Shanghai, China — 8 May, 2025 | Be among the first to shape the future of Etheria — before the gates open to the world on June 5. The Final Beta Test for Etheria: Restart is now officially live with players able to sign up via the Apple store, Google Play, or on PC through the official website. For the first time, hyperlinkers can check out payment features with special bonuses - while these will not carry over past the test period, any purchases will come with multiple rebates at launch.
Developed by XD Games, Etheria: Restart is an ethereal hero RPG and live arena experience that blends cinematic visuals, deep strategic combat, and customizable squad-building. This is the final test before Etheria: Restart goes live worldwide, giving participants the opportunity to experience high stakes PvE content such as Threshold quests, the rogue-like Ember Ruins, and also a new gacha system; 100 Crystals per summon with no 50/50 RNG.
In the beta, players can test their might in new PvE challenges, including Anisync Echoes where boss mechanics will evolve dynamically, as well as the survival gauntlet Phantom Theater with scaling difficulty. In addition to these exciting challenges, there will be three new PvP systems:
- Real-Time Arena (RTA) - Competitive draft-style PvP battles
- Guild vs Guild (GvG) - Tactical warfare between player alliances
- Etheria World Summit (EWS) - A global stage for competitive PvP tournaments
The summit will provide Etheria: Restart players with a chance to showcase their skills on an international scale. It will include structured qualifiers to fight for place in the main event, and knockout-style championship brackets to decide on the ultimate victor, all broadcast live for fans across the globe. Plus, those who are ranked high enough in the final test’s Summit Arena will get the chance to be invited to the first official tournament after launch!
Etheria: Restart delivers rich 3D visuals and immersive real-time combat control, redefining what mobile and cross-platform RPGs can be. With hundreds of team customization options, plus the first chance to play brand-new SSR Animus Freya, there’s plenty to give players a taste of Etheria ahead of the full launch.
The final Closed Beta will run from May 8 to launch on June 5, at which point any purchases made will be compensated with in-game rewards. Players can pre-register in the Apple store, Google Play, or via the official website.
