Fantasy Extraction-RPG Eldegarde Launches in January 2026 with PvE Mode, New Classes, and More

Legacy: Steel & Sorcery signs off a successful stint in early access with a 1.0 launch and rebrand

California, United States December 19, 2025 | Notorious Studios is excited to announce that its debut title, extraction-RPG Eldegarde, will be launching in 1.0 on 21 January 2026 on Steam. Originally titled Legacy: Steel & Sorcery, the PvEvE game launched into Steam Early Access in February 2025, garnering plenty of positive feedback and building a dedicated community. 

Picking from iconic fantasy classes including Warrior, Rogue or Wizard, Eldegarde players can dive into a world of magic and steel, battling monsters and knights, as well as other players, through verdant fields, deep woods, and sinister crypts in order to find incredible loot and extract safely.

Developer Notorious Studios, formed by Blizzard veteran Chris Kaleiki (World of Warcraft, Wrath of the Lich King, Mists of Pandaria), has worked closely with the game’s community over the past eleven months, shaping and improving the core multiplayer experience, adding in brand new maps and new classes such as Paladin and Wizard.

Eldegarde’s 1.0 launch also introduces a PvE mode, allowing more casual players to jump into the classic pulp fantasy-inspired world of Eldegarde, learning its combat mechanics and map intricacies without the threat of other players.

Eldegarde is indicative of that effort; it is the name of the world in the game, which now provides a variety of experiences including PvE, PvP Arenas, a Social Hub and PvE Dungeon, ready to welcome in new and returning players alike.”

NEW SSR HUNTER CHRISTOPHER REED ARRIVES IN SOLO LEVELING: ARISE ALONGSIDE MAJOR CLASS AND COMBAT SYSTEM UPDATES

LOS ANGELES DECEMBER 19, 2025 – Netmarble, a leading developer and publisher of high-quality games, has released a new update for its action game Solo Leveling: ARISE. Players can experience a new SSR Hunter, new combat mechanics, and various content updates. 

Christopher Reed is a Fire-type Elemental Stacker and one of the National Level Hunters, wielding mana-based powers like his skill “Foul Play,” where he gathers mana to attack enemies with a large magic sphere. His ultimate skill, “Zero to a Hundred,” unleashes a meteor-like concentrated ball of magic to attack. 

Players will also experience a restructuring of the hunter classes that reformats the previous six classes (Fighter, Tank, Mage, Ranger, Assassin, Healer) into four based on how they function in the game: Striker, Breaker, Supporter, and Elemental Stacker. Reed’s class, the Elemental Stacker, focuses on building up Elemental Overload effects on enemies and is central to the update’s new combat mechanics: Elemental Accumulation and Overload Damage.

Elemental Stackers can hit enemies with elemental weaknesses to charge the corresponding elemental gauge. Once the gauge reaches 100%, those enemies enter an Overload state, during which players can deal increased damage that bypasses reduction effects from the Break Gauge, offering new ways to dish out the pain. 

The update also features the introduction of a new co-op mode, the Edge of Illusion and Dreams, where two players can team up in real-time to take on challenging stages through random matchmaking or by creating rooms with guildmates or friends. The difficulty increases as players progress, with higher difficulty stages featuring reductions in the bosses’ elemental weaknesses. The content will be available in Hunter Mode this month, meaning players can control a team of three hunters to take down bosses. The first boss players can try their hand at defeating will be the Flames of Calamity Kamish

Additional content includes the new growth feature Hunter Co-op Training that allows players to enhance their stats through element and class-specific training. Hidden Chapters 9 and 10 to the Main Story (Hard / Reverse Hard) and a new SSR Light-type weapon for Sung Jinwoo, the “Illusionblade” are now available as well.

Solo Leveling: ARISE is an action game adaptation of the hit webtoon, Solo Leveling. Taking on the role of Jinwoo, players can experience his journey through the beloved webtoon tale firsthand, leveling up, taking on dynamic battles, and creating their own combat styles by selecting various combinations of skills and weapons. Not only can players team up with hunters from the webtoon, they can summon their own “Army of Shadows” with the iconic phrase: “Arise.”
