Vela Games, a studio with members who went through Riot Games, Blizzard and EA Games, announced their first video game Evercore Heroes, a competitive PvE title with elements of fantasy and science.
“Our goal has always been to create the game that players truly want, even if that means breaking the mold,” said Vela Games CEO and Co-Founder Travis George. “With EVERCORE Heroes, we are building a unique multiplayer experience that brings skill-based cooperative play and competitive play together in a new way. And after more than two years of getting great feedback and feedback during early testing, we’re thrilled to finally share the game with everyone.”
EVERCORE Heroes is being developed by Vela Games, a Dublin-based studio founded by Travis George, Lisa Newon George and Brian Kaiser. The team is made up of veteran professionals who previously worked at Riot Games, Electronic Arts, Epic Games and Blizzard Entertainment, developers with decades of experience creating multiplayer games played by hundreds of millions of users around the world.
Players will be able to experience it first-hand the weekend of October 13-16; they just have to register on the Web and Discord from EVERCORE Heroes. If you join the Discord, you’ll have a better chance of being selected for this weekend’s exclusive playtest.
“Vela’s vision is to inspire and unite players from all over the world through this title. We want the game to be rewarding, to take all of your skill, but above all to be a positive experience for all of our players,” added George. “Our test sessions are really important to achieve this goal. Participants who send us their comments and feedback will know that we are listening to them, and will help us shape the future of EVERCORE Heroes.”
In EVERCORE Heroes, four teams of four compete against each other simultaneously in a new session-based PvE experience. To win, players must upgrade their heroes, charge up their Evercore, and defeat dangerous bosses. The best teams will work together to find the best setup and strategy, balancing their own power and making it difficult for the other teams to battle.
Players will be able to choose from a roster of various heroes, each with unique characteristics and powers, who will battle in a variety of environments, from forests and snowy peaks to lush, lush jungles and fantastical gardens. Today the first eight heroes have been presented, among which are:
shade: Shade is an expert assassin, with a goal she has been working towards all her life. Shade darts in and out of combat quickly, slashing through her enemies and fleeing the fray in seconds.
Fyn: The ancient fables speak of an unbreakable hero, a wall that defended all who needed it. Armed with the power of his shield, Fyn charges forward, pulling enemies in and protecting his teammates from harm.
Zari: Zari is the inventor of the solar arc technique. Having instructed Hydris’s most adept legions of warriors in her trademark art of combat, Zari uses her abilities to deal massive ranged damage to both single targets and small groups of enemies.
Beck: The mysterious Beko is secretly an ancient spirit of renewal. In his lantern he carries a spark of the Miraluum, the healing light he uses to protect team members from him with various healing abilities.
blink: Blink loves punching so much that he’s made it his profession. In addition to punching, Blink has specialized in crowd control with abilities that can drag and stun enemies.
Remy: The Bios Expeditionary Corps is used under extreme conditions, but only Remy has the speed, strength and cool head to work under the pressure of using the latest Bios medical technology. Speedy Remy charges into battle to save his teammates with health packs and control abilities.
Lotus: Despite being next in line to the throne, Lotus broke a millennia-old tradition by leaving the royal house of Everae to join the other Heroes in their quest to save the world. The versatile Lotus uses both physical strength and magic to heal her team in a short range while in combat.
Cynder: You can find Cynder, if he wants you to find him, at the Blue Ember, Noktra’s legendary underground club. Cynder is adept at taking down large groups of enemies using high magic damage and powerful area attacks.
