Players who have purchased a Kickstarter or pre-order package of Ashes of Creation will have access to the Alpha Two test. This will begin on October 24, 2024, and will have three waves of content testing implemented throughout its runtime. Access to these content waves will depend on what package, or packages, a player has purchased for the game.

Similar to Throne and Liberty, any progression you make during this period will be wiped, so there's no need to worry about making the right or wrong decisions during play.

Intrepid Studios is hoping this will provide them with the necessary feedback they need to get the title in working order for launch.

There are a few key areas of development that Intrepid Studios is hoping to test with Ashes of Creation's Alpha Two. These testing areas range from crafting to PvE bosses and will be open for players to engage with how they wish. Unfortunately, there will be a large portion of content that is unimplemented, but at this stage, it is to be expected.

Below, we'll list some of the major content types players will be able to try out in this alpha stage:

• Node progression
• Node Systems
• Crafting
• PvE enemies
• PvP combat

Any player who has access to this release of Ashes of Creation will get a first-hand look at these types of content. You will also be able to directly help the developer tune and alter the in-game systems with your play and feedback. We highly encourage anyone who has access to give the game a shot, as the data the studio gathers from your engagement will be helpful for the end product.
