Hey everyone!

We’ve decided to move the release of METAL EDEN to Summer 2025.

After going through the feedback from the demo, we saw some clear areas where we can improve. We’re taking a bit more time to refine the game and make sure it delivers the experience we’re aiming for. Your input has been a big part of that process, and we appreciate it.

We know delays aren’t ideal, and we really appreciate your patience. We’ll share the new date as soon as we can—and we’re confident it’ll be worth the wait.

More soon.

Who is ASKA?

HYPER UNITS, CONFIRM YOUR STATUS

ASKA is an advanced hyper unit built upon a digitized human psyche, designed to save and protect humanity from the captivity of the Engineers.

She is the first human whose core is built on the revolutionary streaming technology, allowing her to stream her consciousness back to NEXUS when her body experiences failure to be rebuilt and try again. Making her the perfect machine for the mission.

Humanity has been trapped at the centre of MOEBIUS, inside the HIVE. ASKA’s mission is to infiltrate MOEBIUS and get past the cleaners, commanded by the Engineers to stop her. And free Humanity from the HIVE, located at the centre of the city.

Built for the mission to save humanity, ASKA has been equipped with a wide range of powerful tools. One of those is Core Ripping, which allows her to extract the cores of unprotected enemies.

Extracting the core from an enemy will immediately neutralize them, giving you multiple options for how to use the core.

Consuming the core will allow her to extract the energy from it, providing ASKA with a significant power boost. Also let her perform a Super Punch that can send enemies flying, or deal a significant amount of damage to armored enemies.

If surrounded by enemies she can throw the core, causing an explosion dealing devastating damage to surrounding foes, and depending on your upgrades can cause different status effects to them.

Using Core Ripping it’s additionally possible to gain a boost in Healing and Armor to quickly recover health and her defenses, ensuring she can withstand the toughest of foes.

Periodically throughout the game, ASKA will come across Body Modules allowing her to upgrade her own core’s capability and increase the effectiveness of Core Ripping. The different upgrades available to ASKA through body modules is

Core Power Path: Focuses on explosive energy and high-damage attacks. 

Body Suit Upgrades: Enhances mobility, and defence, and slows time for precise attacks. 

Core Ripping Enhancements: Boosts efficiency, allowing ASKA to extract more power from her enemies. 

Allowing her to tailor her abilities depending on how she wants to fight the Cleaners and Engineers in her way.

Different upgrade combinations will affect ASKA’s combat efficiency in different ways. Some different combinations would be:

High Damage: Iron Fist + Double Punch 

Agility & Precision: Combat Focus Mode + Synaptic Suppression 

Core Ripping Mastery: Magnetic Field + Core Eruption 

Getting high damage with iron fist to increase super punch range and radius, and double punch to punch twice for each core consumption.

Using Combat focus mode to slow time on command, and synaptic suppression to make you take less damage in slow motion to create precision both in shooting and movement.

Or master core ripping by doubling the extraction radius with magnetic field, and causing an explosion using Core eruption.

Being able to upgrade your Core isn’t the only way ASKA will improve throughout her mission. During each mission, she will be collecting Dust which can be used to upgrade her weapons based on her needs.

These upgrades range from simply increasing the capability of each weapon to completely changing how the weapon behaves and how to use it the best. Her pistol can be upgraded to either be able to fire lasers at the enemy dealing high amounts of energy damage, or give the pistol homing capabilities to shoot around corners and never miss a shot.

When fighting the army of Cleaners, it’s important to stay on your toes to avoid getting hit by the enemies. While ASKA is immortal, and will always return using the streaming technology her body is not invincible.

Therefore ASKA has been made capable of creating distance between her and her enemies to protect her body from harm. Dash, Wall run, Zip-line and hover to dodge incoming enemy fire, and stay at a distance from melee specialized cleaners.

Using these tools makes her a Hyper Unit nearly impossible to hit and catch.
