'Eden Rising' Includes Free-to-Play Option

Eden Rising blends open world action with both tower defense and survival elements to create a unique co-op focused game that will bring the genre into the next generation.

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!


Eden Rising will offer a free-to-play option at launch, allowing players to join the servers of paid players to experience high-level content and gain high-level loot.

Nvizzio Creations has revealed yet another surprise for Eden Rising fans in announcing the addition of the free-to-play ‘Explorer Edition’ that contains no microtransactions within the game. Players wanting a more robust experience of exploring Eden will be able to purchase the ‘Ascendant Edition’ and unlock an additional four zones, all sieges, and armor dyes, as well as access to increased server benefits.

Players opting for either game option will be able to delve into the stylistic and genre-blending world of Eden Rising with both versions offering a complete experience for players. With a minimum of three expansive areas to explore, Eden Rising will challenge players to gather resources to craft armor and defenses, while navigating the environmentally lush and dynamic world full of exotic creatures in order to defend their bases.

With both versions fully compatible, players will be able to join up with friends no matter which version of the game they opt for. ‘Explorer Edition’ players will also be able to enjoy the ‘Ascendant Edition’ features should they join a server with an ‘Ascendant Edition’ owner. Players that have already been exploring the world of Eden and own the game’s Early Access version will automatically receive the ‘Ascendant Edition’ at the time of the game’s full launch.

Eden Rising will be launching on Steam for ‘Explorers’ and ‘Ascendants’ alike on May 17

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

Currently available on Steam Early Access, Eden Rising is scheduled for fully launch on May 17, 2019.
