It’s early access launch day for Echoes of Elysium at last. Readers will remember that the MMO-inspired co-op airship sandbox flew into view way back in 2024 but was fairly quiet last year as studio Loric Games had its head down working. It then re-emerged last fall to pinpoint a December 4th relaunch with a big revamp patch, then delayed past the holidays. Today, we’re finally seeing the doors flung open wide to the public… if you’re willing to pony up $20 ($18 during launch week).
“The Early Access launch features Echoes of Elysium’s core crafting and survival systems, along with its expansive first region, several hours of quest content, and a final boss,” the team says today. “Players can engage in up to 6-player co-op or solo offline play and progress to build Tier 2 weapons, tools, and airship components. As Echoes of Elysium progresses throughout Early Access, it will receive additional biomes with new resources, recipes, and higher-tier airship components, along with more narrative content and endgame features.”
The roadmap further promises support for controllers and Steam Deck, player customization, and the Pilot class over the course of spring and summer.

Launch is expected at 1 p.m. EST, so not long to wait now.
