Stardock today announced a limited-time Public Multiplayer Demo Playtest for Ashes of the Singularity II, running September 8-14, 2026 on Steam.
Players will be able to command either the United Earth Forces (UEF) or the Post-Human Coalition (PHC) across a selection of multiplayer maps, battling other commanders head-to-head or joining forces in team matches.
Since the game's Steam Next Fest demo, the development team has continued refining Ashes of the Singularity II based on player feedback, with improvements across gameplay, balance, performance, and multiplayer.
"We learned a lot from players during our Steam Next Fest demo, and we've continued to refine and improve Ashes of the Singularity II based on that feedback," said Adrian Wright, Vice President of Entertainment at Stardock. "This playtest gives us the opportunity to put those improvements to the test while focusing on multiplayer performance, balance, and stability ahead of release. We're looking forward to getting more players into matches and seeing how the game holds up at scale."
Playtest Features Available:
- Two playable factions: United Earth Forces and Post-Human Coalition
- Head-to-head competitive multiplayer
- Team-based multiplayer
- Runs September 8-14, 2026
