Echoes of Durinn

About the Game

You appear upon Ringval Wilds with nothing. From there it's up to you: what you gather, what you build, what you tame, and who has your back when someone tries to take it.

Echoes of Durinn is a fantasy survival crafting game you can play solo or with a tribe, on a huge island full of wild creatures, dangerous biomes and dungeons.

Gather, craft and build

Pick berries, mine stone, chop down trees. You start with a campfire and a few basic tools. Keep going and you'll have a full base with a forge, crafting stations and walls strong enough to keep people out. Build in wood, then stone, then metal, and craft better gear as you go.

Tame, breed and ride

You can hunt the creatures on the island, or you can tame them. Knock one out or earn its trust, keep it fed, and it's yours. Breed your tames to get stronger offspring. Some give birth, others lay eggs you have to hatch, and babies need to be raised before they're fully grown. Use your tames to gather and fight.

Explore Ringval Wilds

The island has nine biomes, from snowy mountains to sulfur fields, and your map starts out empty. Areas show up on it as you discover them. Unlock Weavegates to fast travel between regions, pick up quests, face the island's first world boss, and take on dungeons when you're geared for them.

Build your character

Play as a Human, Dwarf or Orc. Level up, spend points in skill trees, craft better equipment and learn magic.

Build, defend and raid

Start a tribe and claim your spot. Put up defenses and turrets, protect your loot and your tames, and decide whether the tribe next door is a friend or a target. Raid other bases on PvP servers, or play PvE if you just want to build. Play solo, host a world for your friends, or join a dedicated server.

Where the game is right now

We'd rather be honest than oversell. Echoes of Durinn isn't in Early Access yet, but the game is real and playable today. Gathering, building, taming, breeding, fast travel, skill trees, magic, tribes, solo play, hosting for friends and dedicated servers are all in and working.

What we can't do as a small team is test it the way thousands of players will. That's what Early Access is for. We've proven these systems work. Now we need real players on full servers, running big tribes, raiding each other and breaking things we never thought to try, so we can fix and tune them properly.

While that happens, we'll keep adding to the game: more weapons and tools, more building pieces, deeper character customization, more dungeons and bosses, and a proper balance pass. Expect a smaller set of gear at the start that grows with each update.

Before the game goes live, we'll update this page so it matches what's actually in the launch build.

About our first map

Ringval Wilds is built on Project Titan, the open-world sample Epic Games released for Unreal Engine. We want to be upfront about that and give credit to the people who made it.

We did this on purpose. We want our own original map to run well for every player from day one, and to do that we need real data: where people build, how tribes spread out, and how big fights and lots of creatures perform on different PCs. Starting on Titan lets us test the whole game with players now and spend our time on the things that make Echoes of Durinn its own game.

Ringval Wilds is where we test and learn. What we find here goes into the original map we're planning for release.

Project Titan is the work of Epic Games and its contributors. Echoes of Durinn is not affiliated with or endorsed by Epic Games.
