ZEDx Alpha Testing: Full Steam Ahead in 2025
We’re kicking off 2025 with energy and momentum as ZEDx takes another big step forward. Late last year, our first Alpha Test brought together a small group of 20 dedicated testers. For a full week, they explored the game and provided thorough, actionable feedback. This input is now driving updates to the alpha site, setting the stage for the next phase.
Alpha 2 is just around the corner, and it’s bigger and better. This next phase will bring a larger group of testers to provide broader perspectives, alongside upgraded UI/UX for a smoother and more polished experience. With new testing objectives, participants will dive deeper into gameplay, helping us refine core mechanics and features.
This will be a pivotal year for ZEDx, and we’re bullish about what’s ahead. This is the year ZEDx moves out of Beta and into the hands of players everywhere. While this is a fresh game, we’ve woven in plenty of elements/easter eggs to pay tribute to the legacy of ZED RUN, creating a bridge between old and new.
If you’ve been invited to join Alpha 2, check your email, review the details, and sign your NDA to secure your spot. To everyone else, get ready for what’s coming next—we’re building something bold and it’s worth the wait.
