Axie Infinity: Atia’s Legacy, an upcoming massively multiplayer online (MMO) game set in the Axie universe of Lunacia, has announced that its highly anticipated Playtest 2 will officially launch on April 8, 2026.
Following the success of Playtest 1 – which ran from September to October 2025 for 1,000 selected community members – Playtest 2 was originally slated for mid-March but was shifted to April to allow the team more time for development and feature integration.
What to Expect in Playtest 2
According to the developers, this second testing phase introduces several major gameplay shifts and high-stakes mechanics designed to gather critical player feedback before a wider public release.
Key additions include:
- Risk-it-all Extraction Dungeon: A punishing new game mode where players who lose all their HP will lose their equipped items and face the potential of permanent Axie deletion, according to online platform Funjible Games. Because of the extreme risk involved, Sky Mavis is utilizing Playtest 2 to test the feature and gather community feedback before fully implementing it.
- Single Axie Control: This marks a significant departure from classic Axie Infinity mechanics. Instead of managing a squad of three Axies simultaneously—where strategy dictates card sequencing and team synergy—players will now directly control and command a single Axie in battle.
- Expanded Arsenal and Enemies: The update brings five new weapons and introduces new boss encounters to provide higher challenge levels for testers.
