ATONE: Heart of the Elder Tree, the upcoming title from our friends at Untold Tales and Wildboy Studios, launches in just 10 short days, so we wanted to provide a nice snippet of combat and a preview of the incredible soundtrack that awaits you.

Combat is all about surviving to the end of the song. Let's have a quick look at a battle against the Ice King in Hard Mode.

Keep focused and stick to the rhythm and you'll land a strike. But make too many mistakes and it'll cost you!

If you find yourself struggling or unable to vanquish your enemies, there's always Normal Moe which makes the notes appear on 2 rails only. There is also Story Mode, where combat is entirely winnable, every time, allowing you to focus on the incredible narrative.

All fights can then be replayed in the Arena Mode for those wanting that perfect score or certain trophies.

We've also got a little sneak peak at the amazing in-game OST, composed by the talented James Shuar also know in the electronica scene as Luminist, as well as contributions from composer Andrew Prahlow (The Outer Wilds).

Have a listen to "Sons of Fenrir" and transport yourself to the wilds of ATONE.

Will you hear the story written between the lines?

A sign on a rock eroded by time, the statue of an old hero, stones arranged by the gods, or the hint of a riddle.

The world of ATONE is telling its own story if you listen to it.

Hey everyone!

Three years ago, we launched our first ever title as a studio with ATONE: Heart of the Elder Tree. It was received with critical acclaim and won several awards, and we were so humbled by all the support and love for the unique Norse world we created.



Now, we have several announcements to share with you all!


First up, we're happy to share that we have an official publisher: Untold Tales! They've been a great partner and will support us in all efforts to bring our game to you as smoothly as possible. So go on and give them a follow! ->


Second, we're excited to confirm that we're targeting launch in early 2023. We understand that it's not an exact date, but game development can fluctuate wildly and we don't want to promise something only to disappoint! AND, we'll also be launching on Nintendo Switch, so you can find us there if that's more your style.


Last but certainly not least, we have a free demo for you to try as part of Next Fest! That's right, it's available now. So keep that axe sharp, you'll need it! And when you're done playing, come back and give us your thoughts. We'd love to hear them!
