Hi everyone,





The team here at Ready At Dawn would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to you for participating in our second open beta. It’s been great hanging out with you in the lobby, seeing your feedback on Discord , the Echo Arena subreddit , and the Oculus forums, and getting our butts whooped by you in the arena!





Monday, July 17th! To add to the awesome news announced earlier today ( Oculus Rift + Touch sale and our recently revealed Lone Echo launch trailer ), we’re also happy to share our decision to extend the final Echo Arena Open Beta until





As many of you know, our goal for this open beta was to further test some major network updates we made, our skill-based matchmaking, and our first iteration of the Echo Arena Party system. We definitely got the backend service testing we needed (still recovering from being hugged a little too hard), however during that time our devs were re-routed to debug and resolve those errors, which put the Party system on hold.





This extended open beta period will give the Echo Arena dev team time to further improve our backend services, and players to test out and provide feedback on the Party system. Additionally, you’ll get more time in Echo Arena to prep for launch day and hone your skills for the VR Challenger series, which we’ll be sharing more info about before too much longer.





Thank you again for all the support you’ve given us! We can’t wait to dive back into the arena with you over the next week, and again at launch on July 20th.



- Ready At Dawn
