Evaluation

Eden Rising launched out of Early Access on May 17, 2019 with a free Explorer Edition and a paid Ascendant Edition expansion. Both DLC entries — the Ascendant Expansion and the Crystal Weapons Pack — were released on that same launch date. After launch, the developer shipped one major post-launch content update: the Challenge of the Thulian Masters on January 28, 2020, which added a new procedural challenge zone, new bosses, new tech, and new weapons systems. That post acknowledged the team had "gone dark" for a period before delivering this update. No further developer communications, patches, announcements, or content releases appear in the 49 news posts scanned after January 28, 2020 — a silence of over six years as of today (June 28, 2026). No future content was announced or teased alongside that final update. All DLC is released and no unreleased DLC appears in the store listing. The developer has not announced any additional content, roadmap, or continuation of development. Given the prolonged silence well beyond any reasonable update cadence, the game appears to have reached its final state with the January 2020 update.
Evidence
Challenge of the Thulian Masters update released — the last developer communication on record. Added a new procedural challenge zone, new bosses, Omega Weapons system, and Item Conversion. Developer acknowledged going silent prior to this release but offered no indication of future content plans.

About this game


Eden Rising is a brand new action-packed Open World game! Explore the vast world of Eden and defend your bases from hordes of alien monsters. Make use of everything you collect to craft powerful defenses, upgrade your weapons, and unlock challenges.

  • Explore a vast open world and uncover the secrets of Eden!
  • Craft awesome weapons, armor, and defenses!
  • Defend your bases!
  • Play solo or up to 8 player online co-op!

Eden Rising has two Editions:


The Free Explorer Edition. The Explorer Edition is the free base game with 12+ hours of gameplay. Explore Warden Rock, the Valley of the Ascendants, and the Fungal Preserve. Craft your defenses and defeat monsters in 34 challenging sieges and endless mode! Play solo or up to 8 players. This edition lets you join a friend’s Ascendant Edition server to play the game’s expansion for free!


The Ascendant Edition, which is the expansion of Eden Rising for a total of 35+ hours of gameplay. The Ascendant Edition gives you (and your friends!) access to 7 areas, 67 sieges, endless mode, armor dyes, gear unlocks, and more. If you host an Ascendant Edition server, your friends can play the expansion for free with the Free Explorer Edition!

Both versions are fully compatible! Players can join up with friends no matter which version of the game they have.

The Explorer and Ascendant Editions help friends play together!

If you are a group of friends, only one friend needs to get the Ascendant Edition expansion for everyone to have access to all the game content (base game + expansion)!
