The alpha has already started, and anyone who purchases a Steam package can gain access by either submitting a ticket on our Discord or contacting us through the website chat. Just provide your order number and email address

The alpha will last at least until August 10th.

The closed beta is scheduled to begin at the end of November 2025.

Secret Forest is an open-world MMORPG that invites you to explore a vast and magical universe. Choose your race and forge your own path as you battle challenging enemies, uncover ancient secrets, learn different professions and form alliances with players from around the world.

The game will be released on PS5, Xbox Series S/X, Steam, and Nintendo Switch 2 (Next-Gen Nintendo Console). A later release for high-end mobile devices is also planned.

The game will have 10 playable races. 6 of these will always be free, while 4 will be paid after the official launch of the game.

There are two factions: Light (elves, fairans, doggies, axolotls, foxys) and Darkness (goblins, embears, catties, trolls, aquans).

There are no predefined classes. Players have the freedom to choose weapons and magical elements, with a skill tree to define their role

The game will have at least 12 diverse biomes.

Yes, there will be pets. Mounts will include ground, flying, and hybrid types.

No, local cooperative play will not be available.

There will be multiple servers, but players will be able to migrate their characters between them for a small fee.

No, your progress and items will be preserved.

Players can customize their race, body type, fatness, height, musculature, skin colors, hair, beard, mustache, facial features, and more.

After the closed beta, access will be free. The game will have microtransactions that don't affect gameplay, such as cosmetic items, and some races will be paid.

Yes, we plan to have constant content updates as well as expansions in the future.

Yes, it is an open-world game that can be played entirely solo or with a party.

No, the game does not feature autoplay.

The zodiac sign you select when creating your character will directly influence their starting statistics, as well as their basic and passive abilities. This means the constellation you choose will play a significant role in shaping your character's overall playstyle and potential.

Your character's zodiac sign will provide unique benefits and drawbacks that will impact how you play the game. For example, a character born under a particular sign might have higher starting strength but lower magic resistance

While character races will offer a variety of cosmetic options to customize your character's appearance, they will not provide any gameplay advantages or disadvantages. In other words, if a player doesn't have access to a specific race, it won't hinder their ability to progress in the game.

The Closed Beta for that platform will be postponed until its launch.

At least a couple of months, and it could be extended up to half a year.

This is because we are currently completing the legal processes to release our game on those platforms and make it available for pre-order directly through them. At the moment, it can only be purchased through the official website. It’s likely that when the game becomes available for pre-order on the platforms, the packages and prices will change.

There isn’t an exact date yet, but as we get closer to the Closed Beta launch, the packages and prices may change.

Yes, but only for cosmetic benefits.

No.

Yes.

You’ll be able to play with friends using the game on any of the supported platforms. Additionally, if you gain access by purchasing another Beta pass for a different platform, you’ll be able to log in with the same account and play from that platform. For example, someone could log into their account from a PS5 and Steam and play with friends on Xbox and Switch 2.

When making the purchase, the package and its platform are linked to the email used for the transaction. A few days before the launch of the Closed Beta, the activation codes for downloading the game, etc., will be sent to the respective emails.

The reason it hasn’t been announced for Switch 1 is that we’re not sure it will run well once the game is finished, without compromising its performance or graphics. For now, the game is confirmed for Switch 2, and if it happens to run well on Switch 1, it will be announced at the appropriate time, but it’s quite unlikely.

No, PvP zones will be optional. In fact, different types of PvP will be created, but the rewards will be things that can be obtained by playing solo.

No, the game is played on company servers, but you can complete the entire game playing solo.

Yes, you can sell various items, weapons, and raw and refined materials for professions.

5 people.

Anyone who has taken at least 10% of their total energy, or in the case of being in a party, all party members within range of that enemy.

The game will have ranks, an innovative system that seeks to allow players with a lot of playtime to match their gameplay with players who have little playtime, so you can always play with your friends.

You can carry 3 weapons at a time but switching between them will consume stamina.

There will be 8 elements each with its own skill tree and we can equip up to 3 elements and their magics.

Dynamic with movements like dash, roll, parry, soft hit, hard hit, combos and unique abilities that consume stamina for each weapon.

We would love for the game to run successfully on the current Switch. The current focus is on ensuring it runs smoothly on the next Nintendo console. If, once complete, we manage to make it run correctly on the current Switch without compromising graphics or FPS, then we will announce it. However, if not, it will be as planned and promised for the next Switch 2. And if the next Switch 2 is delayed, then the closed beta for Switch 2 will also be delayed accordingly.
