The game is a team-based action strategy where players take on the role of a magic-wielding commander in 3v3 battles. Set in a world where gods have vanished, players become one of several “Spellcasters”—such as wizards, shamans, and mages—and fight to seize magical energy sources essential for casting spells.
Players select a character to fulfill one of three roles—support, tank, or attacker—and customize their deck from over 50 spells and summons across seven magic disciplines.

In gameplay, players summon large armies of monsters with distinct roles—such as skeleton warriors, orcs, and wyverns—and build towers and structures to control the battlefield. The objective is to destroy the enemy’s “Life Stone” within a 25-minute time limit.
By collecting wisps dropped when enemy units or spellcasters are destroyed, and by capturing altars, players level up and unlock upgrades. Additionally, dealing or receiving damage increases the “Titan Gauge.” When full, players can summon a powerful creature known as a “Titan,” capable of dramatically shifting the course of battle.
The game’s closed beta test is scheduled to launch on Steam before the end of 2025. As of this article’s writing (October 17, 2025, around 12:05), registration is currently available only for regions in Europe and North America, with English, German, and French as supported languages. However, Quantic Dream states that they plan to expand coverage to more regions as soon as possible. Interested players can sign up via the game’s official website or Steam.
