Set in a true-to-life vision of the fabled lost civilization, players will be able to admire historically accurate artefacts as they solve challenging puzzles and make decisions that could impact human civilization forever.

Set sail to the legendary city of Atlantis, standing atop the fertile central plains of a mountainous island which rose straight from the ocean of ancient Greece. Visit the citadel’s main harbor sprinkled with outdoor markets filled with occult artefacts, statues and worshiping venues. Meet the village fishermen and its sacred temples, acquire supernatural powers and let your spiritual beliefs guide you through the Atlanteans religious wisdom and mysticism practices.

Alternate history fans will be transported to the lost civilization of Atlantis to unravel its mysteries, wield supernatural powers and, maybe, prevent a global catastrophe. Fill in the sandals of an Atlantean unfairly jailed and escape from captivity. Join forces with the clerics to find the oracle and witness epic battles where giant centurions battle for the sake of Atlantean Minds.

Decode secret messages to gather clues, read the sky and the constellations to channel the stars power , play with mystical energies to open your path. With the guidance of Atlantean allies like Danae, players will learn how to use complex mechanisms to solve challenging puzzles. Your logic skills will be put to the test, leaving you without a minute to rest. At the same time, you will acquire telekinesis powers, allowing you to manipulate the environment to your advantage.

Originally planned for December 8, 2020, developer VR Connection announced a slight delay for Ryte: The Eye of Atlantis.

"Due to the remote work adjustments during the COVID-19 second lockdown in France which were necessary to keep everyone healthy, the current version of Ryte: The Eye of Atlantis did not quite reach the technical quality standards that the studio and us have set and wanted to achieve for the release on December 8th.

With so much work and dedication put into this project we feel we owe the players to deliver the most polished experience and decided to postpone the release to January 27, 2021.

We apologize to everyone who was expecting the game today. This decision was not an easy one to make. But achieving excellence is our goal and we apologize about the inconvenience and thank you for your patience"

Throughout the course of the adventure, players will constantly have to weigh the consequences of their actions, as moral decisions, quick wits and an eye for secrets will determine one of fours distinct endings and the fate of both Atlantis and oneself.

Ryte: The Eye of Atlantis will launch for Steam VR and Oculus on January 27, 2020.
