Surprise - The Challenge of the Thulian Masters is now available to ALL players! Our apologies for going dark recently, but hopefully this makes up for it. Regardless of whether you have the free Explorer or Ascendant Edition you can hop in and experience the new content today!

This update adds a new Crucible and Arena to Eden Rising featuring endless, procedural challenges with no need to craft ahead of time - between rounds you'll receive random turrets and consumables to use as you see fit. Fight for survival and win ever-increasing quantities of nanochips, but when you fail it's back to the beginning!

On top of the new content, there have been a number of exciting changes and additions across the game. First of all, in the new update the Tech Tree tiers have been unlocked, eliminating the need to complete Crucible tiers to access tech nodes. This means if you're having trouble with a siege in the main world you'll be able to head to the highly-variable Challenge Zone to earn nanochips that will now be easily translated into tech!

Next, there's new tech: Overclocked versions of every turret, more Power Perks and Supreme Pastes with very significant buffs. And unlocking the tech doesn't just allow you to craft them in Eden - it causes them to drop between rounds in the Challenge Zone as well.

These are all pretty big, but two new systems accessible through tech should really get you excited: Omega Weapons and Item Conversion.



Every weapon and glove tree now has a new layer at the bottom of each branch featuring the Omega version of that item. When you forge an Omega Weapon the visuals change and the damage increases.

You can continue to improve the Omega level on a piece of gear FOREVER - with ever-increasing costs. If you want to last as long as possible in the challenge zone, you'll definitely need to take advantage of this system.



Forging Omega gear requires Omega Batteries, for which there are TWO blueprints, available from the Valley and Fungal Preserve trees.

One allows you to craft an Omega Battery directly with Nanochips (available in abundance in the Challenge Zone), while the other uses copious amounts of Mana Droplets.



So how do you get Droplets in such ridiculous quantities? Well, the new Essence Conversion tech in the Fungal Preserve tree gives you the power to convert almost any resource. Just right-click on the item stack and choose "Convert" and you'll have the option to change it into a pile of Droplets based on the resource's value (now visible in the item's tooltip).

Those of you with a massive hoard in storage will be able to get a big jump on Omega Weapons, and everyone will have many more options when it comes to crafting endgame turrets.

You'll need everything you can get to take on the Challenge, and particularly the new Thulian Master bosses. As mentioned in previous updates, the Ghostmaster and Elementalist may pop up to challenge you in the Arena. But the Thulian Crabmaster has his own themed siege in the Challenge Crucible:



Aggressive versions of the common Edenian Crustacean are surprisingly prominent in the Challenge Crucible, and eventually you'll have to challenge their master.

Survive two waves of crab hordes and the Crabmaster himself will arrive. He fights with sulphur barrages and rapid charges while crabs continue to pour down the lanes, and summons giant crabs to assault your barriers and crucible. And like the other Masters, defeating him grants access to a new Core with a totally unique effect for you to discover.

We believe the Challenge of the Thulian Masters contains some of the best content in the game and offers a true challenge for those who have already mastered Eden. Good luck in there, and feel free to drop into our Discord if you need tips or friends to hunt with!

The new Crucible and Arena in the Challenge of the Thulian Masters zone offer infinite survival content, but if it’s not difficult enough for you it’s time to add some curses!

Between every siege you can choose to take an additional curse that makes the run harder but significantly increases your Nanochip rewards. Your curse is randomly assigned when you request it and immediately takes effect. It may be something basic (turrets take increased damage), or more exotic (random exploding electrosylphs seeded among enemy spawns).



Some curses even have multiple levels that can randomly unlock. For example, you may get a curse early on that prevents your character from regenerating, but if you keep taking curses you might eventually see that curse change into a “Vampire” effect that constantly drains health, forcing you to kill enemies in close range to restore it.



Curses add a lot of variety to the Challenge zone experience and piling them on is definitely the most efficient way to earn Nanochips (if you’re good enough). But beware – once you take a curse you’re stuck with it for the rest of the run!



Of course, there’s a lot of variety to be found in the sieges themselves, particularly in the Mutator rounds that add big modifiers to gameplay while you fight “simulated” enemies. For example, you might have to battle frequent spawns in the Arena as fireballs drop constantly around you, or you may hit the “Tower Defense” modifier where your own weapons barely dent the monsters while your turrets get a massive damage boost.

As always, these rounds grant defenses appropriate to the challenge that you can take to the next siege if they survive.



In addition to the Elementalist, there’s a second Thulian Master to be found in the Arena: the Ghostmaster. This boss fires blasts of psychic energy and summons Thulian Echoes like those found in the new Typhon Pass lair. However, these Echoes can only be put down temporarily so you’ll have to manage them throughout the fight.

As you might imagine, the Challenge Crucible and Arena can get TOUGH! However, there’s a new infinite progression system coming alongside the infinite challenge. Next time we’ll cover the new tech as well as new economic systems that allow you to convert resources and nanochips directly into improved weapons and gloves. Stay tuned!

It’s been a while since the last patch but that’s because the team at Nvizzio has been hard at work at the biggest post-launch update yet – The Challenge of the Thulian Masters adds procedural survival challenges to the game with new bosses, new enemies, tech and more!



In the new content, accessible from the Valley early on and free for those with the Ascendant Edition (although it will also be available separately) you can choose to partake in one of two challenges by yourself or with up to 8 players. Inspired by roguelike mechanics, you won’t be bringing turrets or consumables to the Challenge Zone - instead you’ll receive them procedurally between sieges. Anything left after a siege is completed persists to the next round but you won’t be able to bring any into your next run - use them while you can!



This creates a very different strategy compared to the rest of the game – rather than relying on the same tools over and over you’ll now have to make do with what you have to survive. The Corrosive and Essence Cylinders become invaluable weapons when that’s all you have. If you get an Electro-Turret in the first round you may the Polarity Rod to be the best tool in your arsenal!

After each round you’ll receive Nanochips that can be used in the newly expanded tech trees (as well as on a new mechanic to be detailed in a future post). However, the items that you get during a run in the Challenge Crucible are drawn from those you’ve unlocked already so you can improve your chances by investing in the tech trees. In addition, there are unique rare items to be found - exclusive to the Challenges - if you last long enough.



The Challenge zone contains a strategy-oriented Crucible and a fast-paced Arena so you can make progress in either play style, alone or with others. But you’ll want to spend some time in both because they each contain unique bosses with their own Cores. There are three new Thulian Masters that we believe make up the most challenging and interesting encounters in the game thus far.



The Thulian Elementalist can be seen above and we’ll detail the other two in the next couple posts. There’s a lot more to be said about the Challenges themselves, such as the Curse and Mutator mechanics, as well as the economy improvements and rewards being added. Stay tuned!

We're hard at work on the "Challenge of the Thulian Masters" - new procedural content for all levels of play that will be added to Eden Rising in the near future. New bosses, endgame tech, and more - expect details soon!

Hi Wardens!

The Eden Rising Summer Update is LIVE!

We've replaced the Typhon Pass Outpost with a Lair where players can now unlock Rift Gloves! These new combat gloves will allow Wardens to place damaging zones in front of them that persist as long as your mana holds out. These are great for piling on the damage on the fly during a wilderness fight or for covering a bottleneck during sieges. Those of you that love Aggravating Hives as much as I do will love them even more for their ability to draw a bunch of creatures into your damage zones.

We've also given ranged weapons some love. We've worked on animations and projectile effects to make Slingers and Bombards look and feel better. The snipers among you will appreciate how Slingers now do more critical damage and can stagger weaker monsters when shooting them in weak points. We've also adjusted Bombard damage so it's better at destroying clusters of monsters.

More details on this and a bunch of fixes to community-reported issues in the patch notes! As always, we'd love to hear what you think on Discord!

Features

• Added Rift Gloves! These new gloves (Rift, Cloudkill and Nullspace) create a damaging zone that persists as long as your mana holds out
  
• Changed the Typhon Pass Outpost into a challenging lair that rewards the new glove (and the Conversion Rod has been moved to a different lair in the Searing Coast)
  
• Slingers have new effects and significantly higher crit multipliers and somewhat lower base damage. They can also now stagger weaker monsters when hitting weak points
  
• Bombards have new effects and have had their damage flattened so they deal the same damage to all enemies in their AoE (they have effectively been buffed against multiple targets and nerfed against single targets). Charge time and penetration have been increased
  
• The Bombard is now available from the start of the game, and the Slinger has been moved to the North-West Valley Outpost
  
• The Chitin Slinger is now available in the Fungal Preserve
  
• If you are playing in solo you will occasionally get notifications to let you know when other players are playing in the same area
  
• Pillars can now be picked up during recharge and have had their build timing adjusted
  
• Players can now drop quantities of items less than an entire stack

Balance Updates

• Radiation Zones now apply stronger radiation, but the monsters in them apply less on proximity
  
• Some weapons that previously lost attack power on upgrade to a new type have had their values adjusted

Fixes & Adjustments

• Equipment in a slot on the gear screen is now ordered more sensibly
  
• Fixed a large number of locations where players reported getting stuck
  
• Fixed issue where the Crucible Improvements Screen wouldn’t display correctly after spending modules
  
• The Cloudkill Glaive now works as described
  
• Fixed an issue where mastery could be unlocked in the bestiary without receiving the appropriate core
  
• Interacting with the crafting screen should be smoother now
  
• Extraction gloves (including the Gravitic Extractor) now correctly improve their speed as they get upgraded
  
• Fixed issue where host server options could not be changed if World Access was set to "Invite Only"
  
• Completing Lairs now shows the Results Screen
  
• Armored Thulians and Hydras now correctly dissolve on death
  
• Fixed some issues with Russian localization in the tutorial

Hey Wardens,

We’ve heard your feedback about the free version, and we are updating the messaging on the Steam page and in the game. We realize the messaging was not clear enough, and we understand this may have caused some confusion for some players.

We know our business model is pretty new, so we’re working hard to make sure it’s getting better and clearer.

Here’s what we want you to be able to do:

• Play and discover the base game of Eden Rising for free in solo or multiplayer mode. The Free Explorer Edition lets you do exactly that and, unlike a demo, you get to keep your progression
  
  
• Your friend has bought the Ascendant Edition expansion and you want to join them to play everything (base game + Ascendant expansion) for free in multiplayer. The Free Explorer Edition lets you do exactly that
  
  
• Make it so only one friend needs to get the Ascendant Edition for your group of friends to have access to all the game content (base game + Ascendant expansion)!

The Explorer Edition will not be called “free-to-play” anymore. We feel from the reactions that this sets a certain expectation among players regarding pacing, microtransactions, the gameplay, etc. Instead, let’s just call it “free.”

In addition, we just released a new update to the Free Explorer Edition. It opens up much more of the gameplay in the free base game. You can now play 3 times more sieges, unlock more tech, etc. With this update, we feel there is now at least 12 hours of solo gameplay in the free base game, if not more.

The updated free version remains FULLY COMPATIBLE with the Ascendant expansion, and if you join an Ascendant Edition server, you have access to all the game content.

For clarity, this Free Explorer Edition is not (at least, in our opinion) a demo. Steam’s “demo” designation doesn’t allow you to keep your save data once you play the full game. On top of that, demos don’t have the ability to connect to any games except other demo versions. We chose not to use this distinction for these reasons, but also because the content you receive in the free version is much more than a demo -- it essentially gives you hours and hours of gameplay as well as a free multiplayer client to access absolutely all the game content (base game + Ascendant expansion). This is what allowed us to offer the unique ability to let one friend buy the game and the rest of your friends to join.

Again, we’re happy to chat with anyone who has questions or would like to discuss with us, especially on Discord. :) We hope to continue improving Eden Rising, including the messaging around this new business model! Please check out the updated infographic below!

FEATURES

• Unlocked Explorer Edition access to 20 ADDITIONAL SIEGES and associated Tech Tiers in the Valley and Fungal Preserve Crucibles.

• Interesting resources that don't get used enough (Deep Ore) have had costs increased in their Forge patterns.
  
• The Valley Tier 3 Siege "RAPIER" has had its time requirements adjusted to make it possible to get higher link results.
  
• Increased cost of some Crucible Improvements to match the total cost with the available module count.
  
• Monster drop containers now last 5 minutes instead of 2 minutes.

FIXES AND ADJUSTMENTS

EDIT: Hi again Wardens!

We have a new post with the latest update regarding the free edition of the game. Please see the latest update here for more information!

--

Hi Wardens,

We’d like to address the concerns players have about the free-to-play (F2P) version and the Ascendant Edition.

The F2P version is not a demo. While certain parts of the game are limited, this version does not have restrictions regarding your unlocks/gear, your character’s abilities, etc. As we do not offer microtransactions, we do restrict certain content behind the Ascendant Edition.

However, the F2P version is FULLY COMPATIBLE with the Ascendant Edition. If you join an Ascendant Edition server, you have access to that content.

This is also a way for you to experience the co-op of Eden Rising! Our main motivation with the F2P and Ascendant Editions is to build community. If you only want to play with friends and not public servers, only one friend needs to buy the Ascendant Edition for you all to have the content!

We know this is a new kind of business model. The Ascendant Edition is sort of like buying an expansion for a game, plus a few extra perks.

We’re happy to chat with anyone who has questions or would like to discuss with us. :)

Hi Wardens,

This week, we’ve got another preview for you. Gloves are back with all new powers!

Gloves are one of your best support items in the game. We wanted to make sure they were as useful as possible -- during combat! We’ve added all-new glove mods, each with a different combat ability. Also, every glove mod allows you to gather ore, so you don’t have to switch whenever you come across some metal.

Thanks to our previous updates, gloves have a quick key on the HUD, allowing you to seamlessly switch between your favored weapons and your newest glove modification. Whether it’s a quick jolt of electricity or channeling flames against a pack of medusae, there’s a combat glove for everyone!

Here’s one in action:


You can get your hands on these gloves with our update on May 17th -- launch day! Just two more days to go!
