Please welcome the long awaited feature: DLSS support!

If you are playing with a NVIDIA card DLSS-compatible, you can now turn it on to enjoy the game with beautifulest graphics! You can configure the different activation levels on Options > Graphic Settings page: Off, Ultra-Performance, Performance, Balanced or Quality.

If you missed it, we already shared in our Discord a comparative table to check how enabling DLSS in Edge Of Eternity will better your performance:


As you can see your FPS are going to grow without any quality loss! Also note that all these tests were before the latests optimizations so it might get even better on your computer.

For achieving this we also want to thank the NVIDIA team who got really involved in the development, giving advices and helping us as we are the very first game made with Unity joining the DLSS family. To accompany this accomplishment here is a comparative video made by us with the support of NVIDIA.

Time to enable DLSS!

NVIDIA DLSS is now available for NVIDIA RTX GPU in Edge Of Eternity, it can be enabled from the graphic settings menu.

DLSS allow to achieve much higher framerate by rendering at lower resolution internally and using AI upscaling, oftenly the differences with native resolution are not noticeable and it offers a huge boost of performances.

December 5th marked a new anniversary of our early access: it has now been 2 years since we launched our first chapter in 2018. The game has seen an impressive evolution since then with 3 chapters in its first year, and 3 more this year.

However, the content was not the only axis of improvement this year, indeed this year was also illustrated by the passage of the game to the beta phase! We have also started to anticipate the final release of the game with features like the Modifiers that arrived with Chapter VI.

We still have work to do for 2021 but nothing is impossible. For the coming year we have a chapter much bigger than any currently available, as well as the final release!

Today this phase of Early Access is useful as it allows us to have your feedback to create thanks to you a JRPG that will be remembered! We also took the opportunity to give you our own feedback through a video presented by three members of our team:

Chapter 0: Seed of Destruction

January 30th


This chapter brought a lot of novelty to the gameplay with a new tutorial, a plot as captivating as it is moving. For those who had started playing in the first year of early access, this chapter also taught you a bit more about the source of Daryon and Selene's quest to save their mother.

Chapter V: In Enemy Territory

May 14th

After encountering an unexpected ally, the team had to face Corrosion by crossing a clockwork field as part of their quest to save Heryon. This chapter brought a new playable character, at least if you managed to get to the end of its dungeon!

Beta Phase

August 12th

Although this is not a full chapter we have worked hard to improve the game from the introduction to the last available chapters. This summer was an important step for Edge Of Eternity since we reworked many systems including the Battle Cam, Dynamic Events and even the Crafting System. We've also redraw all the expressions and animations in cutscenes since the beginning of the game!

Chapter VI: The God's Herald

December 16th

Last chapter to date, he was able to bring many optimizations in the cities but also in the open world! A huge part of the story was unlocked at the end of the content of the previous chapter of course but also in the previous chapters since the Etheral Being that you encountered in the introduction was added to chapters 1, 2 and 5!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OrI9st-9K5Q


If we plan the final release of the game for Spring 2021 we still have a lot of work, including the upcoming chapter, the final boss, but also other optimizations to allow you to run the game to its full potential. However, we can already tell you that DLSS will arrive in a few weeks!

Intermediate Chapter

Announced in September, the Chapter "0.5" is coming very soon to allow you to explore the Open World within the first hour of play! You can already test it out by enabling the "Chapter 0.5" option on Experimental Features but as it's experimental some features might not work [TEST AT YOUR OWN RISK], don't hesitate to join our Discord for support if you are stuck!
