Description

From Malbadur, an evil spirit arose that should never have existed. Its ascension tore through the dimensional mirror, opening five rifts—living wounds in the sky that connect the world to its inverted reflection. From these rifts, an unknown energy began to spread, corrupting everything it touched in the world of Aetherion.

The rituals for acquiring companion spirits have changed—warriors now face beasts corrupted by the rifts to prove they are worthy. Their bodies twist, their minds unravel, and their fury knows no limits. Those who lose the battle are exiled.

And so, the beautiful land once known as a paradise has become nothing but the ashes of its past.

Attention:
The game is in its final stages before exiting Early Access.

At the moment, gameplay is available up to the last stage before character release. The rest of the world will be released on 04/30/2026, possibly alongside the launch of PvP and Multiplayer.


Current Features:

  • The game blends Medieval, Eastern, and Nordic themes for its setting.

  • You have mount spirits, each corresponding to your character.

  • Each Mount Spirit has a unique ability, expanding gameplay possibilities.

  • By pressing the jump key while in midair, you can transform into a crow and glide.

  • You can equip 2 weapons on your character and switch between them using the [TAB] key.

  • Each character starts with 2 class-based weapons, but all are hybrids and can equip weapons from other classes.

  • A unique inventory system: everything you acquire in your world is saved. When accessing other worlds, your items remain, and anything you obtain there will also stay in your inventory.

  • Be careful—certain locations across the world may activate PvP mode, allowing other players in your world to attack you.

  • PvP mode will feature a global ranking system that increases with each victory.

  • Unique PvP modes with mini-games.

  • Weather and day/night cycles—be cautious, as some monsters grow stronger at night.
