Greetings Ellarians! We’re happy to announce today a very important step in our path towards full release. As we have explained before, one of the most important features that will be implemented upon full release is the single-player story campaign. It will be an exciting, epic story that spans the whole continent of Ellaria. And this weekend, we’ll be releasing some content of its 1st chapter as a beta branch for those of you who want to help us fine-tuning it with your feedback!
To be more precise, this beta will offer around a 60% of all the content that will be included in the final 1st chapter of the campaign. This includes a good chunk of the main quests, side quests and many characters you can meet; we have stopped at a moment where the story starts branching into what will be found in Chapter 2. We think this is more than enough to offer a significant taste of what will be, without spoiling too much of the final experience (or leave the beta-testers hanging for too long!).
We have mentioned before that, when the story of Legends of Ellaria begins, you are escaping with your people from a dying world. Crossing a magic portal you get to Ellaria, where you settle and quickly gather strengths to become a brand new major power. To help you remember this backstory and give you a hint of what comes next, we’re revealing today the short cutscene that will play when you begin the 1st chapter of the story!
In the coming days we’ll give you more details about when this beta will be released and how to access it. After a short time in the beta branch, this content will be implemented in the main branch, available to all our players even during this last leg of our Early Access. Stay tuned – and happy holidays to you all!
If you own a copy of Legends of Ellaria but still haven't joined the closed Beta, please join us on our Discord server, PM us with @Admin and we will set you up! In case you don't have a Discord, you can also contact us here.
Thank you for the support, and we hope to build a great game alongside you.
See you in Ellaria,
The Larkon Studio Team
