Dark Envoy – 9 Minutes of Gameplay

Last time we got a glimpse of Event Horizon’s upcoming tactical RPG Dark Envoy, the game was positioned as a turn-based title. That is no longer the case. This Steam announcement lets us know that Dark Envoy now has an updated release window of April/May 2021, while the accompanying gameplay video presents a game with a completely overhauled, real-time combat system very similar to the studio’s previous title – Tower of Time.

The video shows off the game’s intro, its character customization screen and a good deal of updated gameplay. Have a look:

Some additional information:

Hello

We’ve been very silent, we know. But when you’re doing a big puzzle, until the shape of the illustration starts to appear, there is little to show.

We think we have that shape to show now. So if you wondered how Dark Envoy will play, what is the world we are creating and how (and if) it is related to Tower of Time, below you can find the 9 min showcase of gameplay.

Dark Envoy soundtrack is composed by Dawid Majewski (also Tower of Time composer). For us good music is essential for storytelling, so we hope you like the few samples we put in the clip.

On the release date — we’re changing it 2021, aiming for April/May.

It’s later than we hoped for, unfortunately, but we can release the game only when fully satisfied with the quality, to ensure that Dark Envoy is a game worthy of your time and which you will remember playing.

We’re working now on finalizing the first few hours of the game, so we can share a free beta/demo with you. Join our discord channel if you’re interested to try the game, we will do the beta invites from our community there.

We will share updates more frequently now, we have so much to show you and we’re pretty excited about that.

Cheers,
Event Horizon team
