Your questions

Frequently asked

What is World Beyond Gods?

An online action RPG. You play one of two peoples who are not human, in a world the gods left, and build your character from gems, a passive tree and rolled items.

Which peoples can I play?

Both, from the first slice. The Hornbound start in Emberfold and the Tidecrowned in Saltglass Reach; the two peoples never share a start.

Are there classes?

No. Any character can tank, heal or deal damage; your gems, passive tree and gear decide which.

What is a Rift?

A violet wound in the sky over every farming valley. Fight beneath it and it angers until its boss descends; beat the boss and the Rift pulls everyone who fought into a realm of its own.

What is the living gem?

The holder of your skills: your skill and support gems socket into its six facets. It never levels; living gems that drop with rolled sockets, and crafting to improve them, come later.

Can I play alone?

Yes. A Rift reaches its boss in about the same time whether you fight alone or in a crowd, and at the endgame a Riftstone opens a private Rift in your own hideout.

Is there PvP?

Not at first. Arenas and opt-in duels come later, and nobody can attack you in the open world unless you have switched duels on.

Do I need an account?

Yes: you will sign in through our launcher to play. We will say when accounts open; the launch mail is the surest way to hear.

What does the launch mail sign-up keep?

Your email address and whether you ticked the box for major news, stored in our database on Cloudflare. Nothing else.

How do I unsubscribe?

Use the one-click link at the foot of any mail we send you.

How do I have my data deleted?

Ask through the contact form, and we will delete what we hold about you.

When does Early Access open?

The date is still to be announced. The launch mail tells you on the day.

What will it cost?

Nothing until the endgame is in. Then the game moves to a monthly subscription, with the price announced before it begins.

Where can I play?

On Windows PC, through our own launcher from this site or on Steam.
