Fortune's Frontier Public Stress Test
Thursday, October 8, 2026
The wait is almost over! š„
Fortuneās Frontier Season 0 officially launches on October 16th, opening a brand-new seasonal PvPvE experience where every Adventurer begins fresh, explores the Pirate Isles, gathers treasure and equipment, and decides just how much they are willing to risk before making it safely back with their fortune!
Whether you are a longtime RavenQuest player or preparing to step into the world for the first time, Fortuneās Frontier is built to let everyone jump into the action quickly, compete on equal footing and experience a completely different side of RavenQuest.
If you havenāt caught up yet, read A First Look at Fortune's Frontier or watch the video below! š§
But before the Frontier officially opens, we need your help putting it to the test!
This Sunday, you are invited to enter Fortuneās Frontier and help us prepare for launch!
šļø Sunday, October 11th ć¼ 10:00 am PT / 14:00 BRT / 17:00 UTC
Everyone is welcome to participate. This will be an opportunity to get an early look at Fortuneās Frontier while helping us put some of the new tech behind the game under real-world pressure ahead of its launch.
How to Join
The Stress Test will take place on the Public Test Realm (PTR), and you will be able to log in using your existing RavenQuest/Fortune's Frontier account (no separate test account is required).
š Download the PTR Launcher Here
To prepare, simply download and install the PTR Launcher using the link above. Once the Stress Test begins, launch the PTR, log in with your account and enter Fortuneās Frontier.
If you donāt have an account yet, we strongly recommend creating one by Saturday night. The PTR will use an account backup taken around that time, so accounts created afterward may not be available for the Stress Test.
Please note that the Test is expected to last around 2 hours, and all progression will be wiped before the official launch.
One of the most important systems being introduced alongside FF is the Map Sharding & Channel Scalability System.
Fortuneās Frontier is designed for large numbers of Adventurers to explore the same regions at once. To support that, regions of the map can be divided across multiple Channels, with the system dynamically scaling the available capacity based on the number of players currently active in that region.
As population increases, additional capacity can be introduced to help distribute players and maintain a smoother experience. As populations change, the system can adapt alongside them.
This Stress Test will give us an opportunity to push that technology under heavier player loads, monitor how it behaves, identify potential bottlenecks and make further adjustments ahead of launch.
So if the Frontier feels particularly crowded this Sunday, that is exactly what we want! š
It is important to remember that the version of Fortuneās Frontier available during the Stress Test is a beta build.
This test is not intended to be an extensive or complete preview of the Game Mode. Its primary purpose is to put the new system (explained above) under real player load and make sure it behaves correctly as populations grow, move between regions, and spread across different channels.
As this is a beta build, some systems, balance values and other elements may still feel unfinished or subject to change. You may encounter bugs, unexpected behavior or areas that are still receiving their final adjustments.
Every Adventurer who joins helps us gather valuable information about how Fortuneās Frontier performs at scale and gives the team another opportunity to refine the experience before launch.
The Stress Test is only a preview.
On October 16th, Fortuneās Frontier Season 0 officially begins, bringing fresh-start seasons, dangerous islands, treasure hunting, PvPvE encounters and an entirely new way to experience RavenQuest.
The core mode is designed around short-entry seasonal progression, escalating risk across the Pirate Isles and the constant decision of whether to push further or escape safely with what you have earned. More about the game mode, its seasonal structure and its rewards will be shared next week!
Until then, we need as many Adventurers as possible on the Frontier this Sunday.
Download the PTR. Bring your friends. Fill the islands. Break what you can.
Weāll see you in Fortuneās Frontier! āļø
