Release Date: May 8, 2025
A third-person action RPG, set on an unexplored alien planet. In Empyreal we play as an elite mercenary tasked with exploring the Monolith. They are ruins built by an ancient civilization, hiding automated enemies and many interesting secrets.
Empyreal is an action RPG developed by the British studio Silent Games, which was founded by two former Ubisoft employees – Joseph Rogers and Sally Blake. Additionally, the release of the title was handled by Secret Mode company, which has in its portfolio games such as Still Wakes the Deep and A Little to the Left.
The story in Empyreal takes us to an unexplored planet located in a distant corner of the galaxy. We belong to the members of an expedition, which was tasked with conducting reconnaissance of this new place.
The central point of the planet are the huge ruins called the Monolith. They were built by a lost civilization and hide many secrets and dangers within their interiors.
One of them are hostile machines left behind by the former inhabitants.
In Empyreal we view the action from a third-person perspective (TPP). We come across different characters in the game for whom we perform series of missions and tasks. They push the plot forward, but they are also an opportunity to win specific rewards.
The found loot allows us to customize our character and develop them. Every weapon and armor can be upgraded and modified. In turn, collecting a full set of armor allows us to receive bonuses, which will give us an advantage in battle.
The combat is based on duels, which we can resolve using hand-to-hand techniques or ranged weapons. Regardless, taking on formidable opponents requires mastering the system, which is the only way to win.
Additionally, we can explore the world inside the Monolith. It conceals many secrets and hidden details, which allow to uncover the history of this place.

Game Ratings for Empyreal Video Game.
Loot Level Chill: 5.5 / 10 by Mick Fraser
Empyreal is fun in short bursts, but offers little to stand out or really pull you into its story and universe.
Wccftech: 5.5 / 10 by Francesco De Meo
Empyreal's ambition to do something different is commendable, but it's ultimately the only thing it truly has going for it. While character customization and the Cartogram system are solid enough, the forgettable and generic story and characters, average and clunky combat and the lack of proper multiplayer mechanics make the game a frustrating experience that gets tiring very quickly and one that only the most diehard ARPG fans might briefly appreciate.
Thumb Wars: 4 / 5 by Luke Addison
Empyreal is one of those AA games that come along once in a while. They’re good fun, great to look at and you come away wanting more. From unrelenting combat to ‘one more go’ at another Cartogram, another level and another attempt at getting the best loot, Silent Games didn’t do much wrong.
