Lost Eidolons News

Tacticians,

Time sure flies, doesn’t it? It was only a few short months ago when Lost Eidolons announced the official release date at PAX West 2022. Since then, we shipped the game into your hands, our PC players, had a major patch to introduce New Game+, and had numerous smaller patches to bring quality-of-life improvements and bug fixes.
But we have not yet closed the books on Lost Eidolons as we want to tell Eden’s tale to the Xbox and PlayStation players as well. So we thought PAX East 2023 would be the perfect place to take the working Xbox version and show off how it looks right next to the finished PC and Steam Deck game.




As the main spotlight of our Ocean Drive Studio booth was cast on the upcoming beta of our second title Blackout Protocol, we really didn’t know what to expect in terms of turnout for Lost Eidolons. Will people come and play? Will there be anyone who recognizes Lost Eidolons? Is our TV too small to show off Xbox demo? (This one is a resounding yes)

Well, once again, PAX attendees showed us much love by not only visiting our booth, they stood in a long line to give us a go.




We were honored to have some of our favorite friends stop by, like Brittany Cox (voice of Marchelle), Chel0ra, and Platinum Queen (whom we met at PAX West)!



We also met Kickstarter backers who dropped in to ask questions about Xbox release date (the answer? Soon. I know…I know…) and even had a peer from another booth come by just to tell us how much he loved Lost Eidolons.

At the end of PAX East, we were physically exhausted but mentally re-energized thanks to meeting old and new friends that love Lost Eidolons as much as we do. We are motivated more than ever to introduce the game to new console friends we haven’t met yet for an even bigger reunion at future cons. We will make it happen within the year of 2023!

Until the next time we meet, with much gratitude,

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!
