Godforge Beta 2: Early December, and What’s In the Test

Beta 1 was a lot of fun! I wanted it a little more polished, especially since they were originally aiming for Early Access early this year, but I still had a good time with it.

Simon’s August 18 video puts a window on Beta 2, and I’m looking forward to it! They’re aiming for early December, likely the first or second week, for about two weeks. Main work is supposed to be done by mid-October, then they harden the build. No firm start date yet.

If you played Beta 1, your heroes carry into Beta 2 at level one. Save your Fateless ID. Progress still does not carry into the full launch. Exclusive rewards are the piece they have said goes to Early Access.

I’m fine with heroes carrying over. I’m not even sure they need to do it at this point. Beta 2 sounds different enough that I’d almost just assume we start fresh. It might let us simulate a slightly more developed account though, which could be a fun way to walk in!

What they want in this test:

  • Arena and Pantheons as the two big new modes
  • A campaign that is more exploration than a straight line of stages
  • Summoning presentation with aetherstones and the Godforge (the full Sanctum rework is later)
  • Weapon abilities you actually fire in combat
  • Easier roster work (mass promote, level to 60)
  • Better performance and more devices
  • Treasury of Midas, a dedicated gold dungeon (the Golden Guardian coming back)

I’m really curious about Pantheons! Here’s the guild hall from Simon’s video.

The campaign is the one I'm probably most excited about. If the boring nodes get replaced with stuff like this, I'm in! Campfires, elites, minor bosses on the map instead of a straight line of stages.

They also said draft/tower was tested internally and is probably not in this beta.

A new mini-game is supposed to land sometime before Beta 2. No date on that yet, and it is not live. I’m curious what they’ll do for it. If it’ll have more launch rewards, or if it’ll just let us modify the ones we already picked. And I wonder what the game will be. That one’s going to be fun to see!

I’ll write up the weapon abilities and imprint-removal pass separately. There’s a lot going on there!
