Empire Patron is an upcoming dark-fantasy open-world RPG that will soon enter Early Access on PC. Developed in Unreal Engine 5 by the indie studio App Tech Innovations, it places you on a lit planet ravaged by the fall of an interstellar ship. As the main character, you become the "Empire Patron" – collecting artifacts, building an army and reputation to influence five races and nations.
The game's uniqueness lies in the life cycle mechanics: from human to monster, demon, and back, through combat, magic, and soul restoration – with dynamic transformations and a story full of twists. The new official trailer showcases battles against monsters and dragons, leading an army, and even a first-person perspective while controlling a demon or dragon.
Currently in early access, the game is unfinished, but the development team is actively gathering feedback through Discord and Steam forums. Plans include expanding open worlds, territory building, a card mini-game, and additional content after leaving Early Access.
If you are drawn to dark worlds, mysterious mutations, and complex RPG mechanics – Empire Patron is worth following and adding to your wishlist.
