Ashes of Creation features story arc systems and a spooky tower, and claims Alpha 2 is “not years away”.

We’re just entering the month of April, which means that ashes of creation has released another monthly development livestream for March to keep fans updated on where the FFA PvP sandbox is in terms of development and its slow march to Alpha 2. And the stream begins by addressing that elephant in the room. Type of.

A question from a YouTube commenter asks if the game’s next alpha phase is months or years away, prompting creative director Steven Sharif to provide a vague timeline while assuring viewers that Intrepid Studios is following an internal schedule. “We’re not years away from Alpha 2, but Alpha 2 isn’t right around the corner either,” he said. “We have made a promise to the community that we will no longer be giving out dates in the future unless we are very confident that we will honor those dates.”

Most of the stream related to another gameplay preview from Alpha 2 that showed the story and location of Carphin and the MMORPG’s story arc systems. Story arcs look very similar to public events in other MMOs in that they play out in specific zones and spawn unique monsters and quest NPCs, but they can also change the environment in a variety of ways. Both the full livestream and the Carphin quest preview await you below.
