Infinite Alliance News

Progress Update + Music Samples + Winter Sale Deals!

[p]When 2025 began, only a handful of people knew about Infinite Alliance. Now we have over 11,000 wishlists (thank you, everyone!), a wonderful publishing partner in Electric Airship, and we are working hard towards launch in 2026![/p][p][/p][p]We've also seen several members of our Alliance release this year - Geo Mythica, Quartet, Shrine's Legacy, and Kingdoms of the Dump - along with new DLC for Chained Echoes, and Free Expansions for Beloved Rapture and my own game 8-Bit Adventures 2.[/p][p]
So it's been one heck of a year for indie JRPGs! But what about Infinite Allliance itself?
[/p]
Progress Update
[p]Work on Infinite Alliance is proceeding very smoothly and according to plan. Enemy battle graphics and battle backgrounds are almost fully complete, while music, environmental assets, and character sprites are at a very high level of completion too. Personally, I'm chipping away at the World Map right now![/p][p] [/p][p][/p][p]In addition to some new images, I also wanted to share two music samples. The first is "Champions of the Sewers" by Eddie Marianukroh, composer of Chained Echoes. It combines themes from Chained Echoes, Kingdoms of the Dump, and For a Vast Future, and is the battle theme for our second dungeon. Each of our three crossover dungeons gets a unique battle theme to represent its inspirations![/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p][/p][p]The second track is an original piece - "The Chronicler's Theme" by Sebastián Cruz (Carfonu), composer of the 8-Bit Adventures series. It's a beautiful theme which represents the mysterious Chronicler - an alien being from a race of storytellers, who has brought our characters together to redeem a fallen hero.[/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p][/p][p]Unfortunately there's a lot I can't show off yet, as I want to make announcements at the right time to give them maximum impact, and hopefully get some more attention for the game through larger events. For example, I want our next trailer to show off the Geo Mythica cast, and announce the DLC character battles (see the FAQ post for why that exists for consoles, and how any earnings will go to charity: https://steamcommunity.com/games/3720330/announcements/detail/516337874624315510?snr=2___ )[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]But what I can tease is that you'll encounter many more familiar faces in the game's main hub beyond our 9 playable characters - and one of them will even dance![/p][p][/p]

List of Games + FAQ!

Welcome to the Infinite Alliance, everyone! Thank you all so much for the incredible support and excitement we've seen over the last few days.

I've noticed a lot of similar questions popping up, so I wanted to take a moment to share answers in a proper Steam post.

Infinite Alliance is a story rich, turn-based JRPG crossover, uniting 13+ indie games in a FREE adventure!

It's coming to Steam, Nintendo Switch 1 & 2, PlayStation 4 & 5, Xbox One, & Xbox Series X|S in 2026!

[h2]It's free?[/h2]
It is! This project has been created to showcase and celebrate the work of the Indie JRPG scene (even though we're just a small portion of what's out there). So we didn't want any barriers to entry, as we hope players will discover some new favourite games through this collaboration. That's why we decided to make it completely free for everyone!

On Steam, the goal is for it to be 100% free. On consoles, we're required to offer some kind of purchases, and so we'll have a handful of optional DLCs. All proceeds from these purchases will go to charity.

[h2]So how can I support the project?[/h2]
I've been incredibly humbled by how many people have asked me this. The best way to support Infinite Alliance is to buy and wishlist the games involved.

9 games on the list below have already been released on Steam (with several on console too), and the 5 upcoming titles would love your wishlists! Quartet is launching in August, and another 3 games are targeting a 2025 release. So we all greatly appreciate your support! 😊

[h2]Which games are involved in this project (so far)? Links?[/h2]
13+ Indie Games are involved in Infinite Alliance, with more announcements to come! I'll list them in alphabetical order, in case anyone's looking for something specific.

[h2]Do I need to have played all the games to understand Infinite Alliance?[/h2]
Not at all! Infinite Alliance has been written as an introduction to these characters and their games, so no prior experience is necessary. We hope to intrigue new players through strong story-telling and gameplay.

[h2]Are any more games going to be announced for this collaboration?[/h2]
Yes! While you've seen the bulk of the titles involved, we still have a few more surprises to reveal closer to release. Their involvement will be a little different from what you've seen so far, but it'll add to the celebration and hopefully create even more excitement 😊

[h2]Who's behind Infinite Alliance?[/h2]
We have an amazing team of artists, composers, and creatives working on Infinite Alliance, all supported by our wonderful publisher Electric Airship: https://electricairship.com/games/infinite-alliance/

[h2]Can I listen to that *amazing* trailer theme?![/h2]
