We’re excited to announce our biggest update yet:

Rite of Eris is now completely FREE-TO-PLAY!

That means all core gameplay content is available to everyone, with no upfront cost and no paywalls.

Note: I have submitted the request to Steam to switch from Paid to Free and the changes should be in effect very soon!

What’s Included: Free for All Players

Starting now, you can unlock everything through gameplay:

  • 5 Unique Maps

  • 5 Unlockable Bosses

  • 8 Playable Characters

  • All Game Modes & Future Updates

No purchases required. Just play, progress, and unlock.

What’s Coming Next

We’re just getting started. We’re actively working on:

  • 40+ Additional Characters

  • New Maps & Challenges

  • More Bosses

  • Ongoing Balance & Quality Updates

All of this gameplay content will continue to be 100% free.

Optional Cosmetic DLC (Coming Soon)

For players who want to support development, we’ll be releasing optional cosmetic DLC packs featuring:

  • Character Skins

  • Visual Customization

  • Supporter Packs

These are purely cosmetic and will never affect gameplay. <3 Thank You This shift to free-to-play is about making Rite of Eris more accessible, growing the community, and building the game together with you. Your feedback, support, and passion are what keep this project moving forward. Thank you for being part of the journey.
