Iceland's tiny Myrkur Games made a God of War clone

Icelandic studio Myrkur Games prepares to release its debut title across multiple platforms tomorrow. The fantasy action adventure game Echoes of the End is set to launch on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series consoles after years of development. Plaion serves as the publisher for this Unreal Engine 5-powered project that the team first revealed at Summer Game Fest 2025. The studio expanded from three university friends to a 40-person international team since 2016. Funding from their publishing partner allowed significant growth during production.

Players control Ryn, a magic-wielding swordfighter who embarks on a rescue mission to save her captured brother from an invading empire. She partners with Abram Finlay, a scholar companion who assists during combat and puzzle-solving throughout their journey. The fantasy world of Aema draws heavy inspiration from Icelandic landscapes and culture while maintaining its fictional identity. Combat combines traditional sword fighting with unique magical abilities called shift and drain that manipulate enemies and restore health. The adventure spans 10 distinct chapters across varied environments, offering approximately 15 hours of gameplay.
