Circle Empires Rivals Multiplayer RTS Announces Open Beta this Weekend

The time is NOW for Circle Empires Rivals’ OPEN BETA WEEKEND! From now, Thursday March 19th until Sunday March 22nd you can grab a key from the official Discord and jump online for some FREE multiplayer Real-Time Strategy action!

You and your friends will take control of your own tiny kingdoms and conquer a world made of circles. Each one is overflowing with enemies to fight, monsters to hunt and loot to horde. Watch out though, as friends quickly turn to rivals…

If you’ve never played Circle Empires Rivals before, here’s just a few things that you can expect:

  • Fast-paced RTS goodness
  • Tons of different units, biomes, and buildings
  • Co-op and PvP across multiple different game modes
  • 25+ different faction leaders, ranging from Pumpkins to Dragons
  • Procedural generated maps that make each game feel different

And for those who’ve already tried Rivals, here’s a couple of changes from last beta period:

  • A bunch of balance changes
  • Advanced match settings. Want more banks per circle? You got it!
  • You can now send resources to your allies in need, or to your opponents as psychological warfare.

To get into the action:

  1. Go to the Iceberg Interactive Discord server: Discord.gg/IcebergInteractive
  2. Navigate to the #claim-a-key channel.
  3. Type .key — not !key, not ?key, not key — just .key
  4. Activate your steam key by going to Games > Activate a Product on Steam 
  5. Have fun!

Note: if it doesn’t work, you may have to enable “Allow direct messages from server members” in your Discord options. You can find this setting in Settings > Privacy & Safety.

And be sure to WISHLIST the game on Steam if you want to know as soon as it’s available!

Stay up to date with Circle Empires Rivals here:
Discord, Steam, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Twitch
