Today, we are finally announcing the launch date: Epigenesis will be available in full on the 1st of August this year!

We will also be hosting a release tournament with awesome Cooler Master as sponsors! Prizes will be given from Cooler Master’s catalogue of gaming gear such as mice, headsets and keyboards. More info will be released soon together with info on how to sign up for the tournament!

The latest update of Epigenesis includes a new queueing system with one-button matchmaking, giving players an easier way to find and join matches. We hope that this will make it easier for players who want to get in quick for a few matches! Three new maps are also now available in the recently added single player mode: GranArena, MixedArena, and LegacyArena.

We are currently working on creating an in-game store for cosmetic items and daily missions! Currency will not be buy-able with real life money, but must be earned from completing missions in-game. We hope that this will attract players to spend more time in-game while having a clear goal to aim for.
