Watch the first video in our Mirage character class series! We start by learning about the instruments of death used by the Vypress.

The Vypress is a deadly assassin, wielding two blades and a throwable chakram to tear foes apart while taking advantage of evasive abilities such as the high-flying “Pounce” and the teleportation-like “Phase", along with many more lethal skills.
Read about this character's development in our two previous blogs:
We're going to start doing regular media updates showing off various features in Mirage as we work towards our Beta and full release in 2017. This time: our exchange-based combat system.
Melee battles in Mirage use an exchange system; a player starts an action, taking the Initiative, and the opponent is able to respond to this action with a variety of options and may be able to claim the Initiative for themselves. Depending on the course of a fight, there may be several exchanges back and forth with melee attacks & defense, magic abilities, or evasive actions. Each fight relies on your own actions and those of your opponent... and those of your allies and multiple opponents!

Mirage Closed Alpha Test Begins - Announcement and FAQ
The Mirage: Arcane Warfare Public Closed Alpha begins today!
The Alpha, starting September 2016, will provide select participants with the opportunity to playtest Mirage and provide feedback to help shape the direction of the game as we move towards its release in early 2017.
We are gradually adding new participants into the Alpha, based on our list of registered members from our sign-up on MirageArcaneWarfare.com.
The first phase of the Alpha, starting now, will be for a limited time and with a small pool of participants. Subsequent phases will differ in time and volume of participants.
I didn't get a key! How do I get in? If you have not been invited to the Alpha yet, please be patient and we will hope to get you a key in the near future. We cannot guarantee that all registrants will get a key, but we are working to include as many dedicated testers as possible.
Can I pay to get in? No, the Alpha is free and limited to registrants. Access is limited to registrants on MirageArcaneWarfare.com. This is our opportunity to get people volunteering their time to playtest Mirage, providing us with feedback so we can iterate on our development of Mirage as we move towards launch.
How long will the Alpha last? The first phase of the Alpha will run from 9/29 to 10/3, with more phases to follow throughout the rest of 2016. The Alpha does not yet have a determined end date.
The Closed Alpha is under a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA). What does the NDA mean? Anyone with access to the Closed Alpha is encouraged to play Mirage and provide feedback directly to developers in our member-only forum. For those who are now participating in the Closed Alpha, visit forums.tornbanner.com to provide us with your essential feedback in the private Closed Alpha subcategory. As per the terms of the NDA, Closed Alpha participants are not allowed to share any information about Mirage outside of that member-only forum.
When will the Beta begin? The Beta will begin in early 2017. We will provide more details in the near future about how players can gain access to the Beta. It will not be under NDA.
I registered for the “Beta” on your website. Am I in the Alpha? If you previously registered with your email address on MirageArcaneWarfare.com for what we were calling the “Beta” (prior to August 2016), then yes, you are in our Alpha registration list.
I have questions that aren’t answered here! Please leave a post in our forums and we’ll get back to you.
