It's been almost a week since Eden Rising launched into Early Access and we've been so excited to see your reviews and feedback! This is of course just the beginning for Eden Rising and as we go forward into Early Access we have a lot of plans on how to improve and add to the game. So what's next?
In addition to some key features shown below in the roadmap, the goal is to continually add more content over the course of Early Access. Please note that the updates are shown in no particular order.
We want to continue and grow the story and world, ultimately doubling the existing content. In addition to more regions of Eden to explore this will include more monster varieties, lot's more Siege challenges, and plenty of awesome craftable weapons, armor, and traps!
With co-op at the core of the experience, we know that community feedback is essential for the game, we encourage everyone to jump on our Discord Server or the Forums and send your suggestions to us!
It's just two more days until Eden Rising is open for new explorers to form their tribes and master the world of Eden. Get ready to gather your friends and prepare for an open world co-op experience like no other!

A scenic tour of The Searing Coast was on the itinerary for last fridays Devstream on Twitch with Brent and Pat.
The tribe met up on the burning shores of a sulfur filled canyon that winds and splits into many directions. With only some ancient Ascendant markers to guide the way they set off in search of a new Crucible.
Fortunately the guys had collected a few useful items before venturing too far into the corrosive pools that blocked the path to the new sanctuary, so they were able to craft some protective Sulfur Seed armor.
The tribe arrive safely in the Crucible and check out the new layout. Brent explains that each Crucible has something unique about its sieges and reveals one of the lanes is immersed in sulfur that must be overcome.
After scoping things out the tribe split up into lanes and get ready to take on some new waves of Eden's monsters! Despite their best efforts the tribe get completely overrun with monsters and one by one the whole team falls and the siege is lost.
After regrouping, replacing some defenses and changing to a ranged weapon the tribe are ready to go again! We see some new monsters that erupt from the ground and attack the Crucible directly, but the tribe manage to work together and defeat them all.
After some siege victories and last minute rescues the tribe head off toward Typhons pass, a lush cliff area that leads to some ominous looking ruins before ending the stream. You'll be able to find out what secrets lay inside for yourself on May 17th!
We had a lot of fun this week! You can check out the full stream below on our Youtube channel, or join us Live on Fridays at 2.00 PM EST on Twitch!

The Ascendants' Vault - Episode 2 Sieges
What exactly is a 'Siege' in Eden Rising? Check out the latest episode of the Ascendants' Vault to find out! Learn all about the world and game-play of Eden Rising in this weekly video miniseries.
Last Friday during our weekly Devstream on Twitch Brent and Pat decided to take us on a tour through a new biome, The Fungal Preserve accompanied by their tribe.
The tribe met up on a cliffside adorned with Ascendant ruins, and took a leap of faith down into the canyon below.
Making their way through the sprawling forest we learned that The Fungal Preserve home to the untouched wilds of Eden. Beneath the great canopies of the flowering mushrooms, the tribe collected useful materials and cleared the way toward the new Crucible, that can be seen on the horizon. They even made use of some scavenged pod mines to take out a thick nest of Medusas.
After arriving at the brand new Crucible, they split up into small groups to defend each lane against hordes of new creatures. The exploding Seeker Scarabs almost caught them by surprise! Fortunately the team had some firepower on their side and made short work of the monsters.
Before heading out into the wilds again to gather more material, the team showed off the newly implemented Plunge Attacks for all melee weapons. By activating an attack in midair you can execute a powerful downward attack!
Finally, the tribe headed to the east up a long sandy scrubland pathway leading to a beautiful cliff-side overlook and Telesite tower.

Our latest Devstream is available on Twitch and Youtube! Brent and Pat take the reins again and run us through some more difficult sieges with their trusty tribesmates.
First they met up in the Valley of the Ascendants Crucible where some friends are waiting to get started. Fortunately they have been busy and gathered a bunch of resources so we can get crafting and jump right into the action.
They scope out the paths the monsters are taking in this round and craft up some traps. The tribe coordinate and place down some auto turrets at a bottleneck location, with some stickpots to slow monsters down for maximum damage!
The fight goes well, but Pat needs to learn to dodge better! Fortunately a tribe member resurrected them in time! The tribe beat the siege and are rewarded with a brand new weapon type, the Bident!
The guys head out into the wilds to find the needed materials for crafting the fast hitting weapon.
Finally the team headed off out of the Valley along the sulfur beach towards a new biome, the Searing Coast. With its hazy orange skyline and towering spires, it's certainly a drastic change from the Valley, and populated by plenty of dangerous creatures to fight!

We are excited to announce an all new mini series on Youtube! The Ascendants' Vault is a weekly series where we take a deeper look into the key features, gameplay, and strategy of Eden Rising: Supremacy
Developer Stream #1 - Valley of the Ascendants Gameplay and Q&A
Yesterday we hosted our very first Devstream on Twitch! Brent and Pat run us through the introduction to the game, and the core mechanics with a little help from some friends!
We started out in the Valley of the Ascendants, the first of four massive biomes that players will explore upon arriving in Eden. After a short walk down from their cliff vista overlooking the Crucible, Pat crafted himself his first piece of gear with some pieces of fungus he scavenged along the way.
The guys then met up with some tribes mates at the Crucible and take on their first siege, placing down some simple stickpot traps and auto-turrets to ambush the medusas coming up the lane to attack the Crucible.
After unlocking a major tech upgrade, metallurgy. The tribe ventures out to the sulphur beaches to find some new materials. Along the way they discover a Telesite, which when activated, will allow them and their tribe to quickly teleport across the map.
Finally, the guys find the items they need to collect precious metals on Eden and craft themselves a heavy hitting hammer weapon. All weapon types have a range of upgrades and improvements that can be discovered, too bad for our developers that the hammer upgrade needed more monster parts!
The stream ended with a few questions from viewers including 'will there be a single player mode?'. The answer being yes! You can tune your servers difficulty at any time, or create a single player server for yourself when you first start playing.
There were a lot more questions answered in the stream of course, so make sure to check out the full video below!
