Set in a rich, science fantasy world called Lumerea, the game breaks new ground by combining the real-time, skill-based teamplay and action of MOBAs with the adventure of co-operative MMO dungeon runs.

In Evercore Heroes, four teams of four compete with each other simultaneously in a brand-new session based PVE experience. To win, players must power up their heroes, charge their Evercore, and defeat a dangerous boss. The best teams will work together to find the right composition and strategy, balancing trade-offs between their own power and making the battle more difficult for the other teams.

Players will choose from a roster of diverse heroes, each with unique traits and powers, doing battle in a variety of different environments, from frigid forests and snowy peaks to deep jungles and lush, fantastical gardens.

We have an important update regarding the playtest planned for tomorrow Thursday the 15th. To make sure we can give you the best experience possible we'll need a few more days to work on the game.

Because of this we have decided to move the playtest from tomorrow to next week Tuesday.

New playtest dates and time

Date: 20 - 21 December 2022

• Europe: 3pm - 11am GMT+1
• North America: 9am - 5am EST / 6am - 2am PST 

Why did we move the playtest?

While the current core features are in a good state, our first and foremost priority is to give you all not just a good time, but a great time! Some glitches and bugs are expected at this stage however we really believe that these extra few days of polishing will let you play a version of Evercore Heroes reflecting your feedback from the previous playtest.

What does this mean for me?

Nothing changes outside of us delaying the playtest to next week. You will not need to sign up again and if you are selected you'll receive an email from us with the next steps.

What about playing with friends?

In the holiday spirit of sharing we'll be adding additional invites to our selected playtesters so you can invite one of your friends to join the fun next week!

The first eight heroes have been revealed today:

• Shade: Shade is a master assassin, a goal she’s worked toward her entire life. Shade jumps in and out of combat, slicing through enemies, dispatching targets, and making quick escapes.
• Fyn: Ancient fables tell of a steadfast hero, a living wall who defended all in need. With his power-shield ready, Fyn charges forward, enrages enemies, and protects his teammates from danger.
• Zari: Zari is the creator of Solar-Bow Archery. Having taught her signature combat art to legions of Hydris’ most adept warriors, Zari combines her abilities to do massive, ranged damage to single targets and small groups of enemies.
• Beko: The mysterious Beko is secretly an ancient spirit of rejuvenation. In his lantern he carries a spark of the Miraluum, the healing light used to protect his teammates with a variety of heal-over-time abilities.
• Blink: Blink loves punching so much she made it her career. In addition to punching, Blink specializes in crowd control with abilities that can pull and stun enemies.
• Remy: The Bios Expeditionary Corps is used to extreme conditions, but only Remy has the speed, the strength, and the cool head under pressure to wield the bleeding edge of Bios’ medical magitech. The speedy Remy runs into the thick of the battle to save teammates with health packs and control abilities.
• Lotus: Even though she is next in line for the throne, Lotus broke millennia of tradition by leaving the royal house of Everae to join the other Heroes in their quest to heal the world.The versatile Lotus uses both physical power and magic to keep her team healed within short range while engaging in combat
• Cynder: You can find Cynder in Noktra’s legendary underground club, the Blue Ember (when he wants to be found). Cynder is all about shutting down large groups of enemies with high magic damage and AoE attacks.
