Built Without Compromise
01
7v7 Asymmetric Warfare
Two factions — Ravens and Links — clash in tactical 7v7 combat. Five operators fight on the field while two Commanders orchestrate from behind the lines. Intercept enemy radio, decode bomb manuals, and dominate through coordination.
02
Living World
The world evolves based on global outcomes. Community win rates shift map states, faction influence reshapes environments, and no two seasons feel the same. Your victories leave permanent marks on Elysia.
03
Open-World Campaign
A GTA-inspired open world where survival meets narrative. Build your base, scavenge for resources, team up for co-op PvPvE missions, and uncover the truth behind the Blackout — on your own terms.
04
Community Hub
A persistent city under the dome where players converge. Trade, form clans, customize your housing, and venture into PvP zones. Three tiers of society — Middletown, High Spheres, Bas Mondes — each with its own rules.

The World of Elysia
Elysia was once humanity's greatest achievement. Then, in a single night, it went silent. The Blackout erased power, fractured communication, and left the world changed in ways no one fully understands. Now the ruins have become a battleground. Ravens and Links fight for control, Commanders shape outcomes from hidden rooms and listening channels, and the open world holds evidence capable of changing everything we think we know. Whether you enter the arena or disappear into the wilds, every operation leaves a mark. Elysia does not forget.
Soon on Steam
