Open-World Survival RPG Endalor Announced for Early Access
Developer Diorite Games announces its upcoming open-world survival RPG for Steam platform release. Endalor Early Access launches later this year, blending soulslike combat with survival mechanics throughout. The game combines the dark fantasy atmosphere of Elden Ring with Valheim’s crafting systems. Players explore a harsh world filled with menacing opponents and punishing combat encounters. The classic roll-dodge mechanic from souls games forms the core of combat here. Open-world exploration helps you find resources for building and crafting essential items. You can establish a homestead as your base of operations throughout the journey. Elden Ring revolutionized the soulslike formula with its open-world approach years ago. Valheim set new standards for survival RPGs with its popular high fantasy setting. Endalor draws heavy inspiration from both titles while forging its own identity.
Solo or Co-op Survival Adventure with Friends
You can tackle this adventure alone or with up to four players online together. Teamwork becomes essential given how harsh the world can be throughout exploration. The survival mechanics encourage resource gathering and base building for safety reasons. Graphics resemble Valheim’s style within a dark fantasy world reminiscent of Elden Ring. Menacing opponents inspired by souls games test your combat skills constantly during encounters. Resource management and crafting keep you alive between battles and exploration sessions. The game features punishing combat led by menacing opponents throughout the experience. Promotional material reveals opponents that resemble tough enemies from Elden Ring visually.
Development Timeline and Early Access Plans
Gameplay looks fluid and polished in both combat and crafting aspects shown so far publicly. The developers expect the RPG to remain in Early Access for 12 to 18 months total. Community feedback will help shape the final product over time through regular updates. The Q1 2026 release window suggests a launch by the end of March potentially.
Diorite Games plans regular content updates during the Early Access period for players. Player suggestions will directly influence the game’s development direction and priorities. The team expects the Early Access period to last around one year. This timeline allows for thorough testing and refinement based on community input.
