Set in a beautiful science-fantasy universe overflowing with unique heroes, potent magical abilities, and formidable enemies, each game offers a fresh challenge. Unlock new heroes and powers as you progress to unleash wild new ways to play!

You are one of the Luum Sentinels, a team of powerful heroes defending Lumerea from chaos. The sinister Fate's Blade has shattered the Evercore and disrupted the world's balance of magic. Only by teaming up can the heroes recover the scattered fragments and restore the Evercore before the Fate's Blade corrupts Lumerea's magic forever!

The only way to survive each trial of devious monsters and challenges is to play together as a team. Coordinate your attacks, play your roles, have each other's backs, and you can achieve glorious victory!

Strike out from your home base in Castle Everae to take on one of several highly-replayable missions. Each randomly-selected mission offers you a fresh gauntlet of challenges, monsters, rewards, and one terrifying boss in a tight ~30 minute adventure.

Vela Games announced that Evercore Heroes: Ascension will enter Early Access on June 19, 2025.

A demo of the game is available now and will be part of the roster for the upcoming Steam Next Fest, which will take place from 9 to 16 June.

Following Steam Next Fest, Evercore Heroes: Ascension is jumping into Early Access for just $12.49 / €11.49 / £9.99 — priced so friends can easily team up and play together.

“Ascension embraces the concept of pure cooperative gameplay, focusing on dynamic runs, unique hero-based gameplay in an intuitive format. This makes for great co-op gameplay, tighter teamwork, replayability, and accessible design that allow you to just have fun on each run you make,” said Vela Games CEO and Co-Founder Travis George.

During the demo and through to Early Access, players can expect:

• A CO-OP ROGUELITE LIKE NO OTHER: Designed for teamwork, but playable solo, every mission tests your skill, coordination, and adaptability. Play your role, cover your allies, and overcome impossible odds together.

By collecting powerful Shards, you can redefine your Tank, Damage, or Support role to twist your Sentinel's abilities, create new hybrid roles, and form new team synergies.

Each hero can be customized in every run with hundreds of shards, attribute upgrades, talents, and other modifiers earned by successfully completing challenges. Make meaningful choices as you explore each mission and prepare your Sentinel for the final challenge!
