Developer Midgar Studio released the New Beginnings update for the Steam version of jRPG Edge of Eternity. This update brings a new procedural dungeon and the beginning of the adventure has been revamped.
“Nestled in the heart of the Solna Plain, the Lighthouse now opens its doors to you. Available from the start of Chapter II, head for the door where a Consort officer will be waiting to start a new chapter in this vast and mysterious edifice. Arm yourself with patience and your best equipment to complete the fifty levels that make up this endless tower…”
There are numerous chests to find across the tower’s fifty floors. Be wary when opening them, you never know when a pack of monsters will descend upon you. If your team falls before beating the boss, you will have to restart your ascent from the last checkpoint boss. For example, if you die on floor 19, you will have to start anew from floor 10. But if you have fallen on floor 21, you will “only” have to restart from floor 20.
The update also offers the new prologue. The developers felt that Chapter 0 didn’t reflect a fair image of the game’s open-world experiences. Additionally, in a drive to make players’ experience more fluid, the team shortened travel times for several objectives in Chapters I & II’s main quests.
After almost a year of live development on Edge Of Eternity, we need to take a step back from the updates, continue to hear your feedback and bring in new ideas, while continuing to fix the game’s many bugs. Nevertheless, we hope to be able to bring you a brand-new world map and loading screens in the coming months.
