Greetings everyone!Our friends from Wobble Ghost have just released their first game and we've played it on the last convention we visited some time ago. And if you are looking for an oldschool (and yet somehow modern) interpretation of the Zelda-Formula (especially the Phantom Hourglass one), you really should take a look at this one. It shares the same idea as Chained Echoes basically. Bringing back was lost among modern games. Give that oldschool feeling, just how you remember games.

Hi everyone! Thank you for playing ASHES OF ELRANT. I have some patch notes to share with you. For non-Steam players reading this: This patch will be rolled out for GOG, Xbox and Playstation tomorrow (11th August).Please note that the Nintendo Switch game is still on an old version. Nintendo needs a few days to release a patch. Which means that we have to wait for Nintendo to release a previous patch in order to push the last 2 patches together.v. 1.345Fixed: Hero’s Belief functionalityFixed: Fishing UI errors for Japanese/Korean/ChineseFixed: Cutscene after dog battle not startingFixed: The o

Greetings Travelers of Valandis,Or... should we say, Travelers of Elrant? The wait is over. Ashes of Elrant, the official DLC for Chained Echoes is out now on Steam. Offering you more of what you fell in love with - all set in a new, uhm, well, how to describe it? Let's call it a new land. You'll soon understand. With the White Wolf you can also find a new companion who'll join your party. A loyal member who... ah, sorry, again, we're touching spoiler territory here. Let us phrase it like that: His name will be revealed within the new adventure. You'll understand why we've kept it a secret so

Dear members of the Crimson Wings!We know, we know. We've said that Ashes of Elrant would release in Q2 when we announced the DLC. Well, Q2 ended already, right? And the DLC isn't here yet. Game development is complicated. And while the DLC itself was ready to release by the end of Q2, translations were not. And we still wanted to give it some proper testing to iron out the last small issues. And we decided to wait till we knew the exact date.And we now have a date. Mark it in your calendars: Ashes of Elrant will release 7th of August on all systems. And yes, the official soundtrack for the DL

Valand.... wait. No, no, no! WAIT A SECOND! HAH! Eldrea is calling once again. Eldrea needs you. One. More. Time. Two years ago a journey ended with the release of Chained Echoes. And it was just the start of another journey. Since the last patch for Chained Echoes was released, Mathias has been working on.... Ashes of Elrant, the official story DLC for Chained Echoes. The DLC takes place before the Crimson Wings set out for the final battle and will lead to new areas outside of Valandis! We would love to tell you more about the story, but everything would feel like a big spoiler! https://stor

Greetings Travelers of Valandis, As you know we are currently preparing the console versions for the Retail Editions for our Kickstarter Backers. After that? Well, we can't talk about what's next yet. We confirmed before we'll stay a little longer in Valandis. We'll talk about our plans once we are ready. But for now, we'd like to recommend some amazing games (cause we teamed up with them as we love them and we created a cool Steam Bundle)! Meticulously curated and brought together into a Steam bundle for their charming pixel artistry and immersive storytelling, these 3 games promise an unforg

Greetings members of the Crimson Wings! We've got some pretty cool news for you today. Chained Echoes just received Trading Cards on Steam. That also means some backgrounds are available and some emjois you can from now on use on Steam as well. Well. That's basically the news. But we'd like to give some background information on that as well! The Trading Cards were created by the amazing Mosqi, a member from the community and a well known artist who works with watercolors in first place. He created a super cool fanart for Chained Echoes and posted it on Twitter. We got in touch and asked him i

Greetings everyone, We hope you still enjoy exploring Valandis. We also hope you like NG+ and experiment a bit around with it. While we can't confirm yet what's next for Chained Echoes, we'd like to confirm again that we will stay a little longer in Valandis. Those of you who participated in the Reddit AMA already knew that. However, let us be clear here: It will take a while till we can share further details. In other news, we just have applied a new update which comes with a few fixes. And one major change for a certain market: Thanks to our regional partner in China, WhisperGames, Chained E

Review bombs are an endemic part of the modern media landscape at this point. Whether they're about player frustration, politics, or just because a crypto company bought your game, we've all become well-accustomed to the long red candles that pockmark Metacritic and Steam user review charts during periods of controversy. But there's usually some discernible reason for the review bombs, even if it's a really bad one... Read more.

Hello everyone! I hope you are doing fine. Today I finished a first small content update for the game that finally adds the Japanese language support as well as the option to read tutorials in the menu. Sorry for the delay. Please note that the update is live on Steam first. Other platforms usually follow a day later (except for the Nintendo Switch which might take a few more days). v. 1.1 Added: Japanese language support Added: Option to re-read tutorials in the menu Fixed a bug where Mage Warrior’s Fire and Water attack wouldn’t trigger oil and dry properly Fixed other minor bugs and collisi
