After The Ages

Endless Ages is playable again. After The Ages is what comes next.

A modern continuation of the science-fantasy MMOFPS Endless Ages. You aim every shot yourself, while skills, stats, equipment, resistances and movement determine what you can survive.

The old world, rebuilt

The peoples of IIA survived the Shadowflesh invasion, the Overkings, Cain's material return, plots surrounding Datro and the Spirit Gateway, and countless smaller crises. Cities were retaken, routes reopened, and life continued. The new era begins during the Reconstruction Years: IIA is functioning again, but nobody mistakes that for lasting peace.

After The Ages is a continuation, not a reboot. The rebuilt game preserves the original combat rules, skills, stats, items, progression, restored quests and legacy world while replacing the old client, servers, networking and presentation with modern technology. New story content is being built on top of that history instead of replacing it.

  • Fight it yourself. This is an MMOFPS, not tab-target combat. Projectiles, melee, splash damage and abilities are resolved by the server, so aim, movement and positioning matter.
  • Build a character through play. Skills improve through use, STR, DEX and WIS grow with them, and weapons, armor and elemental resistances shape how you fight and survive.
  • Live in IIA. Explore its regions, trade, craft, form squads and clans, fight world bosses, enter arenas and take part in PvP alongside the original game's stranger systems.

Book One · The Scars of IIA

The past is leaving marks on the present

The new crisis is not another full-scale invasion. Riftwatch begins investigating rift scars: localized instabilities around old gates, battle sites and places damaged by earlier channel events. The incidents leave strange residue, impossible readings and echoes - unstable manifestations that can resemble creatures, structures and moments from IIA's past.

What first looks like unrelated damage soon starts to form a pattern. Someone - or something - is deliberately testing the scars left by IIA's history.

You are an adventurer, not a prophesied savior. Riftwatch keeps bringing you back because you are useful in the field, you survive what you investigate, and you keep seeing pieces of a pattern most people have not noticed yet.

Play the open test

  1. 1

    Download the launcher

    AfterTheAgesLauncher.exe is a single file. Put it in its own folder, since it installs the game beside itself.

  2. 2

    Run it

    It downloads the game, about 3 GB, the first time. After that it fetches only what changed in each update.

    Windows may say it protected your PC, because the launcher is not code-signed yet. Choose More info, then Run anyway.

  3. 3

    Make an account and enter IIA

    Press Play, create an account on the login screen, and make your character.

You will need

  • Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit
  • A graphics card with Vulkan support
  • About 6 GB of free disk space
  • A mouse and keyboard

It is a test

The open test currently focuses on the rebuilt Endless Ages foundation: the original-style world, combat, progression, quests and multiplayer systems. After The Ages story systems and Book One content are still in production, so features, balance and presentation will continue to change.
