Ora Games Legends and Universal Legends get a makeover
Over the past few months, we have completely redesigned our two online spaces to better distinguish the studio from the universe it is building.
This change comes from a simple goal: offering two complementary websites, each with a clearly defined identity, role and audience. Ora Games Legends now presents the studio, its team and the way it builds its projects. Universal Legends becomes the gateway to the universe, its games, its stories and its community.
The new Ora Games Legends website is the professional showcase of this independent French studio based in Toulouse. There you can discover our story, our team, our creations, our news and the vision guiding the development of our projects.
The site also presents the ecosystem we are building around our productions. Board games, role-playing, video games and fiction are designed as complementary experiences, able to gradually enrich one shared intellectual property.
This new structure should help players, partners, industry professionals and future collaborators better understand who we are, what we make and the direction we want to take.
Universal Legends, for its part, invites you straight into its universe. The site brings together the studio’s projects, the license’s lore, its sectors, civilizations and great powers, as well as its sub-licenses: Gatûl, The Smashers, Chaosphere, Golden and Kolteyn.
Each part of this universe has its own identity, characters and stories, while fitting into a shared timeline. The new site was designed to make this richness more accessible and to let everyone gradually explore the many facets of the license.
Universal Legends also gathers information about the games and their progress, the official shop, the personal space and the tools tied to collections and progression. It is now the main meeting point between the universe, its projects and its community.
These two sites are therefore not two versions of the same space. Ora Games Legends tells who creates the projects, why they are developed and how the studio works. Universal Legends lets you step into the universe, discover its stories and follow the experiences that come to life there.
Both platforms will keep growing alongside our creations. New pages, new content and new features will gradually complete this first version.
Welcome to this new chapter of the adventure.

Etonak Vanguard is available
Etonak Vanguard is now available in the official Universal Legends shop!
In this strategic board game for one player or two players in co-op, you take command of a ship belonging to the elite of the Etonak Vanguard. Your mission is to pursue an enemy whose actions threaten the future of the entire Chaosphere.
Since the black hole appeared and wiped out Sector 15, the region has remained deeply unstable. Etonak agents have intercepted communications revealing that an Inferno ship may have recovered a mysterious artifact on Borom. This object could be linked to the catastrophe.
The enemy ship is now heading for Sector 19. If it reaches its base, Inferno will hold a power capable of tipping the whole Chaosphere. Etonak cannot count on any reinforcements: you are the only ones who can catch it.
Your pursuit will take you through hostile sectors full of bandits, mercenaries and rival factions. Every expedition will confront you with new choices, sometimes risky opportunities and dangers that can bring your mission to an abrupt end.
To survive, you will need to upgrade your ship, acquire new technologies, recruit mercenaries and carefully manage your resources. Every detour can strengthen your crew, but it also gives your opponent another chance to pull ahead.
Etonak Vanguard brings the core principles of the roguelike to a board game experience. Each attempt pushes you to analyse your decisions, adapt to the situations you face and prepare your ship for the final showdown.
Designed first and foremost for solo play, Etonak Vanguard can also be played in two-player co-op. Players must then coordinate their decisions and combine their ships’ abilities to progress together.
Games last around 45 minutes and are intended for players aged 14 and up. Its universe, mechanics and difficulty were designed to deliver a strategic, demanding and replayable experience.
You can now explore the full presentation of the game, its story, its gameplay video, its rules and its FAQ. The base game and its expansions are also available in the official Universal Legends shop.
The future of the Chaosphere is now in your hands.

Universal Legends role-playing game: development begins
The next major Ora Games Legends project has begun. After an initial design phase, the Universal Legends role-playing game has now entered its prototyping phase.
After discovering part of this universe through Coach Battler, Black Hole and Etonak Vanguard, players will be able to explore it from a new angle. The role-playing game will let them create their own characters, give them a story and make them grow at the heart of the civilizations, territories and conflicts that make up Universal Legends.
This will not simply be an adaptation of the existing games. The role-playing game is meant to explore the license far more broadly: travelling between sectors, meeting new peoples, facing the great powers, joining different organisations or building your own adventures in this space opera universe.
Character creation will rely in particular on each character’s background. Their past, their experiences and their current occupations will help define their abilities, their place in the group and the paths that may open up to them. This progression should make it possible to build characters who are not limited to a fixed class, but who truly evolve over the course of their story.
The game system is being developed to give real room to several ways of acting. Physical, mental and social confrontations will each have their own rules. Command and design will also open up specific courses of action. The goal is to let very different profiles make a difference in a scene, without making combat the only way to resolve a situation.
The first foundations of the system are already being written and tested: actions, protection, wounds, stances, equipment, techniques and career paths are among the major areas currently in progress. The game will rely on an original mechanic, mainly using ten-sided dice for actions and six-sided dice for damage, protection and various effects.
We are also developing digital tools to support play sessions. Accessible rules, maps, resources about the universe, musical ambiences, discussion spaces and the organisation of open tables are among the areas being developed. These tools must stay at the service of the experience around the table and respect a core principle for Ora Games Legends: play first, always.
The project is still at the very beginning of its development. We will gradually share its rules, its content, its visual identity and the first ways to step into the universe.
Universal Legends keeps growing. This time, it will be up to you to write your own story in it.
