"Arkheron is a supernatural plane of existence where players each become a nameless, faceless entity called an "Echo." These ghostly beings are the souls of people who died with unfinished business, and each match starts with the player's unarmed Echo waking up at the bottom of a mysterious tower, believing that getting to the top of this creepy structure will give them the peace they need to pass on."
"While Arkheron chooses to focus on PvP gameplay over interactive narrative, the developers have created a rich world within the ethereal dark tower for players to battle their way through. The tower is both familiar and alien to the Echoes because it is the physical manifestation of their lives before death. The surreal nature of this strange dimension means that each floor of the tower is filled with different locations that are shaped by those memories."
Bonfire Studios, led by former World of Warcraft lead designer Rob Pardo, is producing Arkheron, an original PvP isometric free-aim game. Players become nameless, faceless Echoes—ghostly souls with unfinished business—who awaken unarmed at the bottom of a mysterious tower and believe reaching the top will let them pass on. Matches require teams to defeat other teams using weapons and armor found in the tower; victory ascends the team upward while defeat restarts progress. The tower is a surreal manifestation of pre-death memories, with each floor presenting bizarre, memory-shaped locations that prioritize competitive PvP over interactive narrative.
