Applicants complete the recruitment survey for a chance to be selected. Eligibility notifications will be sent later by email or another appropriate channel. The time of the qualification announcement has not been confirmed.
Selected players can access PC and mobile versions according to their survey information and the final selection. Logging in with the same account enables cross-save between PC and mobile. Mobile test eligibility is separate for Android and iOS.
Each Elementa account can log in on at most one PC and two mobile devices, one iOS device and one Android device. Access is bound to the first-login device, which must be used throughout the test. Changing devices results in a ban and loss of test access.
Players who earned access through the Dichotomy Beta survey event must still complete the Retrace recruitment survey and provide the additional requested information. Once they submit it, those eligible players receive access directly. Without the survey, they receive no further test notifications or invitations.
Selected participants must sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement before the test begins. Transferring or selling the client or a test account is prohibited and results in revoked access.
The build is under development and does not represent the final release. Device compatibility, performance and visual quality are still being worked on. The FAQ warns that participants may encounter overheating, frame-rate drops and stuttering.
These details describe the publicly announced access rules and build goals. The FAQ does not announce new characters, new story chapters, a test play period, final pricing or a launch date. See Platforms and Release for confirmed release platforms.
