Hey Everybody,

The first phase of Hot Lava closed beta is now closed.

Thank you to everybody who participated and sent us feedback and bug reports. We got a lot of valuable feedback and information that has really helped us know where we need to be going forward. For the most part, we didn't have any major unforseen issues and the feedback was right on track with what we were expecting to see.

This means we're now getting ready for phase 2!

Tuesday May 8th will begin Phase 2 of closed beta. All previous participants will once again be granted access to the game and we will add and additional 3k participants.

Beta registration will close on May 11th - At that time no further registrations will be accepted.

Please note that this schedule is subject to change and we will make announcement as we get closer to confirm the time and date of phase 2 launch.

Thanks to everybody for all your support and encouragement, it really means a lot to us. See you on May 8th!

The new date for the Hot Lava beta will be Tuesday April 10th. Selected participants will be notified by email if they are selected at that time.

We know you're all very excited and we apologize for the delay. We appreciate your patience and understanding. Thank you.

These last few months our team has been busily working away in our secret volcano lair in preparation to unleash Hot Lava to the public. While, the official launch is still a ways off, we’re happy to announce that we’ll be rolling out our first stress test on April 3rd through April 10th.

Players who signed up on the initial beta registration will have first priority in order according to when they signed up. The first wave of participants will be admitted on April 3rd. About 2,000 players will be allowed in. Future, larger waves of Beta players will follow in additional beta phases.

If you signed up previously, check the email you signed up with for your reservation code. If you haven't signed up yet, you can head over to https://beta.playhotlava.com/ and sign up now!

If you are selected to participate, the game will be granted directly to your Steam inventory. Simply visit our site and login through Steam to secure your place in line.
