Our take on Horizon's Gate
The pitch emphasizes many crew options and ways to travel, but the central activities are still sailing, dungeon exploration, and tactical combat. Trading, faction service, and piracy offer different paths through that structure rather than replacing it.
What is Horizon's Gate?
Travel across Eral as an explorer, trader, or privateer.
Follow the story behind Dominio’s betrayal or set out on an independent adventure. Sail through the world, then take a crew ashore to explore dungeons. Tactical combat takes place on land and at sea. Choose from 8 playable races and 36 classes, and learn and upgrade 150+ abilities alongside a choice of 100+ passive abilities. Abilities can also affect movement through the world: freezing a river or growing vines can open a route. Serve one of three factions, amass wealth through trade, or become a pirate. Build a large fleet featuring Ice Reavers and Sea Serpents, or sail with a small, swift force.
