Independent studio Industry Games is gearing up to release a new open world, fantasy-themed, class-based, and co-op supporting action RPG through Steam Early Access on April 26th, and in the meantime, they've cranked out an official website rife with content along with a teaser trailer. Since we managed to get our hands on said trailer, it's embedded below:
And here's a quick rundown of what to expect from the game:
Create your character
Create up to 6 individual characters per account. Choose from 6 different races including Orc, Goblin, Human, Dwarf, Elf, or Halfling. You can then select your class with each having a very distinct play-style either in group or solo. There are currently 5 classes: Champion, Ranger, Cleric, Wizard, and Rogue. Finally, customize your character with a variety of choices to make them your own.
The Amazing Town of Everdale
Begin in the beautiful adventurer town of Everdale. Everything you need to train and gear up can be found in Everdale. Talk to interesting characters, form groups with other players, explore the various districts of this quaint town. When you're ready you can also find plenty of dungeons to explore by talking to one of the many adventure masters at the town inn.
Explore a Large, Rich World
With hundreds of players in each world you'll have plenty of company to explore by foot or on horseback. Discover towns, villages, ruins, ghost towns, high mountains, lakes, and valleys across varied environments. You'll travel in realistic day and night cycles with true weather effects. Be warned, many dangerous creatures inhabit the world so an adventurer must always be prepared for a fight.
Procedurally Generated Dungeons of varying size and difficulty
- Four different dungeon types with many different themes including castles, crypts and caves.
- Pick your size and difficulty (of course the harder the dungeon is, the better the rewards)

Large Variety of Items including Weapons and Armors
There is a large variety of armors and weapons, all of which can be dyed a wide range of colors. Enemies drop what they have equipped. So if you like that fiery sword or awesome helmet a minion is wearing go over and take it from him.if you can.

Salvage, scavenge, harvest and mine in order to have the raw materials to craft items in the following disciplines:
- Armorsmith
- Weaponsmith
- Tailoring
- Alchemy
- Leatherworking

Some of the best items in the game will be player made!
Multiplayer RPG
Play in an amazing world with hundreds of other players. Create groups of up to 8 players to explore and run dungeons. You can use standard text chat or built in voice chat to communicate with your group or those in the world.
Beautiful Environments
The realistic graphics of the characters and environment are rendered in a unique style that we like to call (fantastic-realism) through use of the Unreal 4 engine. We take full advantage of advanced DirectX11 rendering techniques in order to make your stay in Everdale a pleasant one.
Become a Legendary Hero
Advance through the ranks starting at Level 1 and go all the way to level 50 to make your character a force to be reckoned with. Along the way you can learn many different abilities unique to your class. Gain experience by completing complex quests or vanquishing evil creatures. Your exploits will be automatically recorded on an in-game character journal as you become more renowned for your combat prowess.
Fight the Ultimate Bosses
Come face to face with the most terrifying bosses as you attempt to raid their domain. Becoming a Hero sounds good until you take your first step into a dark evil infested dungeon. Encountering your first boss will let you know if it was a career choice you are well suited for. Each boss has its own unique AI and strategies to overcome but for those able to defeat them, priceless relics and ancient treasures await.
