On Friday, November 14, 2025, we conducted our Ashes of Creation October Development Update live on Twitch, featuring Creative Director Steven Sharif and Director of Communications Margaret Krohn.

This livestream showcased the soon-to-be-released Summoner archetype and dove deep into its design philosophy, some of the lore behind the archetype, and how it works gameplay-wise. During the stream, we announced that Ashes of Creation’s Alpha Two is coming to Steam as an Early Access title this December. For more information about Steam Early Access, check out our dedicated article. We also conducted a live Q&A, discussing the new archetype and addressing community feedback. 
 

Reminder: Ashes of Creation is an open and transparent development project, so you’ll see work-in-progress art, systems, and mechanics. Feel free to leave your feedback in the video comments or on our forums, and let us know what you think of these new additions!
