Veldeth

The release date for Veldeth on PC is currently listed as coming soon, with the project presently in an early alpha state. Developed and published by Veltech Studio, this indie project is a solo-developed dark fantasy MMO that scales from slaying simple pests to confronting massive tree gods in a handcrafted open world.

The game uses a skill-based progression system heavily inspired by RuneScape, featuring 20 trainable skills alongside real-time melee and ranged combat. While the free-to-play model and solo-dev nature suggest a smaller initial scope, the inclusion of mounts, dungeon crawling, and a tiered gear system provides a clear roadmap for long-term character growth. The primary challenge will be how well the server infrastructure handles the massively multiplayer element during these early development stages.

Follow this if you want a nostalgic, skill-focused grind in a modern engine and wishlist it to track alpha updates.
