[Interfectum]

Best indie "JRPG" released in the past few years. Will buy this for sure.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

The DLC will release on Switch, Xbox and PlayStation as well.

Deck13 Spotlight and Umami Tiger, the newly founded studio by Chained Echoes creator Matthias Linda, have announced Ashes of Elrant, the much-anticipated story DLC for the critically acclaimed JRPG. This expansion is slated for release in Q2 2025 on PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.

Awesome!, I'll get this for sure.
Really loved the game, it's probably my favorite retro style JRPG so far and still up there as one of my favorite games this gen.

 

[mèx]

Holy shit. I was not expecting this one. Wishlisted at lightning speed.

It's the best indie JRPG by far, made by a solo dev to boot. And it manages to school many AA-AAA games too in my opinion. Good stuff all around.

 

[Punished Miku]

I bought it but still haven't played it. Guess I'll wait.

 

[Zacfoldor]

I played the first hour or so about a year ago. I remember it being super fun and thinking it may have some of the best turn based combat I'd played in a while. Glad to see if isn't being forgotten about because what I played of it was really, really good.

 

[Metnut]

I was shocked how much better this was than Sea of Stars. Not sure I need DLC, but glad the game did well.

 

[toxiichollow]

if this game was released during the Snes generation, it would be consider a classic.

 

[Northeastmonk]

I started this. Great JRPG on the Steam Deck. Someday I’d like to play through it.

 

[mopspear]

A small-time streamer I like a lot did a funny and very in-depth review on Chained Echoes and Sea of Stars and how they took their inspiration too far.

 

[Sensei]

I'm still waiting for my copy from First Press Games. Hopefully it will arrive in time for the DLC.

Wait, so the physical release will be this late - will it at least have the DLC on cart?

It probably won't have the DLC at all, since the physical edition was announced almost two years ago and is now (supposedly) in the final stages of release.

It has gone gold I think, they had mentioned they were shipping the images for the PS4 for production so I doubt it will have the DLC.

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

Still have yet to pick this up, will wait for the DLC for the ultimate package

 

[jshackles]

Still haven't played this (and it's looking more and more unlikely I ever will) because I've been waiting on my Switch physical copy that I ordered in 2022.

They sent me a Steam download code a few months ago, but I kinda wanted to play this on the Switch, and I didn't spend $65 to get a Steam key.

 

[Mayar]

I love the first one, 100% will buy this one as soon as it comes out, if possible I need to try to grab either the limited or collector's edition...

 

[Seyken]

Am I the only one who really likes the art and everything about the game's visual BUT the main characters sprite art?

 

[Shifty1897]

The base game was incredible, I'm all in for this!

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

I didn't finish the game when I finally checked it out a couple months back (blame Metaphor), but what I played was excellent. Definitely will dive back in when this launches.

 

[Arachnid]

Day 1.

 

[ScythD]

Awesome, I really enjoyed the base game. Not too much time for video games these days but I'll definitely pick this up.
