ARE YOU READY FOR THE ULTIMATE DRAGON SHOWDOWN?

Players interested in participating can sign up for the closed beta now on Steam.

The closed beta will officially commence on May 1, 2025, at 1 PM EDT until May 12, 2025, at 1 PM EDT.

The closed beta will allow players to choose from four unique heroes, each with their own fighting style, and play with up to 3 friends or solo. Following valuable feedback from its initial demo, the closed beta introduces significant enhancements and brand-new content for players to experience.

New Key Features in Closed Beta:

• Refined Combat System: Based on player feedback, RuniQ has implemented improvements to combat, ensuring better balanced encounters and the removal of frustrating attack chain interruptions for a smoother and more engaging experience.
• Competitive Mode Unlocked: Players can now test their skills against friends in the newly unlocked Competitive Mode! Face off in local or online matches to earn the title of Mount Dragon’s ultimate champion. Utilize a variety of devious curses – electrify, shrink or flip your rivals' controls – to disrupt their gameplay and seize victory.
• New Kingdom to Explore – The Elven Sanctuary: Venture into the mysterious and enchanting Elven Sanctuary, a brand-new kingdom teeming with Dark Elves, cunning Witches and lurking Spiders. Discover its secrets and face its formidable inhabitants.
