Return to this eternally-loved game as you’ve never seen it before
Amsterdam — The Netherlands | June 29, 2023 – Kakao Games are thrilled to announce that Eternal Return will officially leave early access this July! The newly-named Eternal Return 1.0 is the culmination of years of feedback, testing and development and will be released on July 20.
Eternal Return — available since October 2020 in Early Access — sees players face-off in a unique multiplayer online area. Combatants are encouraged to utilise various battle strategies, and an expansive roster of characters, before hopefully walking away victorious — as the lone survivor. With 50,000 concurrent users at peak during Early Access, Eternal Return received incredible feedback and was awarded the ‘Popular Game Award’ at the 2021 Korea Game Awards.
A perfect starting point for new players to jump in, or returning players to discover what’s new, Eternal Return 1.0 follows 70 major updates and 9 seasons of growing content. Kakao Games and Nimble Neuron have focused on improving this beloved MOBA and making it the game its players have always known it could be.
The entire experience has been rebuilt from the ground up, ensuring that it is as streamlined as possible, especially traversal, which players in Early Access have asked to see developed. Previously, players needed to learn how to “climb with a rope” or “scale a wall”, with some sections already crashed or “fallen”. In 1.0, this process is much simpler.
Eternal Return 1.0’s Launch Update also comes with a host of new features that connect players to the game like never before. Players will be able explore the incredible world of Lumia Island like never before.
Alongside its new features, from the 28th of June to the 17 of July, players can earn a host of new cosmetic extras including:
- 4 Emotes
- Midnight Aurora Rio Skin
- Dr. Nadja Icons
- Dr. Nadja Background
- Dr. Nadja Border
Kakao Games and Nimble Neuron will continue to disclose information about Eternal Return 1.0 through the Dev Journal, so keep an eye out for more news ahead of the official launch on July 20.
