Project ZETA’s First Global Steam Playtest Starts in Late June

KRAFTON and NIRVANANA Studio are opening Project ZETA to a wider audience this month with the game’s first global community test on Steam. The test is open worldwide, including North America, Europe, and Korea, and players can request access through the Steam page.

The announcement lists the playtest as running from June 25 to June 28 PT, though its headline text gives June 24 to June 27 PT. Either way, it’s a short late-June test ahead of a planned global Early Access launch in the second half of 2026.

Project ZETA is an online multiplayer tactical arena game built around four teams of three fighting on the same map. Matches revolve around an objective called the Prism, which teams need to secure and bring back to a designated point to win. So it’s not a standard two-team hero PvP setup. Fights can shift quickly as multiple squads collide or third-party each other.

The game uses third-person action combat with hero abilities, PvE progression, and PvP encounters. KRAFTON says the current build includes 14 heroes across four classes, plus controller support. Crossplay between PC and console is planned, but this community test is being handled through Steam.

This will be Project ZETA’s first large public test outside Korea. KRAFTON says feedback and gameplay data from the test will be used for balance and development work before Early Access later this year.
