Vela Games, today announced the Closed Beta for their debut title EVERCORE Heroes – a unique multi-genre competitive PVE game – will begin on Tuesday 20 June.
Players wishing to be among the very first to play the game on PC can secure their place in the closed beta by purchasing the EVERCORE Heroes Founder’s Pack, which includes additional keys to share with friends, exclusive content, a battle pass that never expires, and more.
Founder’s packs are available exclusively at evercoreheroes.com. Players who pre-order will receive the ultra-rare Vela Beko skin to show off in game.
Player progress during the closed beta, including any purchases made and in-game items earned, will carry over to the final free-to-play game at launch.
“EVERCORE Heroes is not a MOBA, it’s not an MMO, it’s not a loot grind,” said Vela Games CEO and Co-Founder, Travis George.
“We are creating a brand new Competitive PVE experience that combines deep mastery with a focus on cooperative teamplay, in a competitive format. We think fans of both PVE and PVP will enjoy Evercore Heroes, which ultimately belongs to a genre all of its own.”
“Since our successful announcement and Pre-Alpha testing with players last year, our passionate team at Vela has been working hard to make EVERCORE Heroes the best game it can be. We are so excited for more people to play the game for themselves, to give us feedback, and continue helping us make the game even better ahead of launch,” added George.
Vela Games is also proud to reveal two brand-new trailers announcing the Closed Beta and offering a guided first look at EVERCORE Heroes gameplay. Watch these below.
Each EVERCORE Heroes match is a pulsating competitive PVE session between four teams of four mighty heroes, all aiming to defend the beautiful but dangerous world of Lumerea by protecting the Evercore and ultimately proving they are the world’s best team of heroes.
To win, players must power up their heroes, charge their Evercore, survive onslaughts of dangerous beasts, and triumph in the final head-to-head challenge. Players will have to work together to outplay other teams in critical moments during the match. Ultimately, the best teams will find the right composition and strategy, balancing tradeoffs between building their own power and making the battle more difficult for their rival teams.
The closed beta will include three unique stages, each with its own set of items, enemies, and a unique head to head encounter. In addition the closed beta will feature sixteen heroes, including eight new additions to the roster, expanding the unique world and gameplay.
They include heroes such as Grayce, a deadly dancer who moves with beauty and precision; Skye, a young but fearless weather mage from the high tech region of Bios; and Sydian, a corrupted Faede who channels chaotic Luum through his own body. Kaine, Maxx, Oria, Riiva, and Syrus also join the roster.
