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.

As a Guardian of Ember, your brotherhood marks the last line of defense against a dark menace. Sinister forces threaten the land and can only be stopped by the ancient Ember. 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.

Heed a hero’s calling — the gates to the perilous world of Olyndale are once again open. Publisher Gameforge today launched the Open Beta for their free-to-play Hack and Slash MMORPG Guardians of Ember!

The 2019 re-launch of Guardians of Ember in Beta already features numerous quality of life improvements — to gameplay, missions, character customizations, UI optimization, and more — as well as expanded regional localization support and additional languages. 

"We saw a considerable number of players joining Guardians of Ember from several countries when we announced the new local servers, and so we have put a lot of effort in making the game available in their native languages so that they can enjoy the same immersive experience as other players do in their own language” said Alexander Rösner, Founder and CEO of Gameforge. Guardians of Ember has been available in English, Spanish, and German throughout the Closed Beta. Starting today, the game will also be available in French, Italian, Turkish, and Polish."

Would-be guardians eager to try the re-launched version of Guardians of Ember and get a head start on leveling their characters can download the Open Beta at the official site here.  

As a thank-you to all the brave guardians who are ready to set foot on the battlefield, special items and freebies are available to newcomers and veterans alike. Olyndale’s newest heroes who registered to Guardians of Ember during the Beta phases will be rewarded with an exclusive in-game title honoring their participation in the test phases. 

Players who had purchased the game on Steam while it was under publisher Insel Games have been taken care of by the Veterans’ Reward program, which provides many valuable items at no cost for them when they return to the game. Multiple free items are also currently available for all Guardians of Ember players in the newly opened Premium Shop — from valuable resurrection spells, stat boosters, and more.
