(Added spoiler warning for new players, personally feel it's really important as a Wiki would've ruined how much fun I had during my first playtest) |

As of 2023, it has been confirmed by Chao that Soul's Remnant is designed to be a game that will only be available to play for a short time every year. This means that for the foreseeable future, there is no intended "full release" for the game. To better emphasize this decision, as well as mark the game's move to the Godot 4 engine, the 2023 Playtest for Soul's Remnant has been renamed to be Soul's Remnant Season 1. Whilst player progress is reset every year, there are permanent leaderboards that will forever mark your achievements in game. This decision allows for the game to provide unique mechanics that could not be possible in the typical live MMO environment. For example; during the 2022 Playtest, players were able to permanently affect Boss Monster behavior for the entire duration of the test by meeting certain requirements. As such, it is currently recommended to view Soul's Remnant Seasons as something akin to a yearly Minecraft run with new mods and mechanics, rather than a beta or preview for something "more" to come. | |||
