Etheria Restart, Immersive 3D Game, Seeks CBT Participants

XD Inc.'s upcoming 3D turn-based gacha game, Etheria: Restart, is launching its global Closed Beta Test (CBT). Registration is open now for a chance to explore a futuristic metropolis teetering on the brink of collapse after a global freeze plunged humanity into a digital dream.

Etheria: Restart CBT Dates:

The Etheria: Restart CBT runs from January 9th, 11:00 AM to January 20th, 11:00 AM (UTC+8). This is a data-wipe test, meaning all progress will be reset after the CBT concludes. The test will be cross-platform, allowing seamless data synchronization between mobile and PC.

Gameplay Overview:

Following a catastrophic global freeze, humanity's survival hinges on uploading consciousness to the digital sanctuary known as Etheria. However, Etheria is also home to the Animus, beings powered by Anima energy. Their once-harmonious coexistence is shattered by the Genesis disaster, corrupting the Animus and turning them hostile.

Players become Hyperlinkers, protectors of humanity within this virtual realm. Their mission: unravel Etheria's dark secrets and secure the survival of all its inhabitants.

Powered by Unreal Engine, Etheria: Restart offers turn-based strategic combat with extensive team-building options. Experiment with character synergies, skill combinations, and strategic thinking to outmaneuver opponents.

Each Animus boasts a unique Prowess system and access to nearly 100 Ether Module sets, enabling players to customize combat styles. Engage in intense one-on-one PvP duels or tackle challenging PvE content.
