An extended Closed Beta Test for Havenhold is scheduled to start tomorrow, April 17. The game is a combat-focused social sandbox that's inspired by the ancient Far East.

For the Closed Beta Test, players can look forward to:

• 14-day Cycle of progression: Rise to glory in competition and combat.

• Spirit Bind Abilities: Wield ancient powers to transform into avatars and learn devastating combat abilities.

• Engaging 3D Action Combat: Feel the intensity of skill-based combat.

• Co-op Dungeons and Events: Team up to take on tougher challenges.

• Player Driven Economy: Gather, craft, and trade everything with other players.

• Skirmishes and PvP Sieges: Contest loot in skirmishes, and work together for victories.

Since the Closed Beta Test begins tomorrow, there's still to apply and join. To apply, simply head on over to the game's Steam page and then "Request Access" under "Join the Havenhold Playtest."

The Taichu Order

In Havenhold, players take on the role of the descendants of the Taichu Order. These are warrior monks having the rare ability to Spirit Bind along with being able to use the transformative power of Primordial Spirits. As they journey across the Kunlun Mountain area, players need to search through dungeons, ruins, and sacred temples, in an attempt to recover ability scrolls which can unlock new combat skills. They also have to uncover blueprints to craft upgraded gear and weapons.

Surviving the Climb

As players climb higher towards the peak of Kunlun Mountains, the boss encounters are going to encourage warriors to form a party together to co-op the much more difficult areas. In the final days of the cycle, the strongest warriors left then compete in an all-our war to see who is deserving of all the glory of the Kunlun Mountain. The contest begins again with any skills and items transferred to the new cycle.

Skill Isn’t Enough

Victory in Havenhold isn’t just about skill since it’s also about commanding the battlefield. Seasonal warfare erupts between rival factions, where every player’s contribution can shift the tides of conflict.

Havenhold is slated to release this year and players can wishlist it on Steam.
