Honored to be speaking at GDC again. It’s always been a place where developers openly share what they’ve learned so we can all build better games, and I’ve been grateful to be part of that community over the years.

Items are central to Arkheron's gameplay. Love seeing this deep dive into the Shattered System!

Heroes are dead. In Arkheron, you drop into the Tower as a blank slate and build your kit from the items you loot. Every weapon, crown, and amulet changes your role, and the strongest teams adapt as the match evolves.

Our Arkheron playtest continues this weekend. We have already hit new milestone with 2,000 players online yesterday and 40,000 viewers on Twitch today. These are small numbers compared to our Blizzard days but they are absolutely huge for our team. We are ready to earn them!

Arkheron is a new team based pvp game where 15 teams of three fight to Ascend a mysterious tower. Your team will work together to collect items, combine their powerful abilities and create unique builds on the fly to be the last team standing.

It was fun walking down memory lane with @arstechnica and chatting about Warcraft 3. Still one of the best development experiences I've had. arstechnica.com/features/202…
