Ashes of Creation is an open world MMORPG set in a fantasy environment where you can choose different classes and races to adventure through with your friends. Intrepid Studios is the developer behind the game. They’re technically an indie studio, but their creative director Steven Sharif has a clear vision for his video game: Massively Multiplayer Role Playing Game. He wants to put the massive back in MMO. Exploring dungeons, griding for gear, crafting armor/weapons, learning new spells, and competing in large scale PvP battles. High end PvE such as raids will mainly occur in the open world. Bosses will spawn and roam through the land. Are YOU ready to enter the world of Verra?

The game will launch in Q1-2026
Xillin is 100% over compensating for something.
It will probably be 2026, as we just don't have the information on how far along they are. So, we need to guess lol. Seeing the progress they have been making though does make me think of how much more they could do in 2 years…..making me guess 2026 lol
I wish the economy was stable enough I could choose my diet as well. The off brand stuff is more than name brand was 2 or 3 years ago. Not even going into full on actual diets like Mediterranean or something.
No way it lasts less than a year and a half.
From what weve seen, what we know, barely anything is done.
Nodes arent ready, weve been seeing just one map so far and not even much of it, we have seen 0 in terms of dungeons or raids, 0 naval content, almost nothing in terms of crafting, no 200 vs 200 people server stability tech proven, etc
Its likely A2 will be delayed to late Q4 2024 or even Q1 2025.
Best case game releases late 2026.
Which is just fine.
A good game being released after a pong time will be a success that came after a long time.
A bad game released early will be a flop forever. 0:02
hahaha that ending was great, actually made me laugh out loud
personally I think alpha 2 will be pretty long, 2 years at least, leaning more towards 3 years
Steven said a while ago that they will consider a zone alpha 2 ready when its about 60% complete. Alpha 2 wont even have all the zones available, so I assume that the zones they arent planning on having featured in the alpha 2 will lag behind even that 60% mark.
Its also depending on how well people receive what is shown, if people dislike some stuff, those things have to be reworked, postponing the launch even furterh. I am sure Intrepid has some leeway planing for potential reworks. But even if people like all the systems, love the combat, love the content, I still dont see them completing the world from 60% complete to 100% complete in less than 2 years.
I hope I am wrong, since I think anything over a year for alpha 2 will be really bad for the game longterm.
Great video as always !
I am betting 1.5 years for A2, thats a realistic time for most things to be implemented.
hey man honestly love your content, so excited to watch this channel grow and follow you into the alpha. would love to group up and run some dungeons or rob some caravans to insure our economic prevalence! keep up the amazing work, your effort is appreciated!♥
Btw, perfect choice of music for the bespoke series 🙂
i gonna say release early-mid 2026!
I was wrong about when Alpha 2 is going to be dropping because like Mark I thought they were going to have a bit more confidence in themselves and understand that the whole point of the alpha is to be the one to do the testing for all the systems and shit and that the spot testing wouldn't need to be more than a few months with them maybe a month or two of adjusting Things based on the spot testing so that it doesn't instantaneously break but I guess we underestimated how fucking terrified they were of the brain-dead idiots who don't understand what an alpha is complaining again like they did with Alpha One
At least a year but if you start talking 2 or 3 years when it can be streamed and is out there for all to see if it is too long people will start to drop off and find other things. I honestly think there is a line they have to walk to maintain expectations. Steven has said time and time again they do not want to show us much of the content as they want it to be a surprise. This is why we have not seen any other zones because they want it to be discovered through A2 and build hype towards the eventual launch with all of the new areas revealed. The whole world may only be opened up during the beta phases just to try and keep a lid on some of the content.
I know this is by far the most ambitious MMO ever undertaken and it is only in recent years they have had the dev numbers to create more content faster, but Steven has been saying for years that they are only showing us a tiny fraction of what they have created.
Anyway, that's my opinion.
lol 2 days in the middle of the work week not on the weekend
I'm glad that the severs won't be "online" constantly through A2.. That does make it sound like it's going to last a while. Stretch it out while mitigating the risk of burn out. Maybe a year.
Considering the game has technically been in alpha for years already, I really don't see A2 taking more than 6 months but what do I know. Beta probably no more than half of that.
We really just don't know the exact extent of what's done and what's being tweaked and polished so we will see!
Anything longer than 1 year of A2 is unrealistic and a poor business decision. A2 is a Q&A with all major systems in place that they have planned to have at launch.
I want a Narc opinion cmon man where's the cope
