ELYON (formerly Ascent: Infinite Realm) will be launching on September 29, 2021. Pre-orders for the buy-to-play title are now live. The base game (tier 1) starts at $29.99 with tier 2 and tier 3 as options (below).
The Expansion Package costs an additional $30 while the Expedition Package costs an additional $40, resulting in the following prices: $29.99 (tier 1), $59.99 or $69.99 (tier 2), $99.99 (tier 3). The following page has the exact details of these two packages.
I haven’t decided yet if I’ll be buying this. I also doubt much will change in CBT2 regarding most of what I wrote about regarding CBT1. The main differences will be cash shop mechanic changes (like removal of the Gears token system) as well as the actual cash shop being in CBT2 for testing. At $30 for the base game, that’s actually pricey for what the game currently has (at that price, I don’t know if it’s worth buying as a filler game (for myself) given that Lost Ark will be literally around the corner since as it stands now, what I’m currently playing is already taking up time that Lost Ark will end up carving out from. I guess I will see based on whatever changes have been implemented in CBT2 to decide.
