A Playtest focused on the game economy
Playtest 3 puts special emphasis on the economic loop, far beyond dungeon gameplay. Our goal is to test the foundations of Arise’s future ecosystem.
🔨 Gathering : Players can harvest different resources in the accessible zones. These materials are used both for crafting and for trading. Their rarity, spawn rates, and usefulness will be adjusted based on playtest analysis.
⚒ Crafting : Crafting systems have been expanded: weapon and equipment creation, tool upgrades, and resource refining. This Playtest will help us calibrate material costs, the balance between farming and progression, and the real value of crafted items.
🔄 Player Trading : Player-to-player trading is one of the primary objectives of this test. We are seeking feedback on the ease of trading, its economic relevance over multiple sessions, and the fluidity of the marketplace.
🌱 Land Energy : Land-linked energy plays a central role in gathering efficiency.
New features in Playtest 3
⚙️ Enriched systems : Reworked gathering, deeper crafting, improved player trading.
🆕 New Dungeon: Arkhante : Available starting the second week, featuring new enemies, new level design, a new atmosphere, and fresh challenges.
⚔️ New PvP Challenge: 4 vs 4 : A brand-new PvP showdown format, accessible through Challenge Tickets. Designed to bring more dynamism, competition… and fun.
🔥 Advanced Challenge: Ascension : A progressively harder challenge mode with increasingly demanding floors. Performance in Ascension grants access to rare rewards.
🗡 New Weapon: The Shadow Weapon : Forged in the shifting darkness of the most secret Arkhomes, this weapon draws strength from stealth, misdirection, and fast, elusive attacks. Built for subversion and tactical disappearance.
🎟 Challenges : Each active account receives 1 ticket per day. Additional tickets can be earned in dungeons. They grant access to various Challenges, which reward “Challenge Crystals” that increase your chances of obtaining mythic weapons.
💎 Exclusive Reward : As announced in previous Playtests, each participant receives a Founder’s Coin—an exclusive currency reserved for Early Access. To obtain it, you must play during the Playtest and complete the beginner guide. This coin will be usable only in the Founder’s Shop during Early Access and not during Playtests.
Arise remains in pre-alpha, which means bugs are expected and features are still under development. Each Playtest helps us test optimization, performance, and scalability. We strongly encourage you to report bugs and share your balancing feedback directly in-game. To participate, simply download the game on the Epic Games Store:
