Witness the evolution of award-winning spellcrafting in a brand-new trailer as Borealys Games gives players a closer look at the next story from the world of Mystralia.
MONTREAL — February 16, 2026 — Montreal-based developer Borealys Games debuts Echoes of Mystralia with its first demo, offering a heart-pounding hands-on with the sequel to Mages of Mystralia and marking the next era of their acclaimed spellcrafting franchise. Set for full release later this year, players can wishlist the game on Steam now as they prepare to battle a Rift that threatens to consume the world of Mystralia.
Echoes of Mystralia takes the world and lore established in Mages of Mystralia and takes it in a new roguelike direction. As Mazarim, players must protect the World’s Memory, a source of great power to the lands, which is at risk after a rift opened in the Cycle of Memories. Focusing the action on fluid, dynamic combat, players will take on foes created by the Rift and gather the memories they hold. These memories sit at the heart of Echoes of Mystralia’s rich magic combat system, as players forge Mazarim’s unique arcane skill set, able to craft and combo everything from lightning bolts to freezing tornadoes.
Each run returns Mazarim to the Azimuth Temple. Here, he can increase his power, unlock new skills, and build relationships with his fellow watchers tasked with protecting Mystralia’s present and past, including an ancient goddess who will guide him in his journey. These respites are vital, allowing players to take a breath before their next run, where they face shadows of Mystralia’s past and primordial Guardians that test both reflexes and tactical skill.
The demo will invite players to explore The Ash Forest, the first biome in Echoes of Mystralia, as they embark on the start of Mazarim’s journey. Players can unlock 4 powerful spells, complete 4 fight challenges, and defeat the first guardian: Therakan. Throughout the demo, there are 50 unique memories for players to use to spellcraft and transform their spells with millions of possibilities.
Players can enjoy the Echoes of Mystralia demo now on Steam before its launch on PC in 2026. Borealys Games is committed to a community-first development approach, so fans can join the game’s official Discord to give feedback as the game evolves. Players can also keep up with the latest news on Echoes of Mystralia on X, Instagram, and Facebook, and check out the new Gameplay Trailer on YouTube.
