Lower than every week after rolling out of its two-year early entry interval into full launch, Songs of Conquest has now surpassed 500,000 copies offered—and extra importantly, developer Lavapotion has unveiled huge plans for the long run, together with 4 DLC releases and a “main growth” deliberate for summer time 2025.
The growth, referred to as Bleak East, will add two new factions to Songs of Conquest—the Vanir and the Roots—and “a big singleplayer marketing campaign that may inform the story of how they got here to be and the way they’ll have an effect on the bigger world of Aerbor.”
“The Bleak East lies to the North-East of Patrium, and is the house of descendants from each Arleon and Barya,” lead sport designer Carl Toftfelt wrote on Steam. “Hardy settlers who now reside their lives freed from their former masters on the coast of the Bleak East. However they don’t seem to be alone, and we are able to barely wait to share their Tune with you.”
Sadly, they—and also you—must wait a full 12 months for Bleak East to reach, and that is the place the 4 DLC releases come into play.
“We need to maintain telling the story of Songs of Conquest at the next tempo than solely faction expansions would permit,” Toftfelt defined. “So we’re introducing one thing we name Tales of Conquest within the type of DLC, releasing roughly each quarter. These Tales will transfer the story of Songs of Conquest ahead, in addition to broaden our gameplay, via story missions following every one of many present factions.”
The primary Tales of Conquest DLC, referred to as Rise Everlasting, will give attention to the Barony of Loth undead faction: An undead scholar named Kastus Maal will search vengeance in opposition to Arleon baroness who killed him on the Battle of Gray Tor, “and together with his steering the Risen can be extra highly effective than ever earlier than.” Rise Everlasting is deliberate for launch this fall, and also will embody new artifacts, set bonuses, and “basic enhancements to the Risen of Loth” faction, most of which can be added to the bottom sport without spending a dime, making them accessible to all gamers, even when they do not buy the DLC.
After that may come Essence Woke up, specializing in the Arleon, which is predicted to be out “round December,” after which two extra, primarily based on the Barya and Rana factions, that are slated for someday within the second half of 2025.
That schedule is imprecise, and even so far as it goes nothing is carved in stone—Toftfelt warned that “issues will all the time change, and timelines can shift ahead and again”—however Lavapotion clearly has huge plans for the long run: “We simply needed to let you recognize instantly that we plan to assist Songs of Conquest for years to return.”
