Abyss :

The thrilling world of Abyss Online, a game that's transforming the MMORPG landscape through its pioneering development and enthralling narrative. Crafted by an innovative pair of developers and supported by a fluid workforce, Abyss Online has made remarkable strides by reaching early access in just 2.5 years, while still in pre-alpha, it still sets a new standard in the genre. As we embark on this journey in its pre-alpha phase, our goal is not just to build a game, but to foster a community where players and developers together shape the future of Abyss Online. Powered by the robust capabilities of Unreal Engine 5.4, we're not just creating worlds; we're bringing them to life in ways you have to see to believe. Join us in shaping a game where your voice truly matters, right from its early stages.

 

Abyss Online is setting a new standard for MMORPG Early Access releases by offering a free playtest on Steam, starting this week, to witness the development status and progression first hand. In addition to this unique opportunity, Abyss Online is excited to announce its Early Access availability on STOVE, Asia's leading game platform. Managed by Smilegate, STOVE has rapidly emerged as a premier Electronic Software Distribution (ESD) platform, boasting a global user base of 170 million and 32 million in Korea alone.

Our approach to Early Access is driven by a commitment to transparency and a desire to incorporate player feedback. This ensures that all prospective players can fully understand and appreciate the current Pre-Alpha state of Abyss Online before making a purchase. Join us in shaping the future of this exciting game.

 

Described as "Ultima/Albion Online meets ARK: Survival Evolved," Abyss Online invites players to the mystical realm of Aeternea, where echoes of a forgotten past whisper through the ruins of once-great cities. This land, standing on the brink of rediscovery, is shrouded in the mysteries of the abyss, with the voidgate's wrath having erased memories and histories. Players will embark on a journey of discovery, adventure, and understanding as they navigate a world filled with wonders, dangers, and the eternal quest to uncover the secrets of the universe.

 

We believe in releasing a playable game, despite its initial roughness, to foster a deep connection with our community. Through player feedback, we aim to polish and refine Abyss Online into a full-fledged experience that exceeds expectations. This player-driven development process ensures that we create a game that resonates with our audience and stands the test of time.

 

Abyss Online is not just a game; it's a sandbox of possibilities where players can explore vast landscapes, engage in dynamic combat, participate in a player-driven economy, and become part of a thriving community. With its skill-based progression, open-world exploration, and rich lore, Abyss Online is poised to become a landmark title in the MMORPG genre.

 

Join us on this extraordinary journey and help shape the future of Abyss Online and the world of Aeternea. Together, we will explore the unknown, challenge the impossible, and create a legacy that will echo through the ages.
