Eleon Games Partners With Funcom To Publish And Fund Space Survivalbox Empyrion

Eleon Game Studios has partnered with Conan Exiles and Dune: Awakening developer.

Funcom announced the partnership earlier this week, saying that it’s invested in Empyrion and will be offering publishing assistance starting with its first expansion – Dark Faction. The expansion is set to launch on February 6 and will introduce new gameplay mechanics, melee combat improvements, new building materials, and new mysteries to uncover.

“In Empyrion’s first-ever Expansion, discover a terrifying threat to the entire galaxy: an almost indestructible organism driven to spread and take over any life it touches. The brand-new scenario explores a darker side of the Empyrion galaxy, plunging you into an intense survival story from the get-go while also providing an improved onboarding experience.”

Eleon Games and Funcom’s partnership will also extend to a new game in the Empyrion franchise. “As a developer and publisher of open world survival game ourselves, Empyrion has been a favorite among many at Funcom and we’re excited for the opportunity to help Eleon expand this universe,” Funcom said.
