We’ve been keeping a couple of eyeballs on PvPvE extraction RPG Seekers of Skyveil as it’s moved through alpha playtesting over the last year – and now, it’s pushing on to closed beta. Elodie Games will kick off the new phase of testing in September, following another round of closed alpha for North America August 8th and 9th.
“In a genre dominated by first-person shooters and grim-dark military sims, Seekers of Skyveil brings a fresh take to the extraction lineup,” the studio says. “With gameplay that’s easy to learn and hard to master, it offers an approachable entry to a genre that’s often intentionally opaque, without sacrificing the depth needed for players to invest countless hours in the experience. Drawing inspiration from MOBAs, battle royales, and hero shooters, Seekers of Skyveil favors fast-paced action over the volatile, inconsistent combat pacing often found in other extraction games. At the center of the action is our Seekers, heroes with unique aesthetics, playstyles, and personalities. Play as a tanky living tree, joyful bunny-girl healer, artistic ice mage, and more.”
The beta heralds the addition of another new hero, Strix, a “deadly owl archer with sniper-like range and high attack damage,” which will bring the roster to nine “with more to come.” Signups for all the tests are a quick click on Steam.
