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.
Starting today PC players can finally play Evercore Heroes, with the launch of the game’s Closed Beta.
Access to the beta is possible with the purchase of the Evercore Heroes Founder’s Pack, which includes at least one additional key to share with friends, exclusive content, a battle pass that never expires, and more.
Several packages are available for would be Founders, starting at $19.99 USD and available only at the official website.
“Our team is incredibly proud to finally bring Evercore Heroes to a bigger audience of enthusiast players. With the help of our community, we’ve crafted a truly unique multiplayer experience,” said Vela Games CEO and Co-Founder, Travis George.
“Evercore Heroes is not a MOBA, an MMO, or a loot grind,” continued George. “Our game combines deep strategic and combat mastery with a focus on truly cooperative teamplay, in a competitive format. We believe fans of PVE and PVP across many different genres will enjoy Evercore Heroes, just as the tens of thousands of players who have already helped us test the game. The closed beta includes three unique stages, each with their own sets of items, enemies and head-to-head finale encounters, as well as sixteen playable heroes, with more set to be released in the coming weeks.”
Player progress during the closed beta, including any purchases made and in-game items earned, will carry over to the final free-to-play game at launch.
