Erenshor, the independent RPG its devs are calling “the single-player MMORPG” has some new updates to its demo and a new video showing off other areas of the game outside the demo content. This comes as the team teases release plans and a mock "stress test" in the form of a free open beta weekend with full access.
A single-player RPG that is set inside a simulated MMORPG, the game is designed to have the feel of MMOs and a slew of activities that do simulate the real thing. This game seems to be one answer to the “have MMORPGs become like single-player games?” question that pops up every so often. Yet, for those who want the MMO flavor without the time constraints, queues, and finding reliable groups, Burgee Media is aiming for you. With over 100 hours of gameplay already included, there are quests, monsters to slay, and a world to explore. You'll be able to upgrade your items that you acquire, experience character progression, and more ahead.
There will be NPCs that act like simulated players to party up with, so you’ll be able to complete quests, dungeons, and take on world bosses together. These party members will level up and progress independently, acquire their own gear, and even have some kind of relationship system because Burgee says that some of them will even start guilds and invite you if they like you enough.
As for those launch plans, Erenshor, which cracked the top 1500 wishlisted on Steam, will be holding that open beta mock “stress test” sometime this summer, with an appearance at October’s edition of Steam Next Fest also planned, ahead of a targeted late 2024-early 2025 Early Access release. The October appearance will have an updated demo with a “spooky GM event” on the demo island and giveaways that include a Steam key for the full game.
