Quantic Dream has announced that Spellcasters Chronicles’ second Closed Beta runs from January 29 to February 2 and the game is launching into Early Access on February 26, 2026.
This announcement marks the beginning of the next phase of the game’s development, building on early community feedback gathered during the inaugural public test of December 2025.
To mark the beginning of this new phase, Quantic Dream has unveiled a new non-playable character: Ozdam Devam, known as the Chronicler of Ashkenon. A passionate historian of the Tapestry and expert in the workings of the Source, he stands above the endless conflicts of Ashkenon, recording the rise and fall of empires. As a mysterious in-world narrator, Ozdam Devam serves as the intermediary between the community of Spellcasters and the world of mortals, guiding all those destined to change the future of Ashkenon.
