| Aurora Studio is thrilled to announce that Ring of Elysium has surpassed 7 million downloads according to SteamSpy. The next-gen battle royale found success during its time in Early Access and fully released recently in June. Having first featured a dynamic weather system for players to contend with along with the familiar mechanics of battle royales, Ring of Elysium has since continued to present players with fresh new mechanics with each newly added game mode. The most recent game mode Ashen Eye has players not only facing off against one another but an ever depleting supply of oxygen and features no zone shrinking but intense combat in an ever-moving safe zone. |
