Etheria: Restart is an eagerly awaited free-to-play hero RPG that combines live arena battles with a futuristic sci-fi setting. The game’s backdrop is a world where humanity faces a catastrophic global freeze, prompting them to upload their minds to the digital realm of Etheria, where they coexist with beings known as the Animus. Yet, this sanctuary is threatened by the Genesis Virus, which corrupts the Animus and turns them hostile.
As a Hyperlinker in the Hyperlinker Union, players are tasked with combating this viral threat and uncovering its origins to protect both the virtual world and the remaining humans.
Developed on Unreal Engine, Etheria: Restart boasts stunning graphics and cinematic sequences.
