DRIMAGE JAPAN is publishing Arkheron, a team-based PvP game in closed beta on Steam through July 27, with ongoing community events including a streamer tournament and a beginner event.
DRIMAGE JAPAN is the publisher of Arkheron, a top-down PvP game developed by Bonfire Studios. The game entered closed beta on Steam from July 16 to July 27, 2026, supporting up to 45 players in teams of three climbing a tower. The beta includes multiple modes: Ascension, Spires, and Learning Spires, with improvements from earlier tests such as enhanced matchmaking and performance optimizations.
Alongside the beta, DRIMAGE JAPAN organized community events to build engagement. The Arkheron Uwinks Cup, held on July 20, was a tournament limited to streamers and joint streamer-viewer teams, with 15 teams competing in a points-based format. Commentator Fumiell and caster Daruma Otoshi hosted the event, and prizes included song cover production and illustrations. A separate custom beginner event hosted by streamer Kenki on July 19 featured 27 participants, quizzes, and gameplay demonstrations.
Both events were accompanied by a Discord campaign offering Amazon gift card prizes. The closed beta period ends on July 27, and DRIMAGE JAPAN has indicated plans for future tournaments in an open format.
