#22 Closed Alpha 4.1 Dates & Early Access in 2026 + PC Gaming Show: Most Wanted Trailer

December 4, 2025

Ho ho ho, Reapers! 

’Tis the season… for reaping and looting!  

The afterlife is unfreezing for Closed Alpha 4.1 on December 18, featuring a mystery seasonal event and a round of improvements shaped directly by your feedback! 
 
Last month, we hosted one of our biggest closed alpha playtests to date and received an incredible amount of support, insight, and detailed feedback from you all. 
 
As we continue building Gods, Death & Reapers with you, we’re still actively processing all the feedback to shape long-term improvements and evolve the game further. For 4.1, we focused on immediate quality-of-life updates and quick bug fixes made possible by our devs’ fast work. Bigger improvements will require more time, and you can expect them to arrive in the upcoming closed alphas after 4.1!
