Warriors!
ELDERBORN is coming out of Early Access in just 11 hours. It's about time we told you what's the story here.
Yes, there is an actual story behind all the gory mayhem. With the full release, we're adding a new story introduction (that you can see below and in the game's Steam profile), cut-scenes filling you in on the details of your quest, and a lot of in-game lore, that can be accessed by exploring and interacting with the environment of the game and unlocked in the game's Codex. The intro and the cut-scenes come in two different versions, depending if you select the female, or the male champion.
The story is as over-the-top as the rest of the game. Think of a 1980s/1990s VHS fantasy movie you've came across in the dark and dusty corner of your local Blockbuster. See for yourself!

WARRIORS! Please allow us to make the plea once again:
We've put 5 years of our lives into ELDERBORN and we need your help to make it a successful release. If you are planning to get the game, it would be wonderful if you did that within the first 24 hours of the release. This way Steam will notice, that people want to play ELDERBORN and will consider giving us a little more valuable exposure.
Please also consider helping us out a bit to gain more visibility. Follow our Twitter or Facebook and consider sharing our posts. At this time - we'd appreciate you sharing the ones featuring our new trailer ([ELDERBORN Trailer on Twitter] [ELDERBORN Trailer on Facebook]; you can also see it in the store page now!). Tell your friends about the Metal AF experience that will let them unleash their inner barbarian!
If you happen to be a content creator of any sorts - a streamer, youtuber, blogger - or part of the gaming media, please reach out to us for a review copy of the game. We will to try to reach you on our own, but shooting us an email at [email protected] will greatly speed up that process.
The next time you hear from us here, we won't be an Early Access title any longer.
Stay metal, Warriors!
Yours, The HYPERSTRANGE Team
