Before the Early Access starts, ArcheAge Chronicles will have a beta phase. What you need to know about it and who is allowed to participate is explained here.
When does the stress test take place? The test phase will take place on Sunday, September 13, 2026, from 01:00 AM to 07:00 AM CET.
Where does it take place? Interested players can sign up for “request access” through the Steam page.
Who can participate? Unfortunately, only players from the USA and Canada are allowed to participate in the test. Players from Europe will therefore miss out on this test, even if they can request access through Steam.
Why can I still sign up through Steam? Good question. You can certainly try it anyway. However, since access is not granted to all interested parties, it is unlikely that you will get a chance to participate despite being in a different region.
Will there be further tests in which Europe can also participate? Unfortunately, this is unclear, but not unlikely. It is conceivable that the developers want to test the servers region-based and will gradually give different regions the opportunity.
Can the test be streamed? Yes, participants may stream and share their experiences, provided they mention that it is a network test. So you can definitely watch impressions on the usual platforms.
What is playable in the test? There are no exact details on this, but the content will be very limited and will focus on the first areas.
ArcheAge Chronicles is set to start Early Access this year. Recently, the classes for Early Access were also introduced, which may initially seem inconspicuous but have great potential when looking at the specializations: ArcheAge Chronicles presents new classes, appear to be standard, but the specializations are outstanding
