Echoes of Elysium News

[p]Step behind the scenes with our Art Director, Ilya Nazarov, as he takes you through the visual journey of Echoes of Elysium, from the earliest concept sketches to the breathtaking skies you’ll soon explore.[/p][p][/p][p]In this video, Ilya shares how our small team shaped the world’s look and feel: painterly skies, inspiring airships, and the blend of fantasy and industry that defines Elysium’s floating isles. It’s a glimpse into how art direction guides everything we build, from the stories we tell to the adventures waiting above the clouds.[/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p][/p][p]Every world, even Elysium, begins with an idea, but it’s the artists who bring that idea to life.[/p][p][/p][p]We asked our art team to share what it’s been like building the world of Echoes of Elysium from the ground up, from sketching out early concepts to shaping the skies, ships, and stories that define the game. [/p][p][/p][p]Seeing ideas become something real reminds us why we love building games.[/p][p]
We still have plenty more to share in the weeks ahead, including deeper looks at gameplay, world design, and how Early Access will grow over time.

[p]Hey everyone![/p][p][/p][p]We’ve been waiting a long time to share this, Echoes of Elysium officially launches into Early Access on December 4! [/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p]This world has been years in the making, and we honestly can’t wait for you to get your hands on it. From the first day of Early Access, you’ll be able to build your own airship, team up with friends, explore floating islands, and fight back against the soul-powered Armada that’s tearing Elysium apart.[/p][p]
It’s been wild watching this dream grow from sketches and prototypes into a living, breathing world full of mystery, danger, and sky-high adventure. Soon it will be your turn to make your mark in it.[/p][p][/p][h3]Win a Custom Airship PC (Yes, Seriously) [/h3][p][/p][p]To celebrate our early access date announcement, we’ve teamed up with AMD, SteelSeries, and Alienware to give away a one-of-a-kind Custom Airship PC bundle, built to look like the JOAT (Jack of All Trades) ship from our key art.

You’ll team up with up to 6 friends, gather resources, craft upgrades, and fight to survive while exploring the shattered world above the clouds. [/p][p][/p][h3]About Early Access[/h3][p]Early Access is just the beginning of our journey together. Echoes of Elysium isn’t “finished” in our eyes, there’s still plenty we want to build, polish, and expand, but we’re incredibly proud of where it is today and can’t wait to grow it alongside all of you. You’ll probably run into a few rough edges or quirky bugs along the way (it’s part of the adventure!), but we’ll be there, patching, tuning, and listening every step of the way towards the full vision we have (we’ll share more on that shortly after launch!). We’re also already exploring adding more languages than we initially planned, so players around the world can experience Elysium in their own words. This is the start of something big, and we’re grateful to have you with us from day one.[/p][p][/p][h3]From the Team[/h3][p]We’re a small team of 14 devs who’ve poured our hearts into this, and Early Access is just the beginning. You’ll see us in the Discord, watching your streams, reading your feedback, and shaping the skies of Elysium together.
[/p][h3]See You in the Skies[/h3][p]December 4 marks the start of something special, a living world that we’ll keep growing with you, one update at a time.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]So get your crew ready, wishlist the game, and help us spread the word.

[p]Hey everyone, It’s been a little quiet from us lately, and for good reason. The team’s been heads down, deep in the skies of Elysium, bringing the world closer to the one we’ve always imagined. Every floating island, every clockwork creature, every bolt and plank on your airship, all of it has taken shape piece by piece over the last few months.[/p][p][/p][p]We wanted to wait until we had something truly worth showing you. The truth is, Echoes of Elysium has grown so much since the last time you saw it. Systems are tighter, visuals are sharper, and the world feels more alive than ever. We’ve been testing, rebuilding, and polishing every corner of the game to make sure your first journey through the clouds feels magical from the start.[/p][p][/p][p]It’s easy to lose sight of how far things have come when you’re in the middle of it, but looking at the game today… We're proud. Not “done” proud, because there’s still a lot to do, but proud of what it’s becoming and of the team that’s been quietly pushing toward this moment.[/p][p][/p][p]We can’t say too much just yet (though you might want to keep an eye out for the next few days 👀), but what we can say is that Echoes of Elysium is really close to letting its sails loose. [/p][p][/p][p]Thanks for being patient with us while we built this world. We’re almost ready to show you what’s next, and we can’t wait for you to see what’s waiting above the clouds. [/p][p][/p][p]In the meantime, here’s a sneak peak from our most recent build.[/p][p][/p][p]The Loric Games team[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p]

[h3]Hey Elysians![/h3][p][/p][p]We just dropped our very first Dev Vlog, and it’s a good one! Ray (our co-founder and producer) sat down to share what we learned during Steam Next Fest: what surprised us, what made us laugh, and what’s already evolving thanks to your feedback.[/p][p][/p][h3]Watch Dev Vlog #1 here: Steam Next Fest Recap and Reflections[/h3][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p][/p][p]This was our first time putting Echoes of Elysium into your hands, and the response was incredible. Insightful feedback, honest opinions, and yes, a few spicy takes. We loved all of it. Here’s a sneak peek of what we talk about in the vlog:[/p]

• [p]Airships & Gliders: The vision was there, but we’re making traversal feel smoother, faster, and just more fun overall.[/p]
• [p]Combat Gets an Upgrade: We’re stepping things up with better animation, satisfying feedback, and more moment-to-moment impact.[/p]
• [p]Player-Driven Dev: Your ideas (even the wild ones) are making their way into our design discussions. This is a team effort, and you’re on it.[/p]

[p]Thanks again for being part of the Echoes of Elysium story. We're building something ambitious, weird, chaotic... and hopefully unforgettable. And we're honored to be able to embark on this journey with you.[/p][p][/p][h3]Want to help shape the game directly?[/h3][p]Join our Discord and apply to be part of our playtest group!
