Edge of Eternity is a new RPG being developed by a four man team at Midgar Studios, an independent developer located in Nimes France. The studio was founded in 2008 and has developed a number of titles including; Hover: Revolt of Gamers, and The Secret of Space Octopuses.

Edge of Eternity describes itself as a turn based RPG set in space, that draws a heavy influence from classic Japanese RPG’s from the 1990’s and early 2000’s. It was initially conceived as a mobile phone game, however fan feedback led to the decision to expand the scope of the project, and they then shifted the focus to current-gen consoles and PC.

Midgar Studios is getting ready to launch a Kickstarter campaign for the project, which will commence on February 15th.
