Guardians of Ember offers a classic hack and slash experience with enormous hordes of enemies, deep crafting and enchanting systems, strong questline and exciting boss battles, a housing system and the unique dual-class system.

After years of war the world of Olyndale has descended into chaos.

The future of Olyndale lies on your shoulders. It is your fate - and your duty - to retrieve the magic stone and bring back peace to Olyndale.

Choose from six different classes and extend your skill set by selecting a secondary class after reaching level 15. A variety of 58 different regions with over 60 randomized and challenging dungeons await, where you battle against monsters, mortals and the living dead during your crusade to retrieve the Ember; different PvP modes as well as more than 300 skills and thousands of items will guarantee hours of exciting gameplay, extended by regular content updates.

Last year Gameforge acquired the publishing rights to Hack’n’Slash MMORPG Guardians of Ember, and will officially re-launch later this year. Through Gameforge, Guardians of Ember will introduce improved gameplay, redesigned quests, enhanced tutorials, expanded character customizations, an improved UI, new regional localization, and more.

“After the big success of Runes of Magic, we are delighted to be working with Runewaker to publish Guardians of Ember, a title that is a fantastic complement to our strong portfolio of online games,” said Alexander Rösner, CEO of Gameforge. “We look forward to serving Guardians’ existing player base and introducing it to new gamers globally. Thanks to the initial strongly positive reaction to the game’s soft launch in Europe, additional regional servers will be brought online in the coming weeks to deliver an ideal gameplay experience for fans in North America, Latin America, and Asia.”

“We couldn’t have teamed up with a publisher better suited than Gameforge to take the reigns of Guardians of Ember,” said Tony Tang, VP Business Development at Runewaker. “We look forward to seeing the game grow in popularity by reaching new players, and surprise returning players with all of the improvements that we have made and will continue to make.”
