In 2022 Matthias Linda and Deck 13 released Chained Echoes. A turn-based JRPG that took clear inspirations from some of the classics. Upon its release Chained Echoes received near unanimous praise with many players putting it on par with the 16-bit classics it was inspired by. If you enjoyed Chained Echoes I have some fantastic news for you.
Deck13 Spotlight and Umami Tiger, the newly founded Studio from Matthias Linda, are proud to announce Ashes of Elrant. The official DLC for Chained Echoes.
Ashes of Elrant takes players to a new land, away from Valandis. It is set right before the final fight of Chained Echoes so you can prepare yourself for meeting your beloved heroes once again. The Clan of the Crimson Wings has to answer a call for help from the land of Elrant. A land where nothing is as it seems.
Get yourself ready for a new playable character – the White Wolf, visit new areas, fight over 40 new monsters and bosses and listen to 15 new tracks by mastermind Eddie Marianukroh. And also grab yourself a fishing rod – you will need it.
As someone that still has Chained Echoes in their backlog. Today’s announcement has left me feeling like now is the perfect time for a playthrough.
If you can’t wait to see more, I’d recommend checking out the trailer below.
Chained Echoes: Ashes of Elrant is the official DLC for Chained Echoes releasing in the second quarter of 2025 for PC, Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo Switch.
