The mobile and PC closed beta test for the hotly anticipated tactical RPG Ash Echoes is set to begin on September 19th, with sign-ups closing on September 17th.

That means there’s still time to get involved—but you’ll have to act fast. 

Developed by Neocraft Studios, whose other credits include Order Daybreak, Primon Region, and the hugely popular Tales of Wind, Ash Echoes is a groundbreaking real-time strategy game whose action spans the multiverse. 

Gameplay-wise, it introduces two new underlying systems: class and elemental. 

There are seven elements to manage in the game—Fire, Water, Lightning, Ice, Wind, Physical, and Corrosion—along with seven distinct professions. These variables set the stage for a pretty much infinite range of combinations and interactions. 

Naturally, your success in Ash Echoes will depend on your ability to deploy these combinations to create the most powerful possible reactions. Only the most quick-thinking and tactically astute players will survive the game’s most difficult scenarios. 

Created in the powerful Unreal Engine, Ash Echoes is shaping up to be a stunning example of the tactical RPG genre, with richly detailed, technically astounding 3D visuals and beautifully presented 2D backdrops and character art.

And you can get in on the action early by signing up for the global closed beta test. 

To sign-up, all you need to do is create a Neocraft account and complete a short recruitment questionnaire for your chance to score a qualification. There’s a pre-launch lottery, too, the prizes for which include a place on the closed beta and a ton of other rewards. 

Plus, you can tip the scales even more in your favor by participating in a variety of social media events that variously involve sharing on Facebook, commenting on Reddit, showing up on Discord, and retweeting and following on X. 

Recruitment ends at midnight on September 17th. Go here to put your name down.
