Does beta progress carry over?
Select progress carries forward into the full game — but the Beta inventory resets at launch. Treat the Beta as a taste of combat and exploration, not a head-start farm.
The Open Beta was listed on Steam on June 5, 2026 (app ID 4711740). After the August 20 full release it remains downloadable for trying the game before buying.

Will my beta save work in the full game?
Only select progress carries over; the Beta inventory resets at launch by design.
