Farlight Games is gearing up for the official launch of AFK Journey, letting players have a go at the upcoming fantasy RPG during the beta phase this February 1st. The casual 3D title combines strategic combat, gacha mechanics, and idle RPG elements into one cross-platform game that serves as the sequel to the popular idle RPG, AFK Arena.

With the new beta phase of AFK Journey, you can look forward to deep player avatar customisation features along with stunning character animations and a thrilling PvP mode. Familiar faces from the world of Esperia will be joining the fray, and you can experience fan-fave characters in a dynamic day and night cycle across vivid 3D landscapes.

Combat is a real-time tactical affair, and you'll need to strategise the best way to take advantage of traps and terrain around you to gain the upper hand. Of course, given the game's idle nature, you can also send your teammates on quests even when you're away to gather loot for you.
