Press release:
Los Angeles, CA – November 5th, 2025.
The Suzhou-based (China) indie games publisher Snail Games USA and Arlington-based (VA, the US) indie games developer Loric Games, Inc., are today very happy and proud to announce that their airborne open-world RPG crafting game, ‘Echoes of Elysium’, is coming to Steam Early Access on December 4th, 2025.

Build your ship, chart your course, and take to the skies alone or with friends and discover clockwork wonders that clash with ancient mysteries in an untamed paradise!

To celebrate the Echoes of Elysium’s launch, we’re giving away a custom AMD Airship PC designed after the JOAT (Jack Of All Trades) ship featured in the game’s poster. One lucky player in North America or Europe who wishlists the game on Steam will take home this one-of-a-kind gaming rig by modsbyben, complete with complete SteelSeries peripherals as well as an Alienware Gaming Monitor to round out the ultimate setup. Just like the JOAT ship, this PC is built to handle anything, from resource gathering to epic battles. To enter, head to our Gleam giveaway and wishlist Echoes of Elysium on Steam for your chance to win.

Set in the enchanting world of Elysium, where ancient mechanisms coexist with serene skies and breathtaking landscapes, players must set sail for adventure in airships of their own design. Your fleet is more than simple transport, but your base of operations where you can transport supplies, craft materials, and engage in aerial combat against an armada of adversaries.

Work alone or with friends in up to 6-player co-op as you uncover the mysteries of a forgotten paradise where danger lurks in the form of soul-powered clockwork beasts. Gather, craft, survive, and grow in power as you fight for survival and across a fractured landscape of diverse environments. Harvest unique resources to craft vital tools, contraptions, and airships, all aiding in your defense and exploration.

“Echoes of Elysium has been a dream project for us, a chance to build a world that feels boundless, alive, and truly our own. We wanted players to experience real freedom to build their fleet of ships, chart their own course through the skies, and make the journey theirs. You can take to the clouds on your own or team up with friends, and every decision opens a new story. That spirit of discovery is what drives us.” – Ray Soto, Co-Founder of Loric Games.
