Metal Eden Blends Sci-fi Mystery with a Brutally Satisfying FPS Experience

The story of Metal Eden begins after humanity has fled an overcrowded Earth. Thanks to a technology named Core, which transfers human consciousness into a digital realm, humanity has found a new home: Moebius, a vast, floating orbital station. But something has gone wrong.

“Moebius is clean, high-tech, and efficient—but also cold and detached,” explains Brand Director Jakub Izydorczyk. “It’s meant to feel safe, but not warm. We wanted players to feel like they were inside a machine that’s still running, even if no one’s really alive inside anymore.”

As ASKA, you are sent to this silent ark to rescue humanity’s electronic souls. Your investigation quickly leads you to a space elevator, a pivotal moment that marks a descent from synthetic order into primal chaos. Your destination: the planet Vulcan.

“Vulcan is not only a destination—it’s also a wound,” says Izydorczyk. “It’s raw, dangerous, and indifferent to your presence. But it’s also not empty. It holds echoes of the past, and you’ll feel that as soon as your boots hit the dust. Vulcan doesn’t welcome you—it watches you silently.”

This new world is a place of entropy and decay, littered with the scorched ruins and derelict structures of a failed colonization effort. Here, your journey is guided by the enigmatic NEXUS, a disembodied voice that offers crucial intel but never the full story. Standing in your way are the Engineers, semi-autonomous constructs now operating under corrupted logic.

“You’re not targeted out of hostility, but because the system no longer recognizes what you are,” Izydorczyk clarifies. “They see you as a deviation.” Between the cryptic guidance of NEXUS and the relentless attacks of the Engineers, every step on Vulcan pulls you deeper into a mystery that will determine the fate of humanity.

While Metal Eden presents a compelling mystery, the moment-to-moment experience is defined by its fast-paced, fluid, and vertical combat. We didn’t just want to make another shooter; we wanted to make parkour the central pillar of the gameplay. As a Hyper Unit, ASKA is built for speed, and you’ll need to use every bit of that agility to survive.

Combat is a high-speed dance of destruction. You’ll chain together wall-runs, power slides, and gravity-defying leaps to outmaneuver enemies and create flanking opportunities. Staying still is a death sentence. The Engineers are designed to punish static players, forcing you to stay on the move, using the environment itself as a weapon and a shield. The game’s levels, from the sterile corridors of Moebius to the crumbling ruins of Vulcan, are vertical playgrounds built to reward creative movement.

This blend of exploration and combat creates a unique tension. Your parkour skills allow you to reach hidden areas and uncover fragments of the story, but that same curiosity can lead you straight into an ambush.

“We never want to overwhelm players, but we don’t want to hand everything to them either,” says Izydorczyk. “The world gives you pieces—sometimes through voices, sometimes through things you find—and you decide how deep to go. At the same time, threats are always nearby. It’s a game where looking around might save your life—or get you in trouble. That tension makes every choice matter.”

Metal Eden is more than your typical fight for survival; it’s a journey into the unknown where your agility is just as important as your aim. From the clinical corridors of Moebius to the crumbling mystery of Vulcan, every step reveals fragments of the past, all while you master a combat system that’s as challenging as it is rewarding.
