- The Demo is Over. See You in Early Access! - 23 September 2026
We originally planned to keep the demo live for one week, but the response was way bigger than we expected, so we ended up keeping it up for almost three. Seriously, thank you to everyone who played, left feedback, reported bugs, shared the game, or just gave us a chance. It’s been a pretty wild few weeks, and seeing people actually play and enjoy something we’ve spent so long working on has been incredibly rewarding. For now, the demo is coming down while we get back to work and prepare for the next step. We’ll see you in November for Early Access. Can’t wait!
- Demo Available Until September 13! - 8 September 2026
We’ve been running a closed beta for the past few days and now we’re opening it up so everyone can jump in and play! We can’t wait to hear what you think. Thank you so much for sticking with us and supporting the game! See you on the sidelines!
- Closed Beta Complete! - 22 June 2026
Hi everyone, We’re releasing a new build that will close access to this stage of the closed beta. Before anything else, we want to say a huge thank you to our community. Everyone who played matches, shared feedback, reported issues, talked about the game, and spent time with this early version has helped us more than you know. This testing phase gave us a lot to learn from, and your feedback has already been incredibly valuable in helping us understand what is working, what needs improvement, and where we should focus next. The team will now take everything we’ve learned and continue preparing the game for its next testing phase. Thank you again for being part of this journey with us!
