Yesterday, the first trailer for the first game by Loric Games was released. The role-playing game will be available on Steam and will send you through the world of Elysium on an airship.
What game is this about? Echoes of Elysium is a new survival RPG that was announced on Steam. The exact release date of the game is not yet known. The game is being developed by the relatively new studio Loric Games.
Whether a release on other platforms and consoles is planned is not known at this time.
A first trailer gives you an impression of the setting and graphics of the game:
Who is behind Loric Games? Loric Games is a development studio based in Northern Virginia. It was founded in 2022 by Mythic Entertainment veterans Brian Johnson, Ray Soto, and Mythic co-founder Rob Denton.
As former employees at Mythic and BioWare, the three worked on titles such as Ultima Online, Dark Age of Camelot, Warhammer Online, and Star Wars: The Old Republic.
Loric Games has grown to a small team of under 20 employees to date.
What can you expect in Echoes of Elysium? The trailer for the new role-playing game from the trio doesn’t show much yet. You can only get a first impression of the setting and graphics.
According to their own statements (via mmorpg.com), the developers want to create a game that offers more than just eating berries, chopping trees, and building stone huts. Instead, Echoes of Elysium aims to combine the typical survival aspects with a really good story.
In the game, you will explore a vast world full of flying islands on your airships. In this procedural world, ancient machines are said to exist in harmony with the tranquil skies and landscapes. Many different secrets that you can discover are promised here.
Individual areas and combat scenarios are supposed to change randomly, promising plenty of fresh gameplay hours.
Your airships will become your new home in this game and serve as your main base. You should be able to design, improve, and customize them according to your needs to ensure your life on them. You can do this alone or in co-op with other players.
Not much is known about the story yet. However, certain survival aspects are already promised in the description on Steam. You collect resources to secure your survival or to build equipment, buildings, tools, and airships. In the meantime, you must fight against dangerous monsters controlled by a mysterious power.
Enemy airships can also attack you, so you should prepare your ship for that as well. So far, no PvP mode has been announced, which could indicate that you will also have to engage in air battles against other players.
