A new voice in the creative story telling  

Based in Reykjavík, Iceland, Echoes of the End marks the first major release from Myrkur Games—an independent studio formed by a small, dedicated team of developers and storytellers driven by a shared love for immersive, cinematic worldbuilding. 

To bring their vision to life, the team spent several years building custom pipelines for motion capture, photogrammetry, and performance animation, ensuring every scene feels authentic, grounded, and emotionally impactful. 

A personal story on an epic scale 

Players take on the role of Ryn, a vestige, a rare individual born with the power to control ancient and volatile magic. As she sets out to rescue her brother from a brutal empire on the brink of war, she must uncover a conspiracy that could reignite an ancient conflict and plunge the world of Aema into chaos.  

Powered by Unreal Engine 5 and driven by themes of trust, sacrifice and redemption, Echoes of the End unfolds across ten hand-crafted chapters filled with cinematic moments, memorable characters and high-stakes decisions. 

Echoes of the End launches today on Steam, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on August 12 for €39.99 / $39.99 / £32.99.  *
