Wymond Labs Re-launches "eV" as a Massive Multiplayer Universe

Wymond Labs announces the revival and expansion of the cult-classic Tokyopop manga eV, written by James Farr. Nearly two decades after its debut, eV is being reimagined as the foundation of an expansive shared universe spanning comics, games, and multimedia. The centerpiece is Elderbreach Online, a story-driven MMO with a closed beta launching December 2026.

The original eV manga, first published in late 2006, quickly earned a reputation for its striking visuals and ambitious, hard sci-fi inspirations. Though the sequel volumes were never released, the rights were eventually acquired by company CEO Eduardo Burillo in 2015, who founded Wymond Labs to develop the property.

Now, nearly two decades after the manga's debut, the story is being reimagined as the foundation of an expansive shared universe — one that stretches across comics, fine art, music, spinoff novels, and a flagship MMO.

The game features a unique progression system where players don't just level up – they evolve. Drawing inspiration from the ZETTA serum concept from eV, character development focuses on unlocking new abilities and transforming your avatar in meaningful ways that affect both gameplay and story.

Key features include: - Seamless cross-planetary exploration - Deep diplomatic systems for interacting with alien species - Scientific research and discovery mechanics - Player-driven narrative consequences - Stunning visuals powered by cutting-edge technology

We're planning extensive beta testing throughout 2026, with the full launch targeted for 2027. This gives us time to ensure every system works perfectly and every story beat hits with the impact it deserves.

Elderbreach Online represents more than just entertainment – it's an invitation to explore questions about humanity's place in the cosmos, the nature of consciousness, and what it truly means to evolve.
