Deadman Summer Finals
The Deadman Summer Finals begin on Saturday 23rd June at 1pm BST. Ahead of its launch we’ll be conducting a playtest today at 2pm BST (in just a few hours).
It’s worth noting that the purpose of the beta playthrough is to determine that the mechanics in-game work as expected, and it’s not an opportunity to practise and refine your game plan. As such, we’re opting to go ahead with the usual open first-come first-served policy to ensure that the world will be at capacity and allows us to gather the best possible feedback. All of the information you need can be found below:
We’ve changed the appearance of the arena section of the Permadeath Stage to better reflect the seasonality of the Summer Finals.
The playthrough specifics:
The beta playthrough will take place on Thursday 21st June at 2pm BST (9am EST).
The playthrough is going to be held on World 400.
The world will be accessible from 2pm BST (9am EST) and you will be given 15 minutes to login and prepare.

We’ll also be testing our new contingency measures. For more information we recommend that you read the Contingency Planning section of the Deadman Summer Finals article. We will be intentionally kicking players offline and pausing gameplay at various points of this playthrough, so read the article to make sure you aren’t taken by surprise!
