ZEDx Rollout Update: What’s Happening Behind the Scenes
We’ve noticed the chatter on Discord about the silence from the team, and we get it—waiting isn’t easy, especially when the stakes feel high. Here’s the thing: we’re not silent because we’ve gone quiet; we’re silent because we’re working.
Right now, we’re deep in Phase 1 and gearing up for Phase 2, with Phase 3 in sight for early next year. We paused bi-weekly AMAs because, without visuals or tangible updates, it felt more like noise than value. Instead, we’re holding off until there’s something relevant to share—something worth your time.
Here’s a quick recap of the ZEDx rollout plan:
Phase 1 – Internal Testing: The longest phase, where we’re stress-testing everything from small system functionalities to core gameplay mechanics. This is the foundation, and we’re making sure it’s solid.
Phase 2 – Alpha: Once internal testing signals are green, we’ll open the gates—slowly. Starting in early December, a small group of 20 ZED RUN players will begin testing, followed by a larger group of 100. You’ll help shape the experience by providing feedback on gameplay, usability, and engagement. Dates might shift slightly as we hit internal benchmarks, but this is where the community starts having a say.
Phase 3 – Closed Beta: Expected early next year. Think of it as the next layer of polish before heading into Phase 4 and beyond.
Phase 4 – Open Beta: When things get real. And finally...
Phase 5 – GTM (Go-to-Market): The big one.
We know the quiet stretches can be tough, but for those of you signed up for Alpha testing, hang tight—you’ll be in the loop soon and directly involved in shaping what’s to come.

Your patience fuels this process, and we’re committed to delivering something worth the wait.
