Alpha Legends: Eldritch is a 2026 social network action video game Era developed by Max Productions and published by Monsteristic. It is the third installment of the Alpha Legends series and is intended to be the first of a series of sub-games. Set in a rebooted universe, within the same timeline as Monster Legends (2014), Chrono's story—playable through the game's "Era Saga" mode—will be available at launch. Chrono was announced in August 2025, and was released on November 3, 2025.

Gameplay

Alpha Legends is a turn-based role-playing strategy game in which players assemble teams of three monsters and battle opposing teams controlled either by other players or by the game’s artificial intelligence. Each monster possesses an elemental typing, a set of skills with cooldowns and stamina costs, and passive traits that modify battle conditions. During the Eldritch Era, battles place greater emphasis on tempo control and prediction rather than raw damage output, as many abilities alter turn order, resource efficiency, and field conditions. Players manage stamina, status effects, cooldown manipulation, and relic bonuses while attempting to eliminate the opposing team or prevent them from acting.

The era introduces Eldritch Mythics, a generation of monsters whose abilities are designed around influence rather than direct power. These monsters apply persistent battlefield effects that punish incorrect timing, disrupt established strategies, and reward careful sequencing of skills. They are ranked up using Eldritch Sigils, a rare material obtained primarily through progression activities. Higher ranks unlock additional traits and improved statistics. Alongside them, a new Ancestor generation known as the Pantheon provides faction-based synergies and counters to other high-tier monsters, and each Pantheon release introduces new battle effects or skill mechanics.

Dungeons receive a major overhaul and act as a primary progression activity. Players advance through multi-encounter Floors culminating in a Guardian battle with unique mechanics. Defeats restart only the current encounter, and a preparation phase between battles allows healing and changing monsters, relics, skills, and runes. Clearing Floors grants resources including rank-up materials, relics, and monster Cells. Dungeons reset weekly with rotating modifiers such as elemental bonuses, restricted traits, and roster limitations, while enemy difficulty scales to player progression. Stamina restrictions are removed, allowing unlimited dungeon attempts.

The Conjuring system is refined to provide clearer acquisition odds and steadier progression pacing, and seasonal updates introduce new monsters and Supreme Relics that expand team-building options. The Eldritch Era unfolds across six seasons, each adding monsters, relics, and balance shifts that alter dominant strategies and encourage adaptation.

Plot

No.	Title	Original air date
1	"Chapter One"	February 26, 2026 (2026-02-26)
In a distant past, the realms are unified by a cosmic resonance called the Hymn of Creation, maintaining stability across existence for millennia. The balance begins to falter in the swamps of Luridia, where Gloomoth and Siltshade perceive voices within the waters and tremors beneath the land, suggesting a buried force is resurfacing. Across the continent, spatial fractures form as Riftcrawler discovers overlapping realities and warns that passage between them is now possible in both directions, while Velkrin concludes the equilibrium between worlds is failing. In a celestial sanctuary, Choirling and High Seraph Nyxara detect distortions within the Hymn and determine the phenomenon is not corruption but a convergence aligning reality with another universe. Deep beneath the planet, a colossal structure shifts as Terrorspire announces the return of ancient architects, and Nyxara reveals the world itself is a copy rather than an original creation, now being reclaimed by its source, while Gloomoth declares the beings emerging are echoes rather than invaders.
