Well, well, well. Here we are, a little late but here regardless. The July Update beta just went live! This build will feature the news cards, and will have a little more than what initially meets the eye. The new Collection won't kick off until the full launch on the 31st, instead we'll be running double drops of the current collection, Skeeve's Curiosities.
This beta will include our Dedicated Servers! Be sure to hit us with your feedback and discuss the differences
How do I get in there?!
All you have to do is navigate to your Steam Library and locate Armello and do the following...
Right click Armello -> Properties -> Betas -> Select the open beta from the dropdown menu
This will download the beta version of Armello. Please be mindful that changing back will cause you to redownload the base game, if you're conscious of your downloads.
SUBMIT YOUR BUGS!
Please and thank you, you glorious individuals. Our QA team are the best of the best but anything can happen, so please be patient with us if you run into some weirdness. If something goes wrong, please submit an in-game bug report through the pause menu!
Edited: 26/07 PST
Known Issues
With the new server infrastructure, latency may fluctuate
An odd text string may appear when loading into the main menu for non-English languages
Rare NMA that may have to do with secret quests, we're currently investigating, send logs if you can!
If a queue fails to ready up the players will need to exit and queue again
Double Drops!
Where there was one, there will instead be TWO chests. This bonus applies to the three chests that you can earn daily, and not to Skeeve's freebie. Soak up that scrumptious loot and hopefully you catch yourself an Abbott's Eye in the process!
As with everything, chat it out with us and each other! Keen to hear your thoughts.
Cheers,
<3 Darcy & the all powerful LoG Squad
July Update Feature Reveal - New Collection
armello.com/updates
Another season comes to a close and new stars light across the sky.
Hello and welcome to the second feature reveal for the July Update landing on the 31st. The beta kicks off tomorrow, and naturally that's extremely relevant to what we're talking about today.
A NEW COLLECTION! *Thunder crashing in the distance*
That means all new dice will be dropping and the old collection will rotate out into the void. Fear not, Skin Fragments will continue to drop as they have been.
Throughout the beta, we'll be running double drops of the current collection, Skeeve's Curiosities, along with our dedicated servers. If you want to finish your collection whilst checkin' out the new tech, here's your chance!
Also, until further notice from this collection onwards, we will not be selling chests from the in-game store. The Steam Marketplace will still be active and dice will be tradable, but right as the collection drops you're going to have to EARN those cubes.
There we have it folks! The beta will kick off tomorrow so prepare yourself.

July Feature Reveal - New Cards
armello.com/updates
Greetings and Welcome!
Here's the first feature reveal of the July update landing on the 31st! Kick off the celebrations and remember that the beta kicks off on the 24th - so you'll be able to get your hands on these juicy cards early if you're keen!
"Forget those jewel encrusted twigs. A good blade should hurt just to look at."
A reliable weapon never goes astray, and I'm sure this sword will come to be extremely useful... when you're broke. As it looks, this item is common in the the Item deck.
Leave no weakness unexploited. Etiquette demands you demonstrate mistakes. Viciously.
Your relationship with the Wyld means nothing if you have a cunning plan.
Hope you dig the new additions! Feel free to discuss below, and hold on tight for news about the second feature of this update.
Cheers,
<3 Darcy & the LoG Squad
EDIT: Updated incorrect Reliable Short Sword image. The gold cost is zero.
The July Update Emerges on the 31st.
Gather friends, the July Update beta commences on the 24th, and it launches on the 31st.
armello.com/updates
The months tick by and the time is upon us again! The July Update is inbound and will land on the final day of July, just in time. Please note that this will be the last major update before the glorious and anticipated v2.0. Fear not, we'll still be here - we just likely won't be announcing more additions and features for a few months.
Be sure to jump into the beta from the 24th, as there will be double drops for the whole duration. This means that you'll gain an extra chest every time you are granted one post-game.
We'll also be trialling our dedicated servers in this beta - of which we're making improvements in leaps and bounds, so please submit bugs and feedback when you get a chance!
May the Wyld guide your rolls.
<3 Darcy & the LoG Squad

The Dedicated Server Beta is Live!
Welcome!
I know, I know, you heard from us not too long ago and the other beta just finished up, WELL I come to you now with a glorious announcement. We’ve been working on something huge behind the scenes for a while now, Dedicated Servers for multiplayer! And guess what? The Dedicated Server beta is live right now!
What’s all this then?!
This is a fundamental rejigging of our back-end multiplayer infrastructure, paving the way for a new era of stability and juicy new features. This new logic sparked the creation of our new Multiplayer menu flow and recent changes to party queueing. Now that we’ve stripped it all back, we have the opportunity to build it all back up, hopefully implementing queue options along the way that all different players can get behind.
It’s important to know that there will be bugs! Once again, there will be bugs, BUT we’re going to fix ‘em. Also, please know that we may need to turn the beta off for periods of time to make improvements. We’ll do our best to keep you in the loop.
For more details and more technical insights, you’ll be hearing from our lead developer Karl, soon.
How to get into the Dedicated Server beta!
It’s live now, so all you have to do is navigate to your Steam Library, locate Armello and do the following...
