Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Ashes of Creation is a massive, ambitious world built around systems that react and evolve with player activity. From the beginning of Alpha, our goal has been to develop this MMORPG in open partnership with our community - to invite players into the process, gather feedback, and refine the experience together.

Early Access to our Alpha Two allows us to bring players into Verra during key stages of development, helping us test, balance, and improve systems that make the world truly dynamic. Every test, report, and adventure helps shape how civilization rises or falls across each realm.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We’re currently in Alpha Two, the second major testing phase of Ashes of Creation. Following this phase, we plan to move through Beta One and Beta Two, leading toward full launch once the game reaches the quality and stability our community deserves.

Because the world and its systems are vast, development will continue to evolve throughout these stages. We don’t have a specific end date for Early Access, but each phase brings us closer to realizing the complete vision for Ashes of Creation.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version focuses on establishing and testing the core systems that define Ashes of Creation:

- Dynamic Settlement System that drives world growth and political change
- Trade, economy, and crafting systems with player-driven supply chains
- Combat and Archetype systems
- Open-world PvP and PvE encounters
- Siege warfare, guild progression, and social systems
- & more!

As development progresses, we plan to refine and expand these foundations with additional content, world events, polish, and performance improvements. The full release aims to represent a more complete, stable, and optimized version of Verra, shaped by years of player feedback and iteration.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Ashes of Creation is currently in active alpha testing, with many systems still in development and subject to significant change. Players can expect:

- Frequent updates and realm wipes when needed as features are implemented and tuned
- Unstable builds, incomplete content, and ongoing balance adjustments
- Opportunities to test and provide feedback on core systems such as combat, settlement progression, economy loops, and world events

While there are bugs, performance issues, and unfinished areas, these tests are critical for gathering data and ensuring the game’s foundation is solid before entering beta. Early Access participants should approach this phase as a testing experience, not a finished product.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“During Early Access, Ashes of Creation will be offered through a purchase that grants access to all upcoming testing phases, helps cover realm and database costs, and includes a digital box (one month of game time) along with a cosmetic cloak.

At full launch, Ashes of Creation will transition to a monthly subscription model, reflecting its status as a live, evolving MMORPG supported by ongoing development, updates, and new content.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Community is at the heart of Ashes of Creation. From early design discussions to large-scale testing, player feedback has shaped every stage of our development.

We actively gather input through:
- Structured playtesting and feedback surveys during each testing phase
- Public forums, Discord, and social media discussions where players share reports and suggestions
- Regular developer livestreams and updates detailing progress and responding to community questions

Early Access players are not just testers - they’re pioneers of Verra, helping us refine mechanics, uncover bugs, and shape the world’s political, economic, and social dynamics. Every test helps us get closer to delivering an MMORPG where the world truly reacts to its players.”

State of Alpha

A view through a stone archway into a sunlit courtyard filled with vibrant red autumn trees. Fallen leaves scatter across the ground, soft warm light filters through branches, and ancient stone walls frame the scene, suggesting a peaceful abandoned ruin.

Ashes of Creation is currently in active Alpha testing, which means the game is still deep in development and evolving alongside our community. Many of the systems you will experience - combat, settlements, crafting, caravans, sieges, and more - are works in progress. Some are early prototypes, some are being refined, and others are yet to be fully introduced.

Because of this, players should expect:

  • Frequent updates that may reset progress as we implement major changes.

  • Bugs, performance issues, missing features, and incomplete content across the world of Verra.

  • Active balance adjustments and system reworks based on live player feedback and internal testing.

This stage of development is not just a preview - it’s a partnership with our players.

A COLLABORATIVE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS

We believe MMORPGs are stronger when built with the community, not just for it. During Alpha, we actively engage players through:

  • In-game testing events focused on core pillars like sieges, node progression, raids, caravans, and PvP systems.

  • Official feedback channels via forums, surveys, Discord, livestream Q&As, and direct playtest reports.

  • Transparent development updates where we share progress, showcase new systems, and discuss community-requested changes.

  • Rapid iteration - player feedback from live tests frequently results in system adjustments in the following patches.

Your experiences, both the epic moments and the broken ones, directly shape the future of Verra.

WHAT ALPHA IS (AND ISN’T)
Alpha is:

✔ A chance to help build a world from the ground up.

✔ A place where experimentation is encouraged and feedback matters.
✔ A raw, unpolished view of systems that will grow into the foundation of a living MMORPG.

Alpha is not:

✖ A finished game.

✖ A guarantee of uninterrupted progression, your characters and servers may be wiped.

✖ A fully balanced or content-complete experience.

WHY YOUR PARTICIPATION MATTERS

Every test brings us closer to a world that feels alive, reactive, and player-driven just as we envisioned it. By joining us now, you’re not merely playing a game; you’re helping shape one of the most ambitious MMORPGs in development.

Thank you for your patience, passion, and most of all, your feedback. Together, we’re rebuilding civilization on Verra.

A World Reborn from the Ashes

Ashes of Creation is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) set in a high-fantasy world where player actions shape the world itself. Cities rise and fall, populations shift, and entire regions transform as players rebuild civilization on living, reactive continents. Every decision, individual or collective, leaves a lasting mark on the world of Verra.

Whether you’re leading armies into battle, building empires through trade and craftsmanship, or uncovering ancient secrets long buried beneath the sands, Ashes of Creation offers an evolving journey defined by the choices of its players.

Your Story, Written by Many

The choice and the world is yours to shape.
