Ilysia
October 2023 (2 years ago)
Embark on the adventure of a lifetime in the first true MMORPG made exclusively for Virtual Reality. Ages ago, the Lagenans corrupted their world, causing a great rift that split the very planet itself. Fearing their own destruction, they created great portals powered by the blood of their gods, seeking to inhabit another nearby planet: Ilysia. Using their portals, the Lagenans entered Ilysia looking to establish a new home for their people where they could continue to practice their dark arts and thrive. Will you help the Lagenans secure their hold on Ilysia, or defend the planet against them? The Choice is yours - fight, explore, and grow in power; alone or alongside your friends and foes as you face the challenges Ilysia holds. In Ilysia, players will travel alongside one another or embark on solo journeys as they quest, fight, grow, and explore a multitude of unique areas with their own set of challenges throughout their adventures. These zones will present an increasing challenge of monsters, quests, dungeons, world bosses, caves, and large outdoor cities, all waiting to be explored, conquered, and to have their secrets revealed. Live the wonder, excitement, and glory days of MMOs like never before, in truly immersive VR.

Ilysia is a VR-focused MMORPG that launched in late 2023 by indie studio Team 21. As a niche title in the VR MMO space, its player retention is modest but active, likely engaging hundreds of daily players. The scale and indie market position suggest an estimated 500–1000 daily active players, biasing conservatively toward the lower end due to genre constraints and limited platform reach. It meets MMORPG criteria thanks to its persistent world and focus on large-scale player interactions in VR.
Ages ago, the Lagenans corrupted their world, causing a great rift that split the very planet itself. Fearing their own destruction, they created great portals powered by the blood of their gods, seeking to inhabit another nearby planet: Ilysia. Using their portals, the Lagenans entered Ilysia looking to establish a new home for their people where they could continue to practice their dark arts and thrive. However, they were not welcome. The many races of Ilysia pushed back against the invading force and a great war that claimed the lives of many across Va’Karuhm was waged. After many years of fighting, the Lagenans were pushed back to their world and their portals were destroyed. Though not all made it back... Many of the lesser folk; crafters, workers, and tradesmen were brought through to aid in the war effort and were left when the mages and armies of Lagena abandoned their fortresses in retreat. After 300 years, the barrier has been lifted and the people are finally free to explore past the borders of Va'Karuhm and discover the greater world of Ilysia and all that it has to offer. This is where players will begin.
