Ring of Elysium Ashen Eye Game Mode Trailer

Developed by Aurora Studio, Ring of Elysium is a battle royale title that aimed to put its own unique twist on the genre through the use of extreme terrain, and allowing players to snowboard, ski or hang-glide across the battlefield. They have now released a new upcoming game mode, which was teased at this year’s E3, named ‘Ashen Eye’.

In Ashen Eye each player will start out with a limited amount of oxygen in teams of three and will be able to choose their spawn location. Hiding out and using blood packs to survive the match will not be an option for players as their oxygen reserves will constantly deplete while they remain outside of the Ashen Eye safe zone. Players will also be able to loot oxygen reserves off of enemy players they’ve defeated. Making it into the Ashen Eye safe zone will give players some valuable time as their oxygen levels won’t deplete while inside the zone, but it won’t be without peril. Once inside the safe zone, the player with the highest amount of oxygen will trigger the countdown for the rescue helicopter, which will also reveal their location to all other players in the match. In order to secure victory for themselves and their teammates, the player will have to remain in the safe zone and maintain the highest oxygen level until the rescue helicopter arrives to fly the player and their team to safety and a win. If the player is eliminated or moves out of the safe zone the rescue countdown will reset. The appearance of another player from an opposing team with a higher oxygen level will also reset the countdown and mark the new player’s location for everyone on the map. If a team eliminates all of the competition and remains the only team left alive they will automatically win the match.

Ring of Elysium is available on Windows, and the Ashen Eye game mode is part of a free content update that is freely available to all owners.
