Arkheron Playtest Schedule Change - Play Friday & Saturday

Jun 16, 2026

Arkheron is currently in a pre-launch development state, playable through open queues during weekly windows (listed below) and any time with custom games.   

TLDR: We're moving playtesting to Friday & Saturday nights to be more in line with community availability, and are extending the NA & EU play windows by an hour to give folks more time to join in and play each week. 

Why We’re Making the Change

Our weekly Community Nights (Thursdays) + Friday Night Fights have been awesome, but we’ve received feedback that there’s not a lot of difference in between each event. While we’re in this phase, we’ve decided to merge all of our weekly playtest windows under one banner without a specific theme - play, compete, have fun. We expect to bring back new player-focused events down the line when we have an expected influx of new folks. 

Also by popular demand, we’re shifting our playtest windows to Friday and Saturday to better align with our players’ availability. (Note: The Saturday playtest window is currently open for Europe and North America servers only, due to current player populations and interest.)

Come join us – we’d love your feedback!
