Welcome, traveller
Not the Chosen One
Hey, I'm Keone, a solo developer building Elegon. I started this project because I've always loved this genre, but truly compelling online worlds that respect players' time and effort have become harder to find.
Elegon is an always-online, open-world MMORPG where you are not the chosen hero, but one small part of a much larger story.
Grow stronger over time, defeat powerful enemies, make friends, and stand against the evils of the world in pursuit of its greatest rewards.
Elegon is being developed in the open. Join the 24/7 Steam playtest and help shape the game with your feedback. After version 1.0, development will continue as the world expands and evolves.

Subscribe to the YouTube channel to follow Elegon's development through weekly updates and behind-the-scenes videos about the game's progress.

Why Elegon exists
The Vision
Progression in Elegon is designed to feel earned.
- Pillar I
The Spirit of the Classics
Elegon aims to create an online world inspired by classic MMORPGs such as early World of Warcraft and other foundational RPGs. These games created worlds that felt meaningful, social, and rewarding to explore. Elegon brings that feeling back while thoughtfully embracing modern ideas where they improve the experience.
- Pillar II
Earned, Never Bought
Your character grows stronger through time, effort, and adventure, not purchases. There will never be an in-game cash shop selling cosmetics or pay-to-win items. A simple monthly subscription will support development and keep the focus on the world and player experience.
- Pillar III
A World Built to Last
Elegon is a long-term passion project: a living world that will continue to grow and evolve for years. My goal as a solo developer is to build a world players can invest in, return to, and feel part of.

Frequently Asked Questions
Still have questions?
Pull up a chair in the Discord. Ask anything, share ideas, and meet fellow adventurers.
Join the DiscordElegon will be supported by a single monthly subscription. There will never be an in-game store selling cosmetics or pay-to-win items. Purchases outside the subscription may include merchandise, never anything that exists inside the world of Elegon.
Elegon can be played through Steam on Windows, Linux, and macOS. The macOS version currently needs a small workaround because the app is not code-signed yet; this will be addressed in the future.
I'm Keone, a software developer based in London, UK. I work full-time outside games and develop Elegon in my free time. I have around 10 years of software development experience, and Elegon is my first large-scale game project.
Elegon is built with the Godot game engine, which is open source, flexible, and capable of supporting the project. Elegon uses SpacetimeDB for networking and backend systems, a high-performance modern platform suited to persistent online worlds.
Your support is appreciated but never required. You can support the project on Patreon or Ko-fi. Watching devlogs, joining the playtest, and sharing feedback also help enormously.
Absolutely! You're very welcome to create content around Elegon, including YouTube videos, livestreams, articles, and more. No permission is needed, and I'd love to see what you make, so feel free to share it in the Discord.
