Radical Fish Games Unveils Alabaster Dawn
Gamescom Appearance
The creators of the beloved CrossCode have officially lifted the veil on Alabaster Dawn (formerly known as "Project Terra"). The announcement, made on the developer's website, confirms a Steam Early Access launch slated for late 2025. While a precise date remains elusive, you can wishlist the game on Steam now.
A public demo is also in the works, further enhancing anticipation. For Gamescom attendees, Radical Fish Games will offer a limited hands-on experience with Alabaster Dawn. While play slots are limited, the team promises booth presence for discussions from Wednesday to Friday.
Combat Inspired by Classics
Alabaster Dawn unfolds in the ravaged world of Tiran Sol, a wasteland created by the goddess Nyx, who banished other deities and humanity. You embody Juno, the Outcast Chosen, tasked with rekindling humanity and breaking Nyx's curse.
Expect an immersive experience with an estimated 30-60 hours of gameplay across seven expansive regions. Rebuild settlements, forge trade routes, and engage in exhilarating combat inspired by Devil May Cry, Kingdom Hearts, and the studio's own CrossCode legacy. Master eight unique weapons, each with its own skill tree. Parkour, puzzles, enchantments, and even cooking add layers of depth to the gameplay.
The developers proudly announced a significant development milestone: the first 1-2 hours of gameplay are nearing completion. While seemingly modest, this achievement marks a substantial step forward in the game's development.
