Featuring all six character classes and two tiers of swappable magic abilities, the Closed Beta will rotate periodically through a total of eleven different environments and five gameplay modes.

“Mirage is at a crucial state of development, so we’re really looking forward to sharing what we’ve been so proud to work on in the Closed Beta,” said Torn Banner Studios President Steve Piggott. “Seeing and reading real reactions from gamers will help us tune the final product to make the ultimate skill-based combat game.”
