Prepare for your next great journey—Empyreal, the hauntingly beautiful and emotionally charged action RPG from UK-based developer Silent Games and publisher Secret Mode, is set to launch on May 8, 2025 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
To build anticipation, the developers have released a brand-new story trailer that introduces players to the emotionally complex and richly detailed characters that form the heart of the game’s central expedition.
Meet the Team That Will Shape Your Journe
At the core of Empyreal is a powerful narrative centered around a group of explorers tasked with uncovering the secrets of the ancient Monolith—a towering structure filled with enigmas, danger, and possible salvation.
The trailer teases key figures from the expedition, including:
- Morys Lovell – The enigmatic and burdened leader hiding secrets of his own
- Maria Thornton – A brilliant physicist driven by both discovery and personal demons
These characters are more than just NPCs—they each have personal questlines with multiple possible endings, and the choices you make will influence their fate. Some may survive. Others may not. But all will leave a mark on your story.
Each decision, each relationship, and each confrontation shapes the world—and your role within it.
