Hello !

We’re glad to announce that the fifth chapter of Edge Of Eternity called “In Enemy Territory” is now available! We can’t wait to see what you think about the next steps in our main characters’ quest to save their mother.

https://youtu.be/q7A7dwdjmwQ

As the gears of fate continues to turn and the world changes around them, Daryon and Selene continues their quest in hopes of finding a cure to the dreadful Corrosion. They travels will take us in the most dangerous places in Heryon.

(Minor Spoiler alert for a part of the fifth chapter scenario)

Ysoris seems to know a cure to the metal sickness but it is on another continent: Avaris. Due to an Archelite blockade, our heroes are forced to look for a mean of transportation. Ysoris is suggesting Daryon & Selene to look for answers in the Elysian fields. In these wastelands ravaged by the war, lies a derelict Battleship the Vanguard. In it, lies their best hope.

But Ysoris is hiding many things & his “solutions” might be too dangerous to follow. Our heroes might learn new things about the Corrosion, but at what cost?

Here’s a full patchlog of what’s new in this chapter:

In Enemy Territory.

New Area : Clockwork Field

The Clockwork Fields : a terrible zone claimed by the Corrosion. In this nightmarish landscape full of terrible abominations, that the heroes will discover that their foe is more than what it seems.



New area : Elysian Fields

When the war broke out, this region became a battlefield. The sky itself was ablaze and countless people died in this inferno - but Heryon flora is resilient and nature slowly reclaimed her rights over the region.



New Dungeon : The Vanguard

One of the few Archelite warships that remained functional after crashing. It has become a no-man's land - a death trap from which no one gets out alive. And yet…



Return to Herelsor:

As they try to reach Herelsor for a much-needed debriefing, the heroes will discover that few things have changed during their absence and that those that didn’t yet… will soon do. Heryon is changing around them, and they might be forced to take action.

Greetings, Heroes of Heryon!

Since it seems like we won’t have the chance to see you anytime soon in big events, we thought now would be a good time to take a look at our memories from PAX East 2020!

We went to Boston in late February to showcase some of our main games of the year: The Dungeon of Naheulbeuk: The Amulet of Chaos (which was introduced for the first time to an international audience there), Recompile, ScourgeBringer and Edge Of Eternity.
Edge Of Eternity was playable on our booth, and it seemed like you like our J-RPG as much as we do! We were very glad to see your reactions as you played the game.

Micah Solusod, the actor who dubs Daryon, also visited us to sign some Edge Of Eternity merch!





We also introduced our games to many press sites & always had the full booth during the 4 days of the event. We got great feedbacks from players there & the PAX East public was very kind & interested. Thanks a bunch if some of them are reading this!

We were very happy to be at PAX 2020 this year, and we hope that soon, we’ll have new amazing events to tell you about!
