Easy Anti Cheat has been removed
Aeternum Game Studios has decided to remove the EAC feature from Aeterna Noctis to ensure full accessibility to players and also in response to the demands of the community.
We understand that the addition of this functionality has not been well-received by certain sectors, and has also posed a problem for those players who for accessibility reasons have not been able to enjoy the title.
Instead, we have designed our own anti-cheat system that only applies to the leaderboards of the timed trials. This way, the stats obtained will remain legitimate without affecting the rest of the content of Aeterna Noctis, that is, gameplay elements and features that are single-player.
We have always listened to the community. This has been one of our hallmarks as a dev team. It is thanks to your suggestions that the Aeterna Universe has never stopped including improvements based on player feedback. The message was clear, EAC was an addition that was not liked and now it is history.
We would be very grateful if, just as you have expressed your disagreement with the inclusion of EAC, now that it has been removed from the title, you would also share it on the Steam forum and the rest of the networks, so that the news reaches all players. We trust that this decision will allow Aeterna Noctis to be valued solely for its playable values.
Long live the King of Darkness!
It's the Steam Awards 2023! Nominate Aeterna Noctis for "Labor of Love"
The Metroidvania that inaugurated the Aeterna Universe is an ideal candidate for this category.
With the update "Pit of the Damned" a new play area and two final bosses were added, in addition to the challenging timed trials.
The release of the "Virtuoso" DLC put the icing on the cake by adding the long-awaited Boss Rush mode, which also included an unreleased final boss.
It would mean a lot to us if you nominated us for "With Love and Dedication".
Remember that Aeterna Noctis has a 60% discount during the Autumn Sales on Steam, don't miss this opportunity ;)
Thanks a lot for your support! We count on your vote.
Aeterna Noctis "Virtuoso" is now available!

New game mode
Aeterna Noctis: Virtuoso features the long-awaited boss rush mode. Now players can repeat the boss fights from the base game including new enemy behaviour and attack patterns.
During these battles, your powers will be restricted to ensure a fair duel, this way, you will also be able to perform feats that you may not have achieved in your first encounter: defeating bosses in a particular way or without getting hit.
If you prefer an even greater challenge you can face them one after the other.
The Collector is the NPC that introduces the boss rush mode to players. Visit his true collection and overcome the different challenges and boss groups until you defeat all of them in every modality.
New boss fight
The Clockwork Twins are the new bosses included in the DLC. They can be found (and beaten) in the boss rush mode, offering an encounter only recommended for the most skilled players.
This brand-new final boss features unique mechanics that will put your reflexes to the test. You must face these monstrosities in an exclusive arena.
New achievements
A new batch of achievements has been included thanks to Aeterna Noctis: Virtuoso. Believe us when we say that some of them are only accessible to true champions of the Darkness.
Aeterna Noctis "Virtuoso" is almost here! Only 3 days left

Aeterna Noctis prepares for the imminent "Virtuoso" DLC
You can now enjoy some free additions on the occasion of the imminent launch of the Boss Rush DLC. Let's see what this update includes:
More accessibility
We've included a "How to Play" section to provide a shortcut to movement and combat controls by simply pausing the game and accessing this index.
No matter how long you haven't played or whether you have questions about the King of Darkness's movement options, you can now consult all the control information thanks to the "How to Play" section, including images and descriptions.
Remixed OST
All of the songs that accompany final boss fights in the base game have been updated with the remastered versions included in "Virtuoso." If you have started a new game, all boss fights now feature improved background music.
These new versions will also be available in the DLC battle room.
Changes to the base game
The way the Lance of Cycles works has been changed by adding a 2 seconds cooldown. This way, its handling becomes more balanced.
They have also made some performance improvements, and fixed minor bugs reported by the community.
Aeterna Noctis "Virtuoso"
The Boss Rush DLC for our Metroidvania will arrive next week, available on November 9 on Steam and consoles. Add it to your wish list!

New combat patterns for boss fights, but also remixed music tracks, that's what you can expect from the new content included in Aeterna Noctis "Virtuoso"!
Do you like the new version of "The Immortal Fire"? This is the song that plays during the encounter against the Phoenix in the depths of The Forge.
Juan Ignacio Teruel Torres, composer of the OST, has done a great job with this one. Wait to listen to the other boss fight tracks...
See you all on November 9 :)
"Virtuoso": Aeterna Noctis Boss Rush DLC is scheduled for November 9
“Virtuoso” is a boss rush that will allow players to repeat the fights against the wide and varied catalogue of final bosses in the base game as many times as they want, adding new modes of combat, difficulty and attack patterns, exclusive challenges and what seems like a new, unreleased final boss ;)
The DLC will not only include the bosses we already know but also a redesign of their behaviour and attacks in a new scenario that will serve as a combat arena and will be presided over by the charismatic Collector. This NPC will challenge us to defeat his specimens, the final bosses of the game, and to overcome each of the boss streaks, organized in different groups.
"Virtuoso" will be available on November 9th for $4.99 on all platforms!

Aeternum Game Studios release schedule
It's been a week since the last Aeternum Game Studios showcase!
The event featured interesting news about the future of the franchise and the studio's new projects. In addition to delving into the mechanics and gameplay that make Summum Aeterna a unique Roguelite, we also confirmed a new DLC for Aeterna Noctis coming later this year, and Eden Genesis, a new IP apart from the Universe Aeterna.
Let's take a look at the next releases for 2023 and 2024:
- Summum Aeterna: A Roguelite game and prequel to Aeterna Noctis. The game includes the so-called "seed mechanic" a tool that allows players to set up runs on demand by adding and removing genes. Since the germinated worlds from seeds never repeat themselves, they will always be unique, and if you add the influences, everything will be even more chaotic. Each run promises to be different from the last! Coming to PC and consoles on September 2023
- Aeterna Noctis "Virtuoso": The next DLC for Aeterna Noctis is a boss rush that will allow players to once again face the challenging bosses of our Metroidvania. Undoubtedly, one of the most anticipated features by the community!
- Aeterna Lucis: The sequel to Aeterna Noctis. Soon we'll share more details about it ;)
- Eden Genesis: A new IP, a new project apart from the well-established Aeterna Universe. “Eden Genesis” is the name of this mysterious title, a cyberpunk-style adventure.
Excited enough?
