AETHERFALL
"When the last star fell, the hunt began."
An open-world co-op action RPG set across a hundred drifting worlds. Cross the broken sky, build your crew, and chase the scattered shards of the final star — alone or with up to three friends.

The Story
A galaxy waiting to be rewritten
A thousand years ago the Aether — the dying light of the final star — shattered across a hundred drifting worlds. Whoever gathers its scattered shards can rewrite the fate of everything that comes after.
You are a Riftwalker, one of the rare few who can cross the broken sky. Chart living worlds, awaken forgotten machines, and choose which factions rise or fall. The hunt is yours to lead — but you were never meant to walk the rift alone.
- Explore a seamless open galaxy
- Shape the ending through your choices
- Hunt together in 4-player co-op
Abilities & systems
Built to be played your way
Every world, weapon, and ability is yours to master. Drift solo or roll deep with friends — AETHERFALL bends to the squad you bring.

Boundless open worlds
Drift between twelve living worlds with no loading walls — climb derelict skystations, dive sunken cities, and chase storms across the rift.

Four-player co-op
Team up online with shared loot, drop-in / drop-out sessions, and revive mechanics. Every enemy and boss scales to your crew's size.

Deep ability crafting
Forge from 200+ weapon and ability blueprints. Slot aether cores, rewire your kit between fights, and theory-craft a build that's truly yours.

Made for modders

Cinematic combat
Fluid gunplay meets aether-charged abilities. Chain dashes, time your overloads, and turn the battlefield itself into a weapon.

Your story, your choices

From the closed beta
Riftwalkers can't put it down
"The open sky is the most alive sci-fi world I've drifted through in years. Every shard hides a story, and the rift never once made me wait."
"Co-op is pure chaos in the best way. We dropped into a stranger's session, lost four hours fighting a sky-leviathan, and didn't notice the time."
"Abilities finally feel like consequences. I rebuilt my entire kit three times in one night just to see what the aether cores could do."
