Elowyn Alpha Wrap-Up & Beta Preview

The Elowyn adventure is only just beginning! As we approach the completion of our Alpha phase, players have been exploring new strategies, building decks, and enjoying enhanced in-game tutorials, along with improved time and deception mechanics.

Very soon, you’ll also be able to experience the in-game shop and marketplace, and sign in with your email or Google account via our new in-game wallet.

In the next Alpha build, coming around January 22nd, you can also earn bonus points by healing the Elowyn Tree and reputation points through win-win gameplay. Every decision you make — whether competing or cooperating — teaches the game’s AI to favor win-win logic, helping to train an intelligence that can safely evolve toward general intelligence, while also testing whether conventional AI models can be safely deployed as AI agents.

The feedback and creativity from our community has been incredible — thank you for helping bring Elowyn to life. We could not have done this without the work of our amazing partner Frag Games, who are building Elowyn for and with us.

Beta Teaser - What's Coming Next

Looking ahead to Beta, coming out in about 5-6 months, we’ll be expanding the ways you can play, team up, and refine your strategies — both in-game and in the way your choices influence AI for good. Here’s a glimpse of what’s coming:

• 🎯 Weekly Challenges – Exciting goals and missions to test your skills each week.

• 🛡️ Cosmetics & Personalization – Unique cardbacks, battle maps, and hero flair to personalize your profile and showcase your style.

• 🤝 Social Play & Guilds – Team up with friends, join guilds, and unlock collaborative community rewards.

• ⚙️ New Match & Skill Modes – Experiment with custom rules, skill-focused drafts, and AI challenges.

• 🌳 Interact with the Elowyn Tree AI – Your wise in-game companion will give guidance, feedback, and hints to help you grow your strategy and mastery, like your personal game mentor while it also learns from and with you.

• 📚 Lore & Adventures – Explore Elowyn’s rich stories through solo quests, interactive hero features, and unlockable lore from avatars like Eureka, Kairos, Gebo, Arcon, Loki, and Venrda, who are evolving into fun AI Agents.

These are just glimpses of what we’re crafting — Beta will bring even more ways to shape your strategy, explore and evolve the story, and interact with AI companions! And in case you’ve not yet explored the Elowyn lore, here’s a direct link to dive in: Elowyn Lore
