However, developer Binary Haze recently announced apologetically that players of the Early Access Steam version will not be able to transfer their save data over to the full version of the game. This is because the parts of the game that were included in the Early Access build have been heavily modified and improved.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ender Magnolia is an exploration-based action RPG\/metroidvania set in a post-apocalyptic world. It takes place several decades after 2021\u2019s Ender Lilies, which sold over 1.5 million copies worldwide.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"ENDER MAGNOLIA: Bloom in the Mist - Full Release Announcement Trailer -\" width=\"1160\" height=\"653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cvSf1pOO084?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Ender Magnolia is set in The Land of Fumes, a superpower that has flourished thanks to the magical resources located underground. However, the artificial lifeforms called Humunculi that were created to advance the kingdom now rampage throughout the land. You play as Lilac, an Attuner who can save Humunculi. The Humunculi you save will battle by your side (Lilac herself cannot fight)- and they have 30 unique skills that you can acquire \u2013 allowing you to create your own battle style.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/20241224-42003-001.jpeg\" alt=\"Ender Magnolia: Bloom in the Mist Ender Lilies sequel\" class=\"wp-image-42009\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/20241224-42003-001.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/20241224-42003-001-380x214.jpeg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/20241224-42003-001-768x432.jpeg 768w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Ender Magnolia has been available in Early Access for PC (Steam) since March 2024. At the time of writing, the game has an Overwhelmingly Positive review status (97% of 4398 reviews are positive)- with players praising the Early Access version for how it improves upon Ender Lilies. However, it seems that the final game will deliver an even more refined experience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On 23 December, Binary Haze\u2019s CEO Hiroyuki Kobayashi <a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/news\/app\/2725260\/view\/506189732191929226?l=english\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">announced<\/a> that Early Access save data will not be transferable to the full game because extensive changes and improvements have since been made. Examples include the addition of a tutorial cutscene, item location changes, map display adjustments and level design revisions. As the announcement said, \u201cOur highest priority is giving you the best, highest-quality version of Ender Magnolia: Bloom in the Mist, and this difficult, yet necessary decision resulted from that goal.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">[Important notice]<br>We have an important message for everyone who has played the early access version of \u300cENDER MAGNOLIA: Bloom in the Mist\u300d.<br>Please check the details in the attached image.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/EnderMagnolia?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#EnderMagnolia<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Metroidvania?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Metroidvania<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/XD2cGVzBfw\">pic.twitter.com\/XD2cGVzBfw<\/a><\/p>&mdash; ENDER MAGNOLIA: Bloom in the Mist (@EnderLiliesGame) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/EnderLiliesGame\/status\/1871088355808883157?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 23, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Ender Magnolia: Bloom in the Mist is scheduled to be released for Nintendo Switch, PS4\/PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC (<a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/2725260\/ENDER_MAGNOLIA_Bloom_in_the_Mist\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Steam<\/a>) on January 23, 2025. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Written by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/author\/verity-townsend\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Verity Townsend<\/a>\u00a0based on the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/articles\/newsjp\/metroidvania-endermagnolia-20241223-322987\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">original Japanese\u00a0article<\/a>\u00a0(original article\u2019s publication date:\u00a02024-12-23 19:41<em style=\"font-size: revert; color: var(--theme-text-color); font-family: var(--theme-font-family); font-weight: var(--theme-font-weight); letter-spacing: var(--theme-letter-spacing); text-transform: var(--theme-text-transform);\"> JST)\u00a0<\/em><span style=\"font-size: revert; background-color: var(--has-boxed, var(--theme-palette-color-8)); color: var(--theme-text-color); font-family: var(--theme-font-family); font-style: var(--theme-font-style, inherit); font-weight: var(--theme-font-weight); letter-spacing: var(--theme-letter-spacing); text-transform: var(--theme-text-transform);\">\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ender Magnolia: Bloom in the Mist, sequel to hit metroidvania Ender Lilies, is coming out next month, with major improvements over the Early Access build.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":42008,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_gspb_post_css":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[62,3],"tags":[17],"class_list":["post-42003","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-indie-games","category-news","tag-japan-related-news"],"blocksy_meta":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
