Today, Canadian developers Nvizzio Creations and Meridian 4 announced that their new game, Eden Rising: Supremacy will launch on Steam in early access on May 17th, 2018. This multiplayer open world-tower defense hybrid delivers a unique co-op experience as players are tasked with mastering a vibrant alien world in a unique and refreshing blend of exploration, crafting, action, combat and tower defense.
Players will be able to get their hands on Eden Rising: Supremacy for an introductory price of US$14.99 on Steam.
Nvizzio’s Lead Designer, Brent Ellison:
“Eden Rising is the perfect co-op game for friends and online communities. You and your friends will explore an incredibly beautiful alien world, craft dozens of items and triumph over tough tower defense challenges. At the start of early access, up to 8 players will be able to share their own persistent version of Eden and we can’t wait to hear their stories.We have an extremely ambitious roadmap for Eden Rising and strongly believe that game development should be a collaborative process alongside the players. We are truly looking forward to engaging with the community to make Eden Rising the best and most creative game it can be.”

The trailer also shows some of the alien life that is at war with The Crucible. There’s so much amazing diversity in the different biomes, but one thing is for certain: these creatures won’t stop until the last Crucible is destroyed.
The game has multiple elements that players will have to master. Including a robust battle system that contains both tower-defense inspired elements and open-world exploration. Enemies will either relentlessly assault the activated Crucible in an attempt to destroy it, or they will attack the players if they are approached in the open world.
Accessing the Crucible is a crucial part of the gameplay, as activating and defending them from falling to a siege successfully leads to unlocking different tech items that allow you to upgrade your armor and weapons. The players have to activate and defend each of the multiple Crucibles strewn throughout the open-world, as well as power up their Warden to deal efficiently with the hostile alien life.
- Open world, co-op that blends tower defense action with open world survival.
- Explore a rich, open world full of exotic flora and fauna.
- Survive an alien planet filled with danger around every turn.
- Defend the crucibles in action-packed tower defense gameplay.
- Craft a variety of unique weapons, armor, and traps to defend the Crucibles.
- 8-player co-op (16-player at full launch); create your own server for your friends or join an open one.
- Customize your server difficulty for tribes of any size and control the challenge.
The game will launch with an array of features already in place including a 4 square mile world with four distinct biomes to explore that will only increase in size and scope during early access development. The early access version will have over 30 hours of content including some end game content for players to team up and test themselves against.
Nvizzio has just launched a web video series, The Ascendants’ Vault, that takes an in-depth look at Eden Rising’s stunning world and core features. Each week Nvizzio will release a new episode uncovering more about the mysterious world of Eden.
