The Great Gaias
Gjallarhorn Release Date Announcement
We were really hoping to get the game out in November of this year but due to personal obligation Gjallarhorn had to take a backseat for some time. We are still thinking about releasing an early access version sometime during November, if so, I’ll make another announcement letting everyone know.
The Great Gaias is also on sale this week at 50% off in celebration of our Gjallarhorn release announcement!
Phase 3 Closed Beta
This will be the last chance to join the closed beta so if you are interested, please join our discord and private message me (Pots Talos). Phase 4 will only be made available to people who are currently testers and those who join up for phase 3.
Gjallarhorn Closed Beta Phase 2
Phase 1 of our closed Beta is coming to an end, and we will be entering Phase 2 of our closed Beta shortly. If anyone is interested in entering our closed Beta, please join us on our Discord.
Phase 2 is for the first two chapters of the game. But it's the first two chapters for each of the four starting areas. Which should be a decent amount of gameplay if you decide to play each starting area.
Please keep in mind that the closed Beta is pre early access so you should expect more issues during gameplay (crashes, stability problems, soft locks, broken systems).

The Great Gaias Major Update - Chapter rework and Difficulty System - Big Sale
What better way to spend your time alone than with a (100+) hour old school JRPG? Not only have we lowered our price, but we have also crafted some new features including difficulty levels and a reworking of Chapter I. We have spent the last few weeks on The Great Gaias to address a few issues that have been on our plate for a while, many of which were based on the feedback we've received from the community. We have taken the constructive criticism from our fan base into account and we hope that the new difficulty system and our AI balancing will help bring in new players to enjoy this epic tale!
We haven't said much about Gjallarhorn, but rest assured, all the art and music has already been completed and we are in full production mode. It's moving along nicely, and we can't wait to show you what we have been working on!
With the current situation, Horizon's End, would like to wish everyone good health and safety while we combat this global crisis. We hope that life will return to normal soon, as we were hoping to have our demo ready for PAX West, but in the meantime, please be safe, play The Great Gaias, enjoy the story... and remember, where the horizon ends, the journey begins!

Gjallarhorn
Horizon's End is proud to announce our next project!
Horizon’s End is proud to announce the next installment in the ever expanding world that birthed The Great Gaias, Codex Eternal. The next chapter of this epic is called Gjallarhorn, and it aims to create a completely subjective experience for the player, allowing for the choice of joining one of multiple factions, or fighting for yourself in this slave-to-champion turn based role-playing game.
Originally created as a Dungeons and Dragons Campaign Setting, this epic tale will continue the dark, yet engrossing stories within The Great Gaias. Gjallarhorn will expand on job class mechanics and a sandbox style crafting system that will provide a near infinite amount of customization between gear, class, abilities and allies.
Story
Trapped in the frigid lands of the Gorgath Mountains, you will create your own ill-fated character, destined to become a slave to the Osirian Empire. As you take on job classes and earn fervor with the slave master, an opportunity for freedom arises when the Gladiator Arena is reopened during an ancient rite of choosing a new High Chieftain.
Five factions forming the Osirian Empire seek to see their Champion as the High Chieftain. Their unique views on the direction of the Empire leaves the fragile relationship of a newly unified nation in the hands of the player as the choices and allies you make will rock the very foundations of the leaderless country.
Gameplay
Create your own custom character as you fight for your freedom, unlocking (16) job classes to learn and master as you build your hero to fit your personal playstyle. Craft customizable gear for (16) equipment slots with endless options and augments including gems, runestones, and monster abilities.
A day and night cycle sets the tone for the expansive hunting and gathering systems in place within Gjallarhorn. It will be up to the player to fill their bestiary with valuable knowledge pertaining to fishing, poaching and monster habits in hopes to find all the best, and rarest, crafting components.
The combinations are limitless when it comes to party composition as you find animal companions to tame and interesting mercenaries each with their own stories and goals for you to help (or hinder). With so many complex decisions and event changing choices, it is impossible to see everything the first (or third) time around as you choose which faction you wish to side with. (or none at all).
We will be announcing a crowd-based funding for additional features via Kickstarter, (Likely in November), to help bring more art, music and mechanics to the table. However, fear not, regardless of getting Kickstarter funding, this game will aim to be released in quarter one of 2020.
Please leave us some comments about what you think of our upcoming title, we are eager to bring the next great story to you, and remember, where the horizon ends, the journey begins!
