Embody a mage commander and unleash chaos on the battlefield by summoning hordes of creatures and casting powerful spells in this multiplayer game where strategic play, skill, and creativity are rewarded.

Will you be a Spellcaster they fear, or one they worship?

In a unique blend of third-person action and strategic decision making, challenges players to master both movement and magic to dictate the pace of the battle. Each match is played as a 3v3, fast paced 25-minutes showdown across mystical arenas of epic scale and verticality, where teams must capture altars to gain territory and destroy their opponents’ Lifestones to claim their victory. Players will step into the fight as Spellcasters, archetype-driven mages with distinct identities, defined roles, and signature abilities, capable of summoning hordes of creatures and casting powerful spells. Infused with magic, each Spellcaster can take to the skies and fly freely across the arena at any moment in battle to command the battlefield, unlocking a level of movement freedom rarely seen in the genre.

Spellcasters Chronicles sets itself apart thanks to its strategic deck-building system. Whether players choose a support, tank, or damage dealer archetype, they will be able to choose from a list of more than 50 spells and summons, bringing tactical adaptation and creative expression into the arena. Additionally, players will also have to choose one of the world-crushingly colossal ultimate summonses, The Titans, a high-sized and powerful creature capable of shifting the tide of battle. This hybrid of archetype-driven design and customizable decks makes every match in Spellcasters Chronicles a strategic battle, rewarding experimentation and team synergy.

In addition to its competitive core, Spellcasters Chronicles will introduce a singular approach to how stories are shaped in multiplayer experiences. This community-narrative aspect of the game will be introduced in the coming months.

Quantic Dream opens a new chapter as Spellcasters Chronicles enters Steam Early Access, now available to players worldwide.

The game’s Early Access represents an open Workshop, a collaborative space where players are invited to actively shape the evolution of the game alongside the development team as a living, evolving experience shaped by community feedback. Unlike previous Closed Beta tests focused on performance work and technical stability, this phase shifts the focus toward gameplay depth, balance iteration, progression systems, and long-term feature development.

“From the very start, we envisioned Spellcasters Chronicles as a game that grows through experimentation and iteration,” said Gregorie Diaconu, Game Director at Quantic Dream. “With Early Access, we are opening the Workshop to everyone. This isn’t a traditional release phase; it’s a space for active collaboration. We are moving beyond technical validation and into deeper layers of design: refining balance, expanding mechanics, and testing new ideas in close dialogue with our players. Your feedback won’t just adjust numbers, it will influence priorities, shape new content, and help guide the direction of the Chronicle itself. This phase is only the beginning of a much longer journey that we can’t wait to build together.”

Alongside the launch of Early Access, Quantic Dream is introducing the early access roadmap structured around evolving development phases. Throughout these phases, the studio will progressively implement foundational features of a live, evolving game, including voice chat, expanded customization, reworked ranked mode, spell unlock progression, daily quests, and shop updates.

Among the first glimpses of what lies ahead are a new Arena known as Kamazad and the arrival of a new Spellcaster, the Technomancer, with more details to be revealed in the coming weeks. This roadmap represents the studio’s current development targets and will remain flexible. Priorities and timing may shift as the team analyzes player feedback and identifies new opportunities during Early Access.

INTRODUCING COMMUNITY VOTE WORKSHOP

In addition, the studio will introduce a new way for players to get even more involved with the game’s development thanks to the introduction of Community Vote, available very soon on the official website. Players will regularly be asked to vote on several topics that will help the development team shape the experience and the in-game meta. Everyone participating in those votes will be rewarded along the way.
