RavenQuest to Host Public Stress Test for Fortune's Frontier This Sunday
Written with artificial intelligence.
Tavernlight Games is set to conduct a public stress test for the new Fortune's Frontier mode in RavenQuest on Sunday, October 11, 2026, at 10:00 AM PT. The test will focus on the new Map Sharding and Channel Scalability system, allowing players to experience the extraction mode before its official launch on October 16.
Public Stress Test Details
This Sunday, October 11, 2026, at 10:00 AM PT, players of RavenQuest will have the opportunity to participate in a public stress test for the Fortune's Frontier mode. This session is particularly crucial as it aims to evaluate the new Map Sharding and Channel Scalability system, designed to efficiently manage large crowds in shared map regions. The test is expected to last approximately two hours, but all progression will be wiped prior to the official launch on October 16.
How to Participate
To join the test, players can access the PTR Launcher, which is available through the DevBlog. It's advisable to download the launcher ahead of time, although a new update may be required right before the test begins. Current RavenQuest and Fortune's Frontier accounts will work for the test; however, players should note that accounts created after Saturday night may not be accessible during the event.
What to Expect
This event is not a complete showcase of the game mode but rather a chance to stress-test the technology under significant player loads. Tavernlight Games encourages players to invite friends and fill the islands, with the goal of identifying potential issues and making adjustments before the official launch. Players should be prepared for bugs and unfinished elements, as this is beta software.
