And this is all leading up to the FULL RELEASE – we’re aiming for late Spring.
Remember: Anyone with 500 Nightmare Packs can get into the Haunted House today. And we will be opening it up to more players real soon, now.

Beta II Major Features
- Much improved level balancing and more levels to try your hand at.
- More variety of fiends and towers and spells.
- Some nasty new fiends, like the horrendous WITCH class, with Bossy Witch Queens that will curdle your blood and cast spells that do things like cause towers to randomly misfire.
- Many bugs from Beta Phase One fixed.
How Rewards Will Work
At a high level, we can share a bit more about how the reward system will work in Soulkeep:
- Rewards will be given out in SPS, Legendary Potions, Gold Potions, and even full packs as rewards.
- You can stack up on rewards with each and every game you play, as long as you have the proper cards and prerequisites. Oh… and as long as you don’t die!
- The more waves you make it through without dying, the more you’ll earn. You can tuck tail and retreat between waves and keep any rewards you’ve earned, but you’ll miss out on the greater goodies.
- Gold foil NFTs, higher level NFTs, and promo cards will be eligible for greater shares of rewards.
- We will launch with ten leagues. Leagues get exponentially more difficulty and generally require higher-level NFT defenses to beat. The higher up you are as a league, the more shares of rewards you will earn.
- To get to new leagues, you’ll need to a) Complete all the Standard “Gateway Levels”, which are hand-crafted and can be won using suggested towers. b) Collect enough Soul Tokens to open the portal and progress through.
- Common, Rare, Epic, and Legendary Soul Tokens will drop as you exterminate various rarities of fiends:
- To earn enough Soul Tokens you can press your luck in “Free For All” mode, playing special levels with any Tower, Spell, or Hero you want and facing off against a random set of Battle Rules that make each wave increasingly challenging.
