Take a stand in the eternal conflict between Arcane Magic and Steampunk Revolution and tip the uneasy balance between sorcery, elves, dwarves and mysterious monsters on one side and steampunk gadgets, zeppelins, and tesla guns on the other in this single-player, party-based, story-rich RPG.

The New World looms on the horizon, on its shore the shining city of progress, and the last beacon of hope in your search for a cure to your family's fatal disease - New Arc. You arrive to this foreign land by steerage of a steamship, cramped with thousands of other immigrants, a stranger in a strange land, full of wonder. But you will soon discover that the city's beauty runs only skin-deep and all you find is rot beneath the golden facade.

Dark smoke from the factories chokes the skies, segregation, inequality, and corruption run rampant. You will have to rise from the very bottom, make tough decisions, and get your hands dirty if you are to succeed - and you must, no matter the cost!

Craft technopunk gear or master the arcane arts, fight, steal or smooth-talk your way to the top and become the hero or villain you want to be. You will not have to face the trials of this world alone, however; find your companions and gather your party, make foes and allies, fall in love, get involved in a massive conspiracy, and change the course of history forever.

Will you rise to the occasion?

Fulqrum Publishing and Ukrainian developers Dreamate are delighted to announce that New Arc Line is out now and available to purchase in Early Access via Steam, Epic Games Store, and GOG with a special 15% discount for the first week of release!

This Early Access launch features about a quarter of the main story and around a third of the full game’s overall content, giving players access to three of the planned six total companions in the final game. New mechanics and features, companions, classes, areas, and quests will come in content updates throughout the Early Access period, with the full release currently planned for late 2025.

“The Early Access version includes two playable races (human and elf), two classes (Voodoo Shaman and Dieselpunk Engineer), and the first approximately 25% of the main storyline; including various side quests and areas, we estimate it to be roughly a third of the planned full release and should take up to around 10 hours to complete, depending on the playstyle, the amount of exploration done, etc.”

“We plan to significantly expand the content of the game, including new areas, quests, equipment, companions and playable classes and races, as well as mechanics (such as the sub-class system) and new abilities and spells. Perhaps most importantly, the Early Access version does not include the full story. We are also planning to add more textual localizations to the game at full launch, including French, German, Spanish, Ukrainian, Simplified Chinese and Russian. Of course, due to the nature of Early Access, our plans can change based on community feedback.”

Key Features:

• Become the Hero or the Villain you want to be: Create your own character as a Human or Elf, choose your gender, background and appearance. Keep in mind that inhabitants of this world might have their own prejudices and will treat you differently depending on your choices.
• Gather your Party: You won’t be alone on these shores. Meet & recruit a diverse cast of characters, learn their stories, face their demons together and help them grow, or use them for your own gain and discard them as fits your schemes. Who knows, maybe you will even find your true love!
• Master Technology or Magic: Will you master the secrets of Magic to incinerate enemies as a Hellfire occultist, curse them with mystical Voodoo abilities, or assist your allies as a Celestial sage? Or will you rather cast aside the obsolete ways and become a Steampunk mechanic, Dieselpunk engineer or Teslapunk scientist, and turn your character into a walking steam-powered fortress?
• Fight for your Right: Command your party in turn-based tactical battles. Fight head-on and brute-force your way through encounters or observe and analyze each situation and come up with cunning strategies to conquer even seemingly overwhelming odds. There’s a plethora of skills, spells, crafting recipes and consumables at your disposal to turn the tide of battle in your favor.
• Manifest Your Destiny: Make a name for yourself, influence countless lives for better or worse, and watch the consequences of your choices unfold. You may start out as only a poor immigrant, but soon your exploits will fill the front pages of newspapers and the events you set in motion will change the fate of the New World forever.

New Arc Line will be available on PC (Steam, Epic Games Store, GOG), Xbox Series X|S and PS5 in late 2025.
