Jeremy Craig, the aforementioned game director, continues: &#8220;As soon as we unlocked that rotation, it started to play like something different.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube-video\" data-nosnippet >\n<div class=\"video-aspect-box\"><iframe data-lazy-priority=\"high\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/pGvVEjQf4gU\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The closed beta will run from July 15 to July 26.

If you happen to get invited, you&#8217;ll be able to bring your mates along, too: &#8220;When you get invited to playtest, you\u2019ll automatically be granted three Steam friend invites.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Spires, the game&#8217;s arena-like game mode, will run for the full two weeks\u2014but the competitive Ascension gamemode will only be available during limited tests on Friday and Sunday.
