This Is When You’ll Be Able to Play Ash Echoes, Neocraft’s Ultra-Polished RPG

This is a good day for fans of hotly anticipated tactical RPGs. Ash Echoes, the fantastically polished Unreal-powerwed RPG from developer Neocraft Studio, has been given a global release date. 

Due to arrive on November 13th, Ash Echoes is currently in pre-registration with more than 130,000 sign-ups and just over a month to go to reach its ultimate target—and reward tier—of 150,000. If you haven’t already pre-registered, now would be a good time.

And if you have, there’s still plenty going on to keep you occupied for the next few weeks. 

For instance, you could enjoy the stunning music video for Beyond the Rift, an epic original song performed by veteran anime songstress Mika Kobayashi. 

Or you could head to the Ash Echoes website, Discord, Twitter, and Facebook to keep up with the latest news and take part in giveaway events. 

For those of you who are new to Ash Echoes, here’s the lowdown. 

The year is 1116 in the Senlo calendar, and an interdimensional rift has appeared in the sky over northern Hailin City, causing massive destruction and opening a portal to countless other terrifying realms. 

But there’s more. From the wreckage emerges a mysterious new crystalline entity, which in turn gives rise to a new class of dimension-hopping superhumans called Echomancers. 

The organization responsible for studying and utilizing these new phenomena is called Scientific Electronics Experiment and Development (S.E.E.D.), and the person responsible for running S.E.E.D. is you. 

In practice, that means assembling and commanding an elite force of Echomancers, all with their own character attributes, elemental affinities, and so on. The result is a deep tactical RPG that sees you navigating complex development systems and rich combat mechanics. 

Combat in Ash Echoes involves harnessing your environment, exploiting elemental attributes, juggling character classes, and much more. 

For instance, the innovative Echoing Nexus feature—a favorite among closed beta test players—lets you experience story events that both strengthen your Echomancers and expand upon the game’s lore.

It’s pretty rad. 

You can pre-register for Ash Echoes right now on Android, iOS, and PC.
