Lost Eidolons News

Greetings Tacticians,

Lost Eidolons has been up and running on PCs since October of last year, but we aren’t quite done bringing Eden and Balastar to everyone–we have yet to bring them to our console players.
This is why we have partnered with a veteran publishing team at Plug in Digital to bring Lost Eidolons to both Xbox and PlayStation within the year. We'll bring more detail on this via our social channels (links below) so stay tuned!

We will be attending PAX East in Boston to demo our second game, but we will also be taking the full game on Xbox for you to try out. We have never shown the full version on Xbox before, so this will mark the first time out in public!
And if you’ve been wondering how well the game plays on Steam Deck, you can give it a go at our booth as well.

We are booth #19085, and we’d look something like this.



Drop by and say hi if you’re at PAX East even if you’ve played through Lost Eidolons. We’d love to meet you!
Even if you’re not attending PAX, follow our various social channels to look at what’s happening in our booth and behind the scenes.

Now, here’s a word about this patch from Jin Sang Kim, the Creative Director of Lost Eidolons.

---------------------------------------------------

Hello everyone,

It’s already been a full month since we’ve entered the new year.

In this patch, we added finishing touches to make the game feel more polished overall. We had quite a few Tacticians who wanted more from the game’s ending. Taking in that feedback, we made improvements: we added more detail to the ending, as well as epilogues for each character so that Tacticians can learn more about what came after the plight for their favorites.

Another area we received a lot of feedback on was the final battle’s balance, so we added some in-battle events that can help ease the difficulty. The optional battle improvements we’ve mentioned previously also comes in this patch. In order to address feedback about repeating the same battle, we made adjustments so that each optional battle can be a bit more interesting. Last but not least, we fixed various bugs that our community reported, to make Lost Eidolons more polished than ever!
