Mirage: Arcane Warfare Closed Beta Launches Today


Torn Banner Studios has announced the launch of the Mirage: Arcane Warfare Closed Beta.


Torn Banner Studios, creators of Chivalry: Medieval Warfare, will today officially launch the Closed Beta for their upcoming magic ‘n melee multiplayer combat game Mirage: Arcane Warfare. Today starting at 10:00 AM PDT, players who pre-order Mirage: Arcane Warfare get instant access to the Beta, which is live until close to the game’s release date. Plus, Chivalry owners get 10% off.


To mark this important occasion in the game’s development, Torn Banner Studios is pleased to reveal the release date for Mirage: Arcane Warfare: May 23rd, 2017. Pre-orders begin today at 10:00 a.m. PDT on the game’s Steam page, and early adopters will gain instant access to the Beta by ordering the Standard or Special Edition. Pre-order customers are also granted one additional “Friend Key” of the Closed Beta.

Beta players will experience the most complete version of Mirage: Arcane Warfare to date - under no Non-Disclosure Agreement; all broadcasting is allowed. 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.

He can heal allies and summon a flying carpet - see his reveal in the final moments of the Walkthrough trailer.

“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.”

Torn Banner Studios is also making their hit game Chivalry: Medieval Warfare available for free for a day on Steam.
