Final CBT? & EVEN MORE New Units!

With Etheria: Restart heating up fast, the Tokyo Game Show (TGS) trailer just dropped a whole new wave of hype. From fresh character reveals and slick animations to exclusive beta news and massive marketing efforts, XD Entertainment is clearly going all-in on this project. If you’ve been eagerly waiting to dive into this vibrant new world, let’s break down everything you need to know from the latest updates—trust me, there’s a lot to get excited about!

Right from the first frame, the second TGS trailer for Etheria: Restart shows off some serious polish. Animations are cleaner, characters move with style, and there’s a real sense that the game is inching toward completion. According to Zox (the video’s creator), we’re approaching the tail end of development. There are still a few final steps before the official release, but it’s clear the devs are now locking things in and prepping for launch.

But before the big day arrives, there’s one more test phase—and it’s going to be very exclusive.

That’s right, the final closed beta for Etheria: Restart is happening soon, and only 100 lucky players will get in. This limited testing phase isn’t about stress-testing servers—it’s all about ironing out those final bugs, smoothing gameplay, and making sure everything is primed for launch. If you’ve participated in larger betas before, this is a different beast entirely: small, focused, and likely filled with game-changing tweaks.

Recruitment for this elite testing phase is already underway, and selections will be revealed on March 24. If you’re eager to get hands-on experience, now’s the time to get involved.

Etheria: Restart’s roster is shaping up to be something truly special. The video highlights some returning characters with revamped visuals and animation improvements—like the familiar female unit who now looks even better thanks to subtle design enhancements. But it’s the new faces that really steal the show.

Say hello to:

• Rahu – A mysterious new face, teased briefly in a previous video, but now showcased in more detail. He’s got an enigmatic presence and a killer design.
• Lian – Formerly known by another name, this fan-favorite has officially been renamed and refreshed.
• Viper – Debuting in the Arena screen, Viper’s introduction is especially exciting because it hints at a new Arena mode where duplicate characters don’t factor in—a unique twist that could really shake up PvP.
• DokiDoki – Originally introduced as a boss, DokiDoki is now being reimagined as a playable unit. Her art? Absolutely stunning, she oozes personality and charm. And the devs are planning to give other bosses similar treatment—turning memorable enemies into fan-favorite units.
• Xiada – A powerhouse support character from earlier CBTs, Xiada is expected to remain a dominant force moving forward.
• Valerian – A brand-new reveal, Valerian hasn’t been shown before and she’s already making waves. Stylish, unique, and perfectly in line with Etheria: Restart’s signature aesthetic.

Together, these characters represent Etheria: Restart’s growing identity—a roster that’s not just beautiful, but filled with personality, lore potential, and gameplay diversity.

Etheria: Restart didn’t just show up at TGS—it made a statement. The game’s booth was massive, decked out with vibrant posters, glowing lights, and rows of demo stations. More importantly, it confirmed a major piece of info fans have been asking for: controller support is a go.

Whether you prefer a gamepad or classic mouse and keyboard, Etheria: Restart will cater to your preferred playstyle.

And let’s talk about that cosplay! Characters like Xiada and DokiDoki came to life thanks to professional cosplayers at the event. It’s a testament to how much XD Entertainment is investing in the game’s marketing—and a big nod to its growing global appeal. This isn’t just a flashy trailer drop. It’s a full-blown push to get players excited and immersed in the world of Etheria: Restart.

One of the standout points made in the video is Etheria: Restart’s ability to balance high-end visuals with originality. While comparisons to games like Honkai: Star Rail are inevitable, Etheria: Restart carves its own path with unique character designs that feel more in line with Dislyte’s bold and unconventional aesthetic.

What’s more, the developers are listening. They’ve taken player feedback seriously—scrapping features that didn’t work and doubling down on elements that add value. It’s a refreshing sign of a team that’s building a game with the community, not just for it.

With stunning animations, a roster full of distinct characters, and a dev team that’s clearly firing on all cylinders, Etheria: Restart is poised to make a major splash. The final beta is just around the corner, and judging by what we’ve seen at TGS, we’re in for something special.
