Lost Eidolons: Veil of the Witch Launches October 9th on PC and Consoles

Lost Eidolons: Veil of the Witch Leaves Early Access, Arrives on Consoles This October

Fans of tactical RPGs have a new date to mark on their calendars: Lost Eidolons: Veil of the Witch is set to launch fully on October 9th. Publisher Kakao Games and developer Ocean Drive Studio announced that the game will exit its PC Early Access phase and simultaneously release on Xbox Series, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch.

The journey for Lost Eidolons: Veil of the Witch began on November 5, 2024, when it first entered Early Access on PC via Steam. Since then, the development team has actively engaged with player feedback, using it to refine game balance and expand content. This collaborative approach has clearly paid off, as the game currently holds an impressive 80% positive review score on Steam, indicating a strong reception from its early community.

Lost Eidolons: Veil of the Witch plunges players into a tactical roguelike RPG adventure set within the rich universe of Lost Eidolons. The story centers around a protagonist who washes ashore a mysterious, undead-infested island, suffering from amnesia. There, they encounter an enigmatic witch who offers a powerful, yet dangerous, gift: the ability to return to life after death, in exchange for becoming her protector against the island's many threats.

The game challenges players to assemble a formidable squad and engage in fast-paced, turn-based battles on grid-based maps. Strategy is key, as you'll face a variety of enemies, from deranged imperial cultists to the flesh-hungry fallen. Success hinges on clever use of character upgrades, elemental advantages, weapon skills, and unique abilities to overcome unexpected encounters and adapt to ever-changing battlefields.

One of the core appeals of Veil of the Witch is its roguelike design, ensuring that no two playthroughs are exactly alike. Death is not an ending but a crucial part of the journey, allowing the protagonist to collect fragmented memories and piece together their past life. Players can look forward to building their teams from nine distinct characters, enhancing them with dozens of upgrades, choosing from over 200 unique skills, and equipping more than 30 relics that can dramatically alter the flow of combat. As you explore the island, you'll meet other lost and dangerous characters, forging bonds and uncovering their personal stories, all while inching closer to understanding your own destiny.

Currently, players can experience Lost Eidolons: Veil of the Witch through its Early Access version on PC (Steam), and a demo is also available on Xbox and PlayStation platforms. The full launch on October 9th promises to deliver the complete, refined tactical RPG experience to a wider audience, including console players, bringing its unique blend of strategic combat, compelling narrative, and roguelike replayability to the forefront.
