From Press Release:
Montreal, July 17, 2026 – Echoes of Mystralia, the spell-crafting roguelite from Canadian independent studio Borealys Games, releases into Steam Early Access on August 11, 2026. Set in the same universe as Mages of Mystralia (2017), Echoes of Mystralia sees you inhabit the role of a Watcher, charged with protecting the Cycle of Memories and Mystralia itself, from a rift that threatens to consume all.
At the core of Echoes of Mystralia lies its deceptively deep spell-crafting system. Saving the World’s Memory before it disappears into the Rift is no easy task, but using the ‘Memories’ you find along the way to craft spells made from elements such as fire, ice, and lightning will certainly help. The game’s intuitive crafting system, where spell positioning dictates output, allows for millions of combinations, letting you iterate and unleash unique magical attacks on anything standing in your way!
Your adventure centres around the Azimuth temple, which acts as a hub between your journeys through Mystralia, allowing you to unlock new skills, adjust your approach to combat, and even seek the wisdom of a millennia-old goddess. Outside of the temple’s safety lies dangerous primordial Guardians to overcome, powerful as-of-yet unseen memories to experiment with, and the occasional friendly face scarred by the trials Mystralia has faced.
At Early Access release, Echoes of Mystralia will offer:
- A high-stakes, action-heavy roguelite experience that delivers tactical, lightning-fast combat that rewards split-second decisions and intelligent movement.
- An intuitive, spell-crafting system that lets you craft near-infinite combinations of spells and where the positioning of components dictates your spell’s output, giving you total creative control over how you iterate and unleash your unique attacks.
- 110 Memories to build spells with, 3 regions to explore, 3 Guardians to vanquish, and 12 spell forms to start your adventure with!
Echoes of Mystralia releases into Steam Early Access on August 11, 2026, so wishlist the game ahead of release and stay tuned to the game’s official Discord and the Borealys Games Newsletter for further updates.
