Smilegate pre-released details of key content for its upcoming massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) and signalled a user communication event ahead of its official launch.
On June 30, Smilegate revealed information on the game’s setting, major regions and "Sanctuary", a core growth support feature, on the official website for NPIXEL-developed "Eclipse: The Awakening" ("Eclipse").
The newly unveiled Sanctuary is a key feature that shows Eclipse’s direction and is a system that supports a character’s ongoing growth.
Players can obtain various growth resources over time through relics in the Sanctuary and use them for summoning and equipment growth. They can also raise constellations to boost support effects and design the system to match individual play styles and character growth paths.
Smilegate also announced, via the official Eclipse website, the schedule for an online live showcase to be held on July 23 and began a countdown.
Shin Jae-ik (신재익), a director at Smilegate, said, "Starting with this Sanctuary, we plan to sequentially present the play experience Eclipse pursues and various content." He added, "We will continue to release various information so that users can fully confirm Eclipse’s differentiated direction before launch."
