Vela Games began as a Dublin-driven studio built by a small, ambitious team. The founders are Travis George, Lisa Newon George, and Brian Kaiser. They introduced Evercore Heroes, a competitive PvE experience that invites players to assemble the strongest team of heroes in a shared global competition. The project drew on a seasoned roster of game industry veterans who previously worked at Riot Games, Electronic Arts, Epic Games, and Blizzard Entertainment, bringing decades of multiplayer game development know-how to the table.
Set within a richly imagined sci‑fantasy world named Lumerea, the game aims to push boundaries by merging fast, real-time, skill‑based action with classic cooperative dungeon exploration. In Evercore Heroes, four teams of four players each participate in simultaneous, session‑based battles that emphasize both teamwork and competitive edge. Victory hinges on upgrading heroes, charging the Evercore artifact, and prevailing over formidable bosses. Teams continually refine their structures and tactics, balancing personal strengths against the goal of complicating opposing teams’ plans.
According to the company, the mission is clear: deliver a game players genuinely crave. The CEO and co‑founder, Travis George, emphasizes the aim to disrupt traditional categories by blending cooperative skill checks with direct competition in a fresh way. Early testing feedback has driven refinements, and the team is eager to broaden the audience as development progresses.
To convey the game’s atmosphere, a cinematic trailer titled All in One was released in collaboration with Hidden Citizens, showcasing the game’s tone and ambition. For those curious about trying Evercore Heroes firsthand, there is an upcoming weekend window from October 13 to 16 that invites interested players to visit the game page and experience the title directly.
