What defines EVILGARD

Your journey, your pace

The feel of a classic MMO in a self-contained offline RPG. Character progression, equipment, quests and world states persist.

Discover Morgenwacht

A harbour, settlement, wilderness and the Alte Wacht form the starting point for a world of stories, secrets and hidden places.

Handcrafted adventures

Quests and dialogue with their own voice and dry humour. The world and its content continue to grow.

Fight together

Story companions are planned as full party members with their own stories, dialogue and combat roles. Early party combat can already be seen in the development screenshots.

Gather and grow

Resource gathering and collection foundations are implemented. Active crafting, further class content and independent economic actors participating in markets are part of future development.

Unexpected perspectives

Special genre shifts complement the RPG, including top-down naval combat and a still-experimental point-and-click section.

All gameplay images show work in progress, not the final game. Naval combat is one of the special genre shifts. The two point-and-click images show the still-experimental section in German and English.
