Why Early Access?

“We're building Echoes of Elysium alongside our community. Early Access lets us gather feedback on gameplay systems, airship mechanics, and survival balance while expanding the world of Elysium in meaningful ways. We’re a small team, passionate and proud about the game we’re making, but we feel our success is driven by working alongside our community.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Our goal has always been to launch into Early Access with a solid foundation that can grow into something even greater. We envision EoE to be in Early Access for 12-16 months as we push and pull the game across several areas until we get it right.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“Early Access will launch with the first of four major parts that will make up the full version of the game. As development progresses, players will be able to access new biomes, each providing unique resources and recipes, but more important the ability to unlock stronger airship components that aid in their journey to reach the end of the full game.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The core systems and mechanics for EoE are already in place and serve as the foundation we’re building on. The current state of the game that represents the Early Access version provides players the ability to explore one large region of the world composed of procedurally generated islands. This area includes everything needed to build up to Tier 2 weapons, tools, and airship components, ending in a boss fight.

Light narrative features introduce the world to our players and guide them in their journey. The game also supports up to 6 player co-op, so everyone can survive and thrive with friends.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The price may increase slightly once the full version is released.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Community insights will directly shape what comes next. We aim to do more than just keeping players informed of what’s to come, we want to engage them in a way that makes them feel like part of the development team. We’ll host community events, invite players to private playtests with devs, and provide them the opportunity to vote on what features we work on next. Ultimately, we want to build the game with our most passionate fans, and that is our community.”
