Enter the luxurious and savage world of Eden, littered with strange ruins and home to wild creatures. The war between these two forces has been dormant for millennia. Until now. Your arrival has awakened the violent feud between the creatures and the ancient machines, the Crucibles.

The native wildlife; diverse, intelligent and deadly, take on the ancient machine race known as The Crucibles. The Crucibles have offered unfathomable power in return for protection, and players must unite their tribe and defend The Crucibles against the endless hordes of hostile alien life.

Bound to the mysterious Crucibles -- the only sanctuaries in this alien wilderness – you must defend them from waves of vicious attacks. But this doesn’t come without its rewards: in exchange, the Crucibles have promised to make you the new gods of this world, if you survive. Trade your humanity for power, seize the ancient technology, and master this alien world!

Nvizzio Creations and Meridian 4 announced that Eden Rising: Supremacy will launch on Steam Early Access starting May 17th, 2018 for $14.99.

“Eden Rising is the perfect co-op game for friends and online communities. You and your friends will explore an incredibly beautiful alien world, craft dozens of items and triumph over tough tower defense challenges,” said Nvizzio’s Lead Designer, Brent Ellison.

“At the start of early access, up to 8 players will be able to share their own persistent version of Eden and we can’t wait to hear their stories.We have an extremely ambitious roadmap for Eden Rising and strongly believe that game development should be a collaborative process alongside the players. We are truly looking forward to engaging with the community to make Eden Rising the best and most creative game it can be.”

The game will launch with an array of features already in place including a 4 square mile world with four distinct biomes to explore that will only increase in size and scope during early access development. The early access version will have over 30 hours of content including some end game content for players to team up and test themselves against.

Eden Rising: Supremacy will have customizable Wardens, who are charged with defending the Crucibles. The all-new trailer shows some of the unique armor and weapon customizations that will be available in Eden Rising. These weapon and armor upgrades are unlocked as players progress through the game and successfully save the Crucibles from destruction by completing increasingly challenging sieges. 

Eden Rising: Supremacy has multiple elements that players will have to master. Including a robust battle system that contains both tower-defense inspired elements and open-world exploration. Enemies will either relentlessly assault the activated Crucible in an attempt to destroy it, or they will attack the players if they are approached in the open world. 

Accessing the Crucible is a crucial part of the gameplay, as activating and defending them from falling to a siege successfully leads to unlocking different tech items that allow you to upgrade your armor and weapons. The players have to activate and defend each of the multiple Crucibles strewn throughout the open-world, as well as power up their Warden to deal efficiently with the hostile alien life. 

Key Features:

• Open world, co-op that blends tower defense action with open world survival.
• Explore a rich, open world full of exotic flora and fauna.
• Survive an alien planet filled with danger around every turn
• Defend the crucibles in action packed tower defense gameplay
• Craft a variety of unique weapons and armor, traps and defenses to defend your base
• 8-player co-op (16-player at full launch); create your own server for your friends or join an open one
• Customize your server difficulty for tribes of any size and control the challenge

Eden Rising: Supremacy is scheduled for fully launch in Q4 2018.
