ERENSHOR, THE SINGLE PLAYER MMORPG ANNOUNCES SECOND MAJOR DEMO UPDATE, TEASES RELEASE PLANS, AND SHOWS OFF GAME WORLD
New York, 27 February, 2024 - It has been the goal from the beginning to make sure the Erenshor demo accurately portrays the ongoing development cycle for the full game. As such, it has just received its second major update full of QOL features. An entire UI overhaul, better AI, better balance, and more have all landed on “Stowaway’s Step”, the demo island.
Development on the world of Erenshor is still ongoing, however, developer Burgee Media released a preview video showcasing many of the areas of the game that are not available in the demo. That video can be found here, on the developer’s youtube page:
Release Plans:
Burgee Media has begun to lay out a target roadmap for release.
This summer, Burgee Media plans to host a mock “Server Stress Test” where, in the fashion of a true MMORPG, it will open up the entire game to all users at no cost, for an entire weekend.
"We hope to gain insight into how users experience the game by giving them a free weekend to experience content beyond the demo. At this stage of development there is already 100+ hours of gameplay, and having multiple sets of eyes on it will be a great way to ensure that all of the content is enjoyable at launch. The ‘server stress test’ is just a fun way to theme the open beta, while staying on-brand to what Erenshor is trying to represent”.
The exact date of the server stress test is to be determined, but is planed for summer of 2024.
In the fall, the developer plans to feature Erenshor in the October 2024 edition of Steam “Next Fest”. The “Next Fest” demo will contain a twist - an ongoing ‘Spooky GM Event’ on the demo island, where prizes will include special in-game items, including a hidden “Golden Ticket” which will grant its finder a Steam Key to the full, in-development build of Erenshor.
As for access to the full game, an Early Access steam release is planned with a goal of ‘late 2024, or early 2025’ but Developer Burgee Media states that that date is a moving target.
What is Erenshor?
Erenshor is a single player RPG where the player plays inside of a simulated MMORPG that offers unrestricted exploration, strategic battles, and countless weapons, armors, and spells to discover. After two years of prototyping, Erenshor has joined the current top 1500 most wishlisted games on steam!
You'll hunt monsters, complete quests, and explore the lore of the world. Each upgraded item will bring tangible increases in power, and soon the unwavering foes before you will be pushed aside, revealing a challenge even greater.
Just like the MMORPGs in the late 2000s, players will be able to group with Simulated Players who will do dungeons, quests, or world bosses! They will level independently at varying rates, get their own equipment, and do their own quests. Some simulated players will even make or join guilds that the player could join, if liked enough.
