The battlefield of magic is opening its gates. Spellcasters Chronicles, the highly anticipated multiplayer action-strategy title from Quantic Dream, is gearing up for its first Closed Beta Weekend, running from December 4 at 15:00 UTC to December 8 at 09:00 UTC. This marks the game’s first global hands-on test, inviting players from Europe and North America to experience Quantic Dream’s bold venture into team-based multiplayer gameplay.
Hosted on Steam, the Closed Beta will be available to players who register and are selected for this initial test phase—offering the community its first true look into the spellbinding world of Spellcasters Chronicles.
A First Look: Six Spellcasters, the Mausoleum Arena, and Strategic Deck-Building
Following its limited debut at TwitchCon San Diego earlier this year, the Closed Beta introduces a richer and more expansive experience. Players will get access to:
- Six unique Spellcasters
- The Mausoleum arena
- Deck-building with 11 creatures, 8 spells, 2 buildings, and 2 titans
This early selection grants a substantial amount of freedom to experiment and craft unique playstyles, enabling players to explore the foundation of Spellcasters Chronicles’ strategic depth.
Meet the Six Spellcasters: Six Archetypes, Six Ways to Dominate
Each Spellcaster introduces a distinct gameplay identity that shapes deck-building strategies and battlefield dynamics:
The Swamp Witch
A master of swarm tactics and expendable summons, ideal for late-game dominance.
The Astral Monk
A burst-damage specialist who thrives on fast-paced, aggressive spellplay.
The Iron Sorcerer
Focused on structure-based strategies and lane control through durable units.
The Fire Elementalist
Built for mobile players and explosive combat, cycling fire spells and pushing aggressive pressure.
The Mystic Scribe
A support expert who excels in sustainability and team-oriented builds.
The Stone Shaman
A defensive powerhouse designed to control space, fortify lanes, and maintain battlefield stability.
With such varied archetypes, every deck composition feels meaningful, empowering players to experiment and build around their Spellcaster’s natural strengths.
A Collaborative Journey Toward Early Access
This first Closed Beta marks the beginning of a multi-phase testing roadmap. Quantic Dream has already confirmed a second Closed Beta for early next year, featuring:
- Additional Spellcasters
- New arenas
- More spells, creatures, and buildings
- Expanded incantation systems
- Evolving world and narrative elements shaped by community feedback
As the studio refines gameplay balance, combat pacing, and technical stability, player insights will directly influence the title’s evolution leading up to Early Access.
Quantic Dream’s Vision: A Game Built Together with the Community
Gregorie Diaconu, Game Director of Spellcasters Chronicles, emphasized the significance of this milestone:
“Spellcasters Chronicles thrives on adaptation, creativity, and team synergy. Opening the servers for the first time is the beginning of a dialogue—we want players to experiment, surprise us, and help shape this experience. This is the start of a shared journey.”
The Closed Beta is just the opening chapter of what promises to be a collaborative and evolving adventure.
