Join our Beta Weekend to earn the "Clutch Performance" skin for Trenchwalker during our 4-day Playtest event from February 20 through 24, 2025! Every participant automatically competes for daily leaderboard prizes and can unlock the permanent Skin for Trenchwalker in our community milestone event.
During our upcoming Beta Weekend, running from Feb 20, 16:00 UTC to Feb 24, 16:00 UTC, you can join the game, play, and test the newest features: our new Battle Training, a streamlined Starfall Harvest mode, and a completely reworked Colossus. The new Battle Training feature, affectionately named "Highway Map," even comes with a completely new lighting system.
We've never been shy to dish out highlights: additionally, we have a feedback contest, milestone event, leaderboard contest, and a whole lot of streaming ready to make this weekend truly unforgettable.

The brand-new Training mode has been finished and implemented. Another milestone we wanted complete for Steel Hunters which also addresses feedback we received. A new major feature in the game always requires providing a clean slate - meaning that a progress wipe will be performed before this version.
To make up for this, we've prepared a battle-packed community event with a new and unique Trenchwalker Skin to conquer!
The Clutch Performance event kicks off simultaneously to the Playtest - February 20, 2025, at 16:00 UTC, and runs until February 24, 2025, at 16:00 UTC. Players are automatically enrolled to participate by completing in-game objectives. These contribute to our two running events: a personal leaderboard score, and a community-wide goal. Daily leaderboard champions (placing 1st-10th) will win steam gift cards and physical merch, and reaching the community goal unlocks a permanent Clutch Performance skin for Trenchwalker for qualifying participants.
