2.0.0-beta5

Hello there! It’s time for another KYBER Beta Playtest update - and this one brings some big upgrades.

The team’s been working steadily behind the scenes, and today we’re rolling out a fresh set of improvements across the board. You can dive into all the details in the full Update Notes below.

We’re also expanding our support for players across the globe:

  • A new OCE Ping Site is now live

  • The EU Ping Site has moved to Germany from the Netherlands

  • The NA Central Ping Site has shifted to NA East

  • And a new NA West Ping Site is on the way soon

And yes - Wave Four is on the horizon. We expect to welcome around 6,000 new Playtesters, doubling the number invited in the previous Wave. We’ll share the exact start date soon - but preparations are already underway.

Updated map rotations on official servers - EU & NA East - will also be deployed in time for Wave Four.

Thanks as always for being part of this with us. You’re helping shape something special.
