Release schedule
I am happy to announce the dates for Alpha One testing. This schedule will include Alpha One testers for a 4-day stress test starting on December 18, 2020. Now this first test will remain under NDA, as there will still likely be some considerable polish and bug fixing necessary. I will of course provide some recorded footage of the event so the community at large can see the testing. The gap between the December test and the February test will provide our team with the time necessary to iterate and fix bugs, then in March we will aim to have a 1-week test stood up in preparation for the final month-long test in April.[25] – Steven Sharif
The Ashes of Creation release schedule is subject to change.[26]

As we set out into the new year, we have several internal milestones which remain unannounced that I am hopeful will represent significant leaps for the project and company as a whole. Additionally, we have 3 remaining Alpha One testing dates that will be coming up very soon.[27] – Steven Sharif
