We will also be showing off some action combat in our next Live Stream, scheduled for August 17th, at 2PM PDT on our Twitch.

Intrepid’s Growth Continues

As we begin to ramp up for our upcoming Alphas and Betas, last month the studios officially passed 100 developers on the project and beginning this month we will be announcing 21 new positions at Intrepid Studios.

Mounts, VFX and Statues OH MY!

A lot of work goes into creating a world as massive as Ashes! Check out some of the awesome concepting on mounts and the subtle genetic variations you will be able to breed through your Animal Husbandry profession.

Mounts

A glimpse of the powers you will harness in Ashes.  Wonders of the elements, radiance of light and the darkness of corruption.

Spells

Verra is a world rich with history and lore waiting to be discovered.  Across the vast lands that await you, giants of the fallen civilizations that came before, remain.

We will be detailing this phase further in our next stream and at our Panel.

Phase Two of Alpha One, which will be accessible near the beginning of 2nd Quarter 2019, will feature our Hybrid Combat testing of Action/Tab skills that players will be able to customize through their class skill tree.  In addition, this phase will include;
