Hyejin 3D Model
Eternal Return - GM_GeeBly
GM Aesop here back with more Hyejin related news! Remember how just yesterday I shared Hyejin's concept art and said I'd be back with more? Well here's some more! Hyejin's very own 3D as seen in Eternal Return:



She's hanging out at the archery range with a bow. Probably shooting some targets to help her prepare for all the fighting that will erupt on Lumia Island. You think she'll be able to fight in that modern style Hanbok?



You can also get a better look at her mysterious case on her back. Wonder what's inside? πŸ€” Also, what happened to that charm that we saw the other day?? I guess you'll just have to stick around to find out!

I await any and all speculation on our official Discord Server

[New Character] Hyejin Concept Art
Eternal Return - GM_GeeBly
Hello friends, researchers, and survivors. Remember that piece of paper I found in front of the elevators at the office the other day?

Turns out it belonged to Eternal Return's newest character: Hyejin, the Star Crossed Shaman. Let's take a look at her new concept art right now:



You can easily see her slick new outfit, but what's the deal with that case she has on her back... I wonder if that's any hint on what kind of skills she'll have? Be sure to let us in on your speculation on our Official Discord

Don't touch that dial! I'll be able to show off her 3D model very soon, so stay tuned for that!

This concept art was brought to you early thanks to your participation in our Social Network Missions event! There's still some time left on that, so go check it out!

  • 800 entries
  • 1 000 entries
You can check the number of entries through the campaign link, so get your friends to enter if you want to know who's coming next!

The campaign starts now and will end on July 21st - 5 AM PST, when the CBT ends.

Reminder: last day to get Hart for free by Early Access!
Also, today is the last day to unlock Hart for free by Early Access! (Reminder: Hart will NOT be included in the 8 characters provided by the Founder pack).

The event will close on July 7th 7 PM PST (July 8th 11 AM KST.)

"How do I get Hart for free?"

All you have to do is invite a friend to play Eternal Return by following the steps below, and you'll both unlock Hart right at the start of Early Access! Here's how:

  1. Send a private message to GM_GeeBly or GM Aesop on DISCORD stating that you want to participate in the Hart Event.
  2. Provide us with the email addresses linked to the Steam Profiles of you and your friend (Very important! We need this so we can send you Hart at the start of Early Access)
  3. We will give you a game key to give to your friend (this key gives you access to the game during the CBT - Hart will be sent by Early Access). ⚠ Your friend must not have played the game during the 4th or 5th Alpha test for the key to work.
  4. Tell your friend to activate the key and play Eternal Return during the CBT. If the key is activated, we will send you both Hart by the release of the game on Early Access.
    ⚠ If the key is not activated, you will not receive Hart.

*Also, please note that this is for the Early Access release. Hart will be playable in the CBT, but must be unlocked through normal means (accounts will be reset after the CBT).


Reminder: share your Youtube content with us and try to win NP by Early Access.

Skills for Yuki, the Tranquil Blade [Coming July 8th]
Eternal Return - GM_GeeBly
Yuki is making his marvelous arrival onto Lumia Island with the patch coming next week! (July 8th) We're here today to give you a quick primer on how his skills look and what they do. Check it out:

Passive > Perfect Fit



Yuki stores cufflinks as a resource. When he has a stored cufflink, he deals additional damage and reduces his damage taken. Dealing additional damage or taking reduced damage costs him cufflinks. Yuki recovers cufflinks every few seconds while out of combat.

Activating Button Up will refill all of his cufflinks.

Q > From Head to Toe


Yuki's next normal attack deals additional damage and reduces the movement speed of enemies.

Consuming a cufflink stuns enemies.

W > Button Up



Passive: reduces cooldown of Button Up each time Yuki takes damage.

Yuki straightens up his outfit and reduces the cooldown for Dashing Gentleman. While using Button Up, his defense is increased. When Button Up is complete, he gains cufflinks.

E > Dashing Gentleman



Yuki dashes in the targeted direction, dealing damage to the first enemy hit. Enemies hit are disarmed, disabling their normal attacks for a certain time.

R > Coup de Grace




Yuki unsheaths his sword and slashes an area in front of him, dealing an initial damage to enemies and leaving a mark, reducing movement speed of enemies.

The mark explodes after Yuki sheathes his sword, dealing damage.
