Set in the near future, Deathgarden revolves around a spectacular real blood sport that is the most popular entertainment on the planet, where powerful Hunters prey on agile Runners.

In Deathgarden, players choose to team up as agile Runners or to embody the Hunter, a heavily armed champion whose mission is to kill the runners, preventing them from escaping The Garden- an arena that is different every time.

The Deathgarden Closed Beta will commence June 19th until the 26th at 9am EST! The Closed Alpha was a success and we've made balancing changes, and have exciting new content for you to try out.

If you played during Closed Alpha, you are guaranteed access in the Closed Beta! Simply launch Steam on the 19th, download the update, and begin playing. If you registered but did not receive a key for Closed Alpha, hang tight! You are in our database with a great chance to score a spot in the Closed Beta.

All Alpha/Beta players will get exclusive cosmetic items upon the launch of Deathgarden.
