Epoch Games

Global online game development studio

Overview

Epoch Games is a globally distributed, all-online game development team creating an open-world role-playing game called The Lays of Althas: Sundered Order, built with Unreal Engine 4. The product is a PC/online game in development that offers an expansive, interactive world where players explore, complete quests, and engage in combat as their characters progress. The company differentiates itself by coordinating a worldwide remote development effort rather than relying on a traditional in-office setup, and by focusing on building a community around an indie title through active forums and public channels. The goal is to finish and release The Lays of Althas: Sundered Order and continue to grow its player community around the game.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Epoch Games still maintains an active site and project pages in 2025-2026.
  • The Lays of Althas received a Tools Update in 2022, showing continued development.
  • Chapter-by-chapter delivery can generate early player feedback and stretch limited capital.

What critics are saying

  • Epoch Games depends on one game, so delays kill the studio's revenue.
  • No public 2026 funding, layoffs, or publisher support surfaced for Epoch Games.
  • Sparse 2022-2025 updates signal slow development, risking community fatigue and collapse.

What makes Epoch Games unique

  • Epoch Games builds The Lays of Althas: Sundered Order as a chapter-by-chapter RPG.
  • The project uses Unreal Engine 4 for a medieval-low-fantasy Windows PC game.
  • The studio targets regional content and gameplay expansion instead of a one-shot launch.
