More Ascension Times, Eternal Rotation and Extra Spires Levels!

Hey everyone, we’ve got some exciting changes to share to end Closed Beta with a bang. We’re adding another day of Ascension, more floors to climb in Spires and rotating our Eternal Item Sets. (Two sets are leaving, two are returning).

Closed Beta will end at Midnight PT (between Sunday and Monday) on July 27th. So, there are only a few more days for you to grind out the last items in your Collection and pick up your exclusive cosmetics! The three Book Rewards from Closed Beta won’t be available again in the future, so grab them while you can!

More Ascension Times

We love Ascension and we know many of you do too! So, for players in Europe, South America and North America, we’re adding an extra Ascension day. You can now play Ascension on Friday, Saturday, AND Sunday during specific windows. Check out the times below.

July 24, 25, 26 - (Friday, Saturday, Sunday)

• Europe| 7PM - 11PM BST / 8PM - 12AM CEST / 6PM - 10PM UTC
• South America | 8PM - 12AM BRT & ADT / 11PM - 3AM UTC
• North America | 8PM - 12AM EDT / 5PM - 9PM PDT / *12AM - 4AM* UTC (*UTC on the following day)*

July 25, 26 - (Saturday, Sunday)

*Note: lower MMR matches may include bot teams.*

Eternal Item Set Rotation

We’re shaking up the meta by rotating two Eternal Item Sets out, with two sets returning. Leodin and Ravah****will be leaving us. Grimwold and Tsu’bo will be returning.

This is something that we’ll do periodically to help keep things fresh.

5 More Spires Floors

We’re adding five more floors to Spires. Originally you could climb to Floor 5, as of today, you’ll be able to climb to Floor 10 and earn even more pages. This should help you grind out your Closed Beta Collection before it ends on Sunday. You can see the updated page-progression per floor below.

Pages Per Floor

Floor 1- 50

Floor 2 - 75 (+1 attempt)

Floor 3 - 100

Floor 4 - 125 (+1 attempt)

Floor 5 - 150

Floor 6 - 175 (+1 attempt)

Floor 7 - 200

Floor 8 - 225 (+1 attempt)

Floor 9 - 250

Floor 10 - 500

This is a total of 1,850 pages if you make it all the way to the top!

Other Updates

• We fixed an Xbox Presence issue for PC Insiders, allowing them to see when friends are online.
• Your selected matchmaking region will now persist between sessions.
• Game mode availability now updates when regional queue data refreshes, showing when queues are open in other regions.

Have Fun!!
