Warriors! After a long journey full of challenging side quests and adventure, ELDERBORN is in the final stretch of development. We'll be announcing the date of our full release in a few dayss, but first things first. Let’s talk about all the awesome new things happening to the game on Steam today!
ELDERBORN + Soundtrack + Digital Artbook = Metal AF Edition
We're adding a bunch of digital goodies to ELDERBORN on Steam. Music buffs will be happy to learn that this includes the full game OST - a 10-track album composed by Kacper Kajzerski. Kacper uses the exotic sound of the Armenian duduk and Turkish oud or zurna, among other instruments, to capture the uniqueness of the game’s setting. The music, however, remains true to the modern heavy metal form, with all its defining characteristics. A touch of electronic beats complete the aeclectic, unmistakable mixture that defines the sound of ELDERBORN.
The second piece of digital bonus content is an artbook we’ve prepared for you, so you can see the amazingly varied collection of concept arts that helped us to put the vision of ELDERBORN together, and learn a little bit more of the game’s lore. All this you get in the $19.77 edition, that from this day forth shall be known as ELDERBORN - Metal AF Edition. On top of our utmost gratitude, everyone who has bought the game in Early Access up to this date gets a free upgrade to this deluxe version.
Just the game, please!
Today, we are introducing a second, basic purchase option for ELDERBORN. Priced at $14.99, the standard edition includes the game and the game only. When we released ELDERBORN into Steam Early Access a bit over one year ago, some external factors dictated both the price point and the formula of the release. Today, being in full control of our game, we want to make sure to give everyone the right option to get into ELDERBORN. This basic option gets you the complete game, and both editions will be equally supported. The only thing you’ll be missing out on in this option, are the digital goodies - the artbook and the soundtrack. But hey, if you decide you love the game - you can always get them separately. Why don't you listen to the first track and see if that helps you decide!
More good news: lowering the requirements
As we progress towards release, ELDERBORN becomes more stable, optimized, and QA tested on more systems. At this point, we feel confident enough to substantially lower the system requirements presented on the Steam store profile. In fact - we did this a while ago, but we’re bringing it up in case it escaped your attention. As of now, we’re confident that a rig equipped with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M, Intel Core i5-7500, and 4GB RAM is enough to run ELDERBORN comfortably. That said - the game requires to be played in 40FPS or more to be what we want it to be. If your machine can’t pull it off - consider lowering the resolution in favor of more FPS.
