'Eden Rising' Launches With Free-to-Play And Premium Option

by Rainier on May 17, 2019 @ 8:27 a.m. PDT

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!

One year after its successful release on Early Access, Eden Rising has launched on Steam.

It brings all-new features and content such as resource cultivation, character customization, a revamped item upgrade system, and an expanded multiplayer co-op for up to 8 players. The game has also introduced its free-to-play ‘Explorer Edition,’ a fully-featured gameplay experience with no microtransactions. Players that owned the Early Access version of the game will now have access to the ‘Ascendant Edition,’ which is available to purchase for new players. This edition includes four additional areas, more sieges, armor dyes, extra bestiary mastery, and more.

No matter which game version players opt for, they’ll be able to seamlessly explore the world of Eden with friends. ‘Ascendant Edition’ owners can share the additional features of their game version with friends who join their servers. Whether playing solo or in up to 8-player co-op, Eden Rising will challenge players with navigating a vibrant world full of exotic and dangerous creatures.

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 is now available on PC (Steam) for free with the ‘Explorer Edition’ or the ‘Ascendant Edition’ for $24.99 US.
