Sequel to Beloved Metroidvania Ender Lilies Drops Devastating Bombshell: 2.5X Longer than Original and Coming Sooner than Expected

If you thought completing Ender Lilies was an accomplishment, be prepared to double down on your gaming skills because its highly anticipated sequel, Ender Magnolia: Bloom in the Mist, is just around the corner.

Lovers of the Metroidvania genre may still be reeling from the game's dramatic conclusion, but just a short time later, the developers announced that Ender Magnolia: Bloom in the Mist is finally leaving Steam Early Access in January.

That's not where the surprises end, though. Those familiar with the predecessor, which took an impressive 14 hours to 100% complete, will have a much longer journey ahead of them in the latest title. According to the latest details released by the game developers, Ender Magnolia: Bloom in the Mist clocks in at a whopping 35 hours long.

Despite the brief respite fans have had since their original 14-hour Ender Lilies adventure, gamers better dust off those long-dormant skills because they're about to embark on a thrilling 2.5 times longer quest. Not ones to leave their loyal fan base cold turkey, the developers appear to be well aware of the added value of time in such an engaging game series.

Metroidvania fanatics and Ender Lilies' enthusiasts alike are no doubt sharing in a collective excitement because the magnitude of the announcement not only entails more engaging hours spent exploring creepy landscapes but also further developments and potential features that gamers worldwide speculate upon.

Still, there seems to be an air of urgency as January rapidly approaches. Of the numerous titles to make a debut on popular gaming platforms recently, Ender Magnolia: Bloom in the Mist appears particularly worthy of attention.

By perfecting an already addictive combination of non-linear gameplay, otherworldly settings, and a unique gaming experience, developers have set out to establish Ender Magnolia as the latest and greatest in Metroidvania culture.

Now's the time for loyal fans of the series to recharge and lock in their schedule for some serious gaming time in the coming months, because the clock is indeed ticking down as anticipation builds and gaming fans across the globe eagerly wait for January to roll in.
