Evaluation

Legends of Ellaria reached its 1.0 full release on April 1, 2021, after a period in Early Access. Following launch, the developer (Larkon Studio) maintained a steady stream of patches and announcements through mid-2023. In a July 2021 Q&A post, the developer confirmed that post-launch development would continue and explicitly mentioned a "Necromancer DLC" was in progress. This promise was echoed again in August and October 2021 patch notes. However, there is no evidence in any subsequent post — including through the final communication on July 2, 2023 — that the Necromancer DLC ever shipped. The developer's announcements about it gradually faded without any release or formal cancellation statement. The last developer communication was a performance patch on July 2, 2023. Since that date, there have been no further news posts, patch notes, roadmap updates, or developer statements of any kind. The previously announced Necromancer DLC never appeared in the DLC listing as a released or even an unreleased store entry, meaning there is no concrete store-level commitment to future content. The developer's silence since July 2, 2023 — nearly three years as of today — combined with the absence of any DLC listing or follow-up roadmap, strongly suggests that active development has concluded. While the Necromancer DLC was mentioned multiple times in 2021, no subsequent post after 2021 reaffirmed it as actively in development, and no store listing for it was ever created. The pattern of developer communication wound down gradually: announcements in 2021–2022 about improvements, a final feature patch in July 2023, and then complete silence. This trajectory, ending in nearly three years of no communication, indicates the game has reached the end of its post-launch support lifecycle.

About this game





Legends of Ellaria is a unique blend of first-person adventure, real-time strategy and roleplaying sandbox game where you can build your own kingdom, fight epic battles and explore an immersive fantasy world. You play as a lord who flees from a dying world with his subjects, founding a new kingdom in the world of Ellaria -- a crossroad between dimensions where other factions and races have settled, just like you, and fight for control over the priced magical resource of the Riftstones. Explore a vast world in first-person adventures, build your cities and kingdom in real-time strategy mechanics, command your armies and lead them from the front lines, or send your heroes and generals to lead your forces for you!

Beta Testing

A NEW HOPE FOR A DYING WORLD


A long time ago your homeworld, Mara, was a thriving world, where proud lords ruled over vast and rich kingdoms. Their awe-inspiring powers were built upon the Riftstone, a material with strange magical properties capable of bending reality. But these lords constantly fought to control the sources of Riftstone, and their centuries-long worldwide conflict eventually spiraled out of control. The forces unleashed transformed Mara into a devastated wasteland on the verge of destruction – so close to its end that you, the leader of one of the few surviving nations, led your people through a portal to the world of Ellaria, leaving behind your former land forever.
This Ellaria is a dimensional crossroad of a sort: a junction between worlds where the ancients, a forgotten civilization, build portals to a myriad of other places. Now it's time for you to lead your people back to glory; for that you'll have to carve a place for your kind in the young world of Ellaria, and make your new kingdom powerful enough to stand against its enemies. That won't be an easy task, as some other species and factions also established themselves in Ellaria after fleeing their own homelands.

RULE AS A KING. FIGHT AS A HERO


In Legends of Ellaria, you can play however you want at any time. You can focus on governing your lands, constructing cities building by building, upgrading your armies and skills, researching for new technologies and managing your kingdom's economy. In battle, you can lead your troops in real-time strategy fights, or join them in the fray fighting at the front, fight beside your soldiers.
You can also join your heroes and companions in action-RPG adventures throughout the procedurally generated world of Ellaria – every region you explore and every dungeon you storm will feel unique and different from the rest. Don your best armor and wield your sword, control the powerful forces of Ellarian magic or create a jack-of-all-trades adventurer – you decide how to level your character up and what kind of king and hero you want to be.
