Play Ethernal Oath before anyone else. The Android beta installs outside the Play Store, through Firebase App Distribution: here is how, step by step.
What's new in the latest buildJoin, step by step
Open the invitation
On your Android phone, open the invitation link. It is run by Firebase App Distribution, Google's service for test builds.
Get the invitationAccept it with a Google account
Sign in with a Google account, which can be linked to any e-mail address, then accept the invitation to test Ethernal Oath.
Install Firebase App Tester
The page then offers Firebase App Tester, the app that installs test builds. Android asks you to allow installs from your browser: allow them for this install.
Install Ethernal Oath
In App Tester, open Ethernal Oath and download it. Android asks once more to allow installs, this time from App Tester.
Stay up to date
Turn on App Tester's notifications. Each new build arrives there, and one tap installs it over the previous one.

Frequently asked questions
What happens to my save?
Your progress is saved on your phone, and each new build installs over the previous one without erasing it. A beta save can still be reset, for example when progress moves to the game's servers, so don't count on keeping it for the launch.
How often do new builds come out?
About once a week, an official beta goes out to the testers, with its release notes on this website. App Tester tells you when it is ready.
Read the release notesWhich devices can play?
The beta runs on Android only, on phones and tablets. The game is in 3D, so a recent device gives the smoothest battles.
Who makes the game?
One person, at JLA Studio, an independent studio in France: writing, design, code and direction. The testers' feedback decides much of what comes next.
Open the press kitWhen does it come out?
No date yet, and none will be announced before it is certain. The Android beta comes first; each next step is announced on the Discord and in the journal.
Read the journalWhat if the game stops?
It is a fair question for any online game. During the beta nothing is bought, so there is nothing to lose but a save. If the game ever had to stop, you would read it here and on the Discord first.
Which tools are used?
Ethernal Oath is made with the Godot engine. Generative AI tools are used for part of the content, including the 3D models, illustrations and music, and JLA Studio directs and reviews everything that goes into the game. Nothing generated is ever presented as drawn or composed by hand.
