Alpha

Chains of War, an innovative Free-to-Play Fantasy RPG Extraction Looter (FREL) game, can now be wishlisted on the Epic Games Store. Currently in development using Unreal Engine 5 and incorporating blockchain technology, Chains of War© offers a fresh gaming experience by blending fantasy with the popular extraction looter genre.

On November 29 the Closed Alpha for Chains of War was released on Epic Gamesarrow-up-right, the platform for 270 million PC players. This early iteration of the game offers a first look at the world of Tyrrha, the factions, and our unique take on the extraction looter genre. Here's everything you need to know about the Alpha release:

Closed Alpha

First and foremost, this is an Alpha version—a work in progress. The Closed Alpha is the first phase in testing through a rough first version to gather feedback for further game development. Here’s what will be included:

  • A World to Explore: A detailed map filled with hidden treasures, thrilling challenges, and the lore of Tyrrha. Players can experience gameplay as one of the four core factions.

  • Single-Player Experience: The multiplayer mode is still under development, so this release focuses on single-player gameplay only.

  • Blockchain Features Disabled: To ensure security, prevent vulnerabilities, and create a more approachable product for traditional audiences, blockchain elements will remain inactive until the final product launch.

  • Core Mechanics in Action: Looting, quest completion, and the all-important extraction systems will be at the forefront. Every decision you make—when to fight, loot, or extract—will carry weight.

Participation in the Closed Alpha is exclusive to:

  • Official testers

  • Content creators
