Eternal Return News

We heard you all! Thanks to feedback from the community and performance of the servers themselves, we're extending the time of the Europe server by an additional 3 hours to be open for a total of 7 hours and the South America server by an additional 1 hour to be open for a total of 5 hours

[h3]Europe[/h3]

EU Server: 5 PM - 12 AM CEST

We will also always have Solo mode available while the servers are open. We'll have a team mode (duo/trio) on rotation throughout the week.

The EU server has shown solid performance and matchmaking, but the EU population still isn't quite ready to sustain a 24/7 server, (Even the NA server is seeing some long queues at off-peak times) but this is a great first step.

[h3]South America[/h3]

SA Server: 6 PM to 11 PM BRT

The South America server population is still rather low, but has shown some increase. We'll be adding an additional hour to the server as well.

As for modes on the South America server, duo mode will be temporarily suspended, leaving only Solo and Squad.

We have an easy website link to help you follow the server times and modes, check it out here:

By joining the Eternal Return Creator Program, you’ll be rewarded for your dope streams and videos with the lucrative premium currency: NP.

That part is pretty much the same from the previous version.

But we wouldn't be Nimble Neuron if we weren't always bringing you new stuff!

Streamers, you can be featured right smack dab on our Steam page.
YouTubers, your videos can be featured on our Eternal Return channel!

There are also some slight differences in the program (requirements and point system mainly), making it easier for you all to make it count. Check the link for more details:

Bots now appear significantly less often in upper-tier matchmaking. This change may result in slightly longer queue times in certain modes.

※ The game will be unavailable during the maintenance period.
※ Please restart your steam client after the update.
Thank you for your patience!

Hello, this is a message from the Eternal Return Team.

[h2]To all our European and South American players,[/h2]

We have been receiving a lot of questions and comments regarding our decision to open the Europe and South America servers for a limited time daily.

We want to reassure you that this is, by no means, a sign of us not looking after our players in both regions. Rather, it's the complete opposite! We limited the time for the integrity of both regional player communities.

When previously opening the Europe and South America servers, even when opening both servers during the Steam Game Festival, the response and population was not very high. This resulted in players finding matches and ending up with extremely long queue times and having an overall bad experience, independent of the game mode.

Having the servers open for just a few hours allows us to try and congregate as many players from the region as possible, resulting in shorter queues and more fun.

We hope you all understand that one of our main goals is to have the Europe and South America servers open all day and with every mode, just like with Asia and North America.

Some members of our team are also from South America (Eternalice) and Europe (Geebly), so you guys are not alone. We assure you that we want the best for both regional communities.

The first day on Early Access has looked very positive for Europe, and hopefully we will be able to reach the minimum viable playerbase to extend the server for more hours and modes.

South America still seems to be growing, but we are seeing an increase of players compared to previous times we've opened the server.

We will be gradually increasing server times and modes according to the community response.
Also another point regarding the EU and SA servers and a big reason for us to open them was out of loyalty to our existing community of beta testers in regions. We did not want to leave them out of Early Access by not having servers in either region at all.

Opening the EU and SA servers for a limited time is not some ploy to take your money or anything like that. The game is free-to-play, you can obtain all the characters by just playing the game. Limitations on server time does make this a little more difficult, so in return, we provide a free character rotation so you can still play with most of the characters while unlocking the ones you are mostly focused on.
Completing the whole tutorial will automatically grant you enough A-Coin to unlock your favorite character, as well as awarding Jackie and Aya upon completion.

We are absolutely not demanding that people buy the Starter Pack DLC. The pack is just a budget friendly option for people who just started the game and with little time to unlock all their desired characters. We had a similar thing offered in the Alpha and Beta tests, and due to popularity, we brought it to Early Access!

To summarize, we are opening the servers on a schedule to congregate players to the corresponding region so that people can have quick queue times while we start gradually extending server times and modes per each region upon increasing the player base on each.


We hope to grow together in both dear regions very soon!
