Evaluation

On March 4, 2026, Notorious Studios founder and CEO Chris Kaleiki published a farewell post announcing that Eldegarde is being shut down. The studio cited insufficient player traction to sustain the business financially. The game was taken off sale on Steam at that time, with servers remaining online only through March 31, 2026 — a date that has now passed. As of today (June 19, 2026), the game's servers are no longer running. The studio acknowledged that most of the team has moved on, though a small volunteer group expressed hope of eventually converting the game to an offline or self-hosted format — explicitly noting this is not a promise and may never happen. Notorious Studios also stated the five-year studio chapter has ended. The game is no longer purchasable and is no longer playable.

About this game

Eldegarde is a third-person action PvPvE RPG featuring distinctive fantasy classes. Go on adventures solo or with friends to search for treasures, level up, and defeat any who stand in your way.



Choose between 6 iconic classic fantasy classes to level up: the Warrior, Rogue, Hunter, Priest, Wizard and Paladin, each with their own character model, armor, weapons and skills.

Explore 5 unique zones with up to 32 different creature encounters. Embark solo or with up to 2 others in either PvE Expeditions, PvPvE Extraction or fast-paced Arenas.


Bring your best gear and potions into every adventure, but beware. Death comes at a cost, and in PvPvE, others can claim what’s yours.

When you can't find the loot you want, craft it with Eldegarde's rich crafting and progression system. 

Earn reputation with the vendors in Stonehaven to unlock new crafting recipes. Build your Lodge and unlock furnishings like the Forge to process Ore, the Bed to earn Rested Experience, or the Critter Habitat where you house Goldgrubs to spin golden thread for passive income!

KEY FEATURES

  • Level up six unique classes, each with powerful abilities, weapons, and gear sets with powerful and unique perks.

  • Embark on PvE Expeditions beginning at Goldbrook Farmstead, where you’ll hunt down Mor’thog the Cruel, a menace threatening the people of Eldegarde.
