PAX West is near and dear to our hearts because it’s where we announced Lost Eidolons’ release date, our studio’s second title Blackout Protocol.
So it was only fitting that we unveil “Lost Eidolons: Veil of the Witch” at PAX West 2023.
This year, we were in the new Summit building with plenty of daylight showering down on us.
We were grateful the Seattle weather was accommodating and held its raindrops until after we were done hauling in our boxes on move-in day.
Our Ocean Drive Studio booth was divided into three sections. 6 demo stations for Veil of the Witch, 6 stations for Blackout Protocol, and a dedicated media area. And when the PAX gates opened, all the stations kicked into high gear.
Jin Sang, our Creative Director, was also on hand to answer questions and gather feedback from brand new players, fans of Lost Eidolons, and the media.
After our first day, we figured that the demo game was much too challenging. There were only a handful of players who succeeded in completing the map in victory. And to be fair, the demo did start at a pretty advanced map without a tutorial. So Jin Sang quickly leveled the playing field a bit by equipping the characters with better stats. It was still challenging, but we saw many more victors arise from the chairs.
And of course, per the tradition of gaming conventions, sweet sweet swag was given away to about a thousand people. Thankfully, game victory was not a giveaway condition and everybody who stopped by received a bag in either red or black.
After four busy days of introducing the new installment in the Lost Eidolons world, it was time for Veil of the Witch stations to power down.
As always, it was a little bittersweet to pack it in and leave the PAX floor for the year. But we will be back next year. And who knows what big news we will break next time?
One thing is for sure, you won’t have to wait until PAX West 2024 to hear from Veil of the Witch again! So keep your eyes on Steam by Following the page, and/or all our social pages.
