(All the controls will be available at the start of the first round.) Finally, A FREE FLIGHT mode will be available. Additionally, ROOKIE mode will be only accessible until level 10 and the devs will be adding a SKIRMISH mode: a best of 5, 3v3 game mode, that will replace the ROOKIE mode for level 10 players and above. To start off, the game will be adding an MMR system to the queue to improve match balance and put same level players into the same games. The Century: Age of Ashes second closed beta will launch with the following changes and improvements including those to matchmaking, game modes, the Gates of Fire, and more. We appreciate everyone’s patience and can’t wait to see you in the skies.” “We’re a small team and we want Century to launch in Early Access in the best state possible. I think the community will really appreciate everything we’ve done to improve the game since the last closed beta.” said Pascal Barret, Playwing Bordeaux Art Director, and Studio Manager. We’ve been given a massive amount of feedback through Discord and social media about ways to improve the game. We saw so many players have fun and leave the weekend hungry for more dragon-riding combat. Playwing has also announced that the Century: Age of Ashes Early Access launch has been pushed back to the first week of April to allow the team to focus on game quality. Options to use real-world currency will not be available during this period. The team has also shared that the game’s cosmetic store will be open during the closed beta for players to spend their earned currency. Player progress from the first closed beta has been reset, but all experience, earned currency, and unlockables gained during the second closed beta will carry on to Early Access.

This next closed beta, running March 12-21, has been updated using community feedback and includes new matchmaking and game modes, improved controls, and a free flight system to allow new players to practice against the computer.

After a successful test weekend, Century: Age of Ashes developers have announced the dates for their second, much larger and longer, closed beta.
