A huge content drop has just landed: the paid DLC Whispers from the Crypt arrives together with the free Ritual update. New faction, new mode, day-night cycle, and fresh maps – your kingdoms will never be the same.

• Adds a new game mode with bots – Ritual. All sides fight for control of the altar in the center of the map. The first player to complete 3 stages of the ritual at the altar wins.

• Day-night cycle has been added. Besides the visual effect, it can positively or negatively affect certain characters.

• Sandbox, Survival, and Ritual modes are now united in the Sandbox lobby.

• 4 new maps have been added for Sandbox.

• Adds a fully playable Undead faction with the following heroes:

  • Zombie – a tough, stinking fighter who simply refuses to die.

  • Necromancer – raises dead servants from fallen enemies. Allied heroes should also keep their distance, as he forcibly turns them into undead.

  • Vampire – master of blood and nightmares who drains the life from his foes.

• New spell – Raise Undead – a special delayed resurrection for Undead heroes.

• Living heroes received an alternate Undead skin and a set of perks that activate if the Necromancer gets to them.

• 2 new maps have been added for Sandbox.

Time to defend your kingdom… or join the ranks of the dead.

See you on the battlefield, Your Majesty! ⚔️
