This Week in Arkheron - June 29-July 4

Jun 30, 2026

The Cycle Begins Anew

Last week, we continued playtesting the massive 0.20 Spires game mode patch. We ran some fun community custom games on Tuesday, and trained hard for the Dahla Cup, a community-run tournament hosted by Hawks and Nethy this past weekend! 

Here’s what we’re up to this week:

Tuesday, June 30 

Tower “Half-Hour” + Dev Customs

Join us for a mini-Tower Hour, now at 7 pm PT, where we’ll spotlight our community goings-on and talk to the Dahla Cup organizers about post-tournament highlights, learnings, and more! Then, we’ll run some custom Ascension games– with the Fishing Amulet and Vision Pulse turned ON! Whether you’re a novice Echo or a seasoned player, we welcome all skill levels. Jump into our Discord to play!

Friday & Saturday, July 3-4

Arkheron Playtest Windows

The Tower opens for playtesting, with times varying depending on your region. Queues this week will be on Spires, Arkheron’s version of an “Arena” mode. Spires aims to help players (old and new) sharpen their skills in combat. 

See the full list of regional servers and open queue times here.

Tune into Arkheron’s Discord, Twitch, and YouTube, to spectate community creators!


Arkheron’s playtest windows are how we play, learn, and grow alongside our community, while testing out exciting new features and fine-tuning the game to its optimal state.

During these playtests, you can expect us to experiment with a variety of features and activities to help us better tailor the experience, understand how you all like to play Arkheron, and help us beat up new additions to the game. We’re learning as you play, so expect several iterations and changes that feel very work-in-progress.
