Arkheron CBT Launching July 16 With Learning Spires and Spires Modes
The inclusion of two practice-oriented modes alongside the main battle royale suggests DRIMAGE is prioritizing player onboarding for a game that relies on deep equipment combinations and tactical decision-making.

DRIMAGE will conduct a closed beta test for Arkheron on Steam from July 16 to 27. The developer detailed the new Learning Spires mode for beginners, which teaches practical skills through a tournament-style structure, and the Spires mode, a run-based system that ends after three losses or ten wins. The main Ascension mode will be available only on weekends and holidays during the CBT.
Arkheron is a team-based battle royale for up to 45 players in 15 teams, competing on a giant tower. The main Ascension mode has players form teams of three, scavenge for Relics, and aim for the top floor. The new Learning Spires mode, available at all times during the CBT, is designed to ease new players into the game's systems. After the tutorial, players can learn to choose consumables, equipment, and utilize Eternals in a best-of-three match format. Spires, meanwhile, imposes a limit of three losses or ten wins per run, encouraging players to experiment with different builds as prices increase on purchased items. The closed beta test runs from July 16 to July 27.
