The private alpha testing of Temtem Swarm has been successful and Crema has announced a date for the beginning of the closed beta test.

Temtem Swarm is an upcoming survivors-like game from the studio that came out with Temtem, a competitive monster catching game a few years ago. It takes place in the same universe that Temtem does, with the Tems themselves being playable starting off with Platypet, and further unlocks of Oree, Innki and Pigepic during the beta. Check out some early gameplay of Temtem Swarm.

The beta test is expecting to run for a few weeks beginning on September 12, and anyone that would like to sign up to play can do so on the Temtem Swarm Steam page. Temtem swarm is expected to launch in Q4 of this year, so hopefully not too long after the beta test. Check out what the level up screen looks like, which is filled with lots of different options including evolving your Tem.

Read on for the official announcement.

Frequently Asked Questions on Temtem Swarm

Quote From Crema

What can you expect in the Beta?

Two Arenas to explore and conquer!

Play in Deniz, a Mediterranean paradise of sandy beaches, or in Cipanku, a techno-oriental promenade under the cherry blossoms! Each map has its own decorations, pickable items, enemies…and of course, this also means different bosses and mini-bosses! Each map has two mini-bosses and one final boss, each with exclusive Techniques and attack patterns. Learn their patterns to plan your attacks!

Four Tems to unlock and play with!

While the full version of Temtem: Swarm will have a good chunk of playable Tems, in the Beta you start out with lovely Platypet, and can unlock Oree, Innki and Pigepic as you play. Completing challenges in each map will make you progress in Kudos, our in-game achievements, and some Kudos will reward you with an egg. Completing a Capture event in any following game will hatch that egg, unlocking a new Temtem for you to play with!

Skill Trees to grow and enjoy!

Every Tem has its own unique Skill Tree and so you have total control over your builds depending on your play style! You allocate points by using Pansuns, which you'll earn during your matches. Feel like switching up your strategy? No problem! You can always reset any given Skill Tree and reallocate your Pansuns how you want. Start from scratch whenever you want!

Techniques, Gears, Kudos and Synergies!

A full world of possibilities unrolls once you start tapping into the different builds you can have in Temtem: Swarm. There are 28 different Techniques in the Beta, some being exclusive to certain Tems. By playing matches and achieving Kudos you'll be able to unlock Synergies, which will make your Techs way more powerful than at its base. Synergies happen when a fully maxed Technique is paired with a certain Gear. Kudos are the best source of information on these, so don’t forget to check them out!

Don’t forget your friends!

Temtem: Swarm was built from the ground up with online 3-player co-op in mind so that you can join friends to face the swarm together. Strategize, share resources(or steal them from each other), and unleash coordinated attacks to overcome formidable foes. Maximize your attack potential by combining gears and skills into unique builds, creating overpowered synergies and unleashing unstoppable ultimate abilities. Co-op is fully enabled for the Beta, so grab your crew and jump in!

Temtem: Swarm is set to release on Steam® for PC and SteamDeck® in Q4 2024, with plans for future platforms still in the works. Stay tuned for more information and updates as we prepare to unleash this adrenaline-fueled challenge! Are you prepared for what comes next? The Swarm awaits…
