ARKHERON FAQ

What kind of game is Arkheron? 

Arkheron is a team-based pvp game where 45 players enter a match and compete to ascend a mysterious tower and be the last team standing. Teams of three gather items and work to make powerful combinations of abilities. Check out our Official Announcement Trailer and Gameplay Explainer for more information. 

When will Arkheron launch? 

We’re not ready to confirm a date yet but we will officially launch Arkheron later this year. 

What platforms will be available?

At launch, we’re planning to make Arkheron available on PC, PlayStation and Xbox. 

Will Arkheron be free-to-play? 

We aren’t quite ready to share the details of our plan but we can confirm that we won’t be free to play. 

Will there be Ranked mode? 

During our Closed Beta, we’re planning to test a partial version of our Ranked mode. We do anticipate their being a ranked progression system available at launch. 

Will there be solo mode? 

We have no plans for solo mode just yet but we’re aware that it’s a popular request. As we get to launch, we want to have our best chance at high quality matchmaking. Because of this, we are unlikely to split the queues further than necessary. When Arkheron has a higher player population, we can look at various possible modes!

We also have other plans that we’ll reveal later this year which may help the solo player experience. We also keep our eye on how high-skill premade teams affect the gameplay experience of others.
