Big 2025 Plans for the game

If you’ve been eagerly waiting for the next big update in Etheria: Restart, the wait is finally over. The developers have officially announced the recruitment phase for Closed Beta Test 3 (CBT3), and it’s packed with exciting opportunities, fresh content, and cross-platform functionality. Whether you’ve been part of the journey since CBT1 or you’re just now hearing the buzz, this is your chance to dive into the evolving world of Etheria before its global launch.

Let’s break down everything you need to know about the final beta, livestream reveals, and what the future holds for the game in 2025.

That’s right—Etheria: Restart is launching its final closed beta test, and this one is shaping up to be the most important phase yet. Running from January 9 to January 20, CBT3 will be open across iOS, Android, and PC, complete with full cross-platform data sync. Whether you start on your phone during a lunch break or continue on your PC at night, your progress will carry over seamlessly.

This phase isn’t just a rehash of CBT2. The dev team took extensive feedback from the community and implemented key improvements to gameplay, quality-of-life features, and more. Even better, new content not seen in previous tests will be included in CBT3—so there’s a lot to be excited about.

Getting into the test is super simple:

1. Visit the official global website for Etheria: Restart (completely updated, by the way—it looks amazing).
2. Click the “Register Now” button.
3. Enter your email and phone number (with your country selected).
4. Accept the terms and hit confirm.

Boom—you’re in. The site also provides all the platform-specific download links (Android, iOS TestFlight, and PC), and quick access to their official social media channels: Twitter, YouTube, Discord, Facebook, and Twitch.

Pro tip: Follow them on all platforms to stay ahead of the curve. There’s a lot coming, and you won’t want to miss a thing.

Mark your calendars for January 3—the Etheria: Restart CBT Direct is going live! This event will stream on YouTube, Twitch, and Discord, and it’s going to give us a closer look at what’s coming in CBT3.

This is more than just a teaser stream. Watching live on YouTube will even give you a chance to win prizes. It’s an official presentation from “The Union,” the in-universe team bringing us this next phase of the game. Expect gameplay previews, development updates, and maybe even a few surprises.

Once CBT3 wraps up, the team isn’t slowing down. From January 23–26, Etheria: Restart will be showcased at the Taipei Game Show, a major international gaming event. This puts Etheria on the world stage—again—showcasing the game to an even broader audience.

It’s a huge move. And likely one of the final feedback checkpoints before we head into full launch territory. If you’re wondering whether CBT3 leads into global release, this public showing is a big indicator that we’re almost there.

A key takeaway from the update is just how much the developers and community managers care about player feedback. The Discord server is fully prepped with suggestion tabs, feedback forums, and direct interaction with the team.

One of the community managers, ZoxaskunX (Zox), emphasized how this test is meant to be fair and open, ensuring everyone gets the chance to experience the changes and give input. The devs aren’t just creating a game—they’re shaping it with us.

And there’s more: Zox revealed plans to bring on a roster of content creators to share their experiences and insights from CBT3. This will help showcase the game from multiple perspectives and keep the content flow lively and engaging for the entire community.

The key message from the team is crystal clear: they’re building a player-first game. This isn’t just about flashy graphics or cool characters (though Etheria has plenty of those). It’s about creating a game that people love playing—and one that players genuinely help shape.

So if you’re passionate about mobile strategy RPGs with deep systems, stylish visuals, and tight community engagement, now is the perfect time to hop on board.

Etheria: Restart is ramping up for an unforgettable 2025. CBT3 will be the final stress test, a content-rich, community-driven opportunity to experience the game before it hits the global stage.
