Preview + 🎁Early Access Gift! 🎁

Dear Companions!

As we gear up for the launch on December 19th, the preview build of Glorious Companions is making its way to the media. With this milestone, we wanted to take a moment to share an update on what’s new and exciting in the game since Early Access. We also want to thank you for being a part of this journey with a proper gift!

What’s New Since Early Access?
  • Steamdeck and gamepad support
  • A completely reworked world map featuring 9 unique regions with distinctive layouts, including Lowlands, Swamps, Desert, Tundra, and more!
  • Nearly ten times more battle map variants + map with an option of adding markers
  • New city buildings for units training or healing, and new armor sets.
  • Five challenging dungeons with unique battle maps, enemies, and bosses
  • New neutral units, who now use abilities against the player
  • Two campaigns (Valrenay and Scarres) centered around the looming threat of awakening enormous statues.
  • Over 60 side quests available in towns and facilities scattered across the map. And a Journal with quest entries and tutorials.
  • Spectator mode added to the multiplayer arena mode
  • A complete visual overhaul and reworked UI

+ Things we will implement with the Day1 Patch: voiceovers for dungeon bosses, an updated 2D map, crafting and enchanting systems, large side quests, Steam achievements, and campaign outros.



Exclusive Gift for Early Access Players

To show our appreciation for everyone who never stopped believing in us, we’ve prepared an exclusive gift bundle for anyone who purchased during Early Access or will buy the game before its release:

🛡️ The Buckler of the Old Times
Forged in an ancient forge, this buckler bears images of a forgotten age. Its artistry is a solemn reminder of what was sacrificed for progress.

🗡️ The Spear of Redemption
Forged in the Scarres Arcanate, this spear drains the vitality of all who stand in its way.

The Clock of Early Arrival
Legends claim that those who carry this clock always reach their destination ahead of time.

🔨 The Grand Hammer of the Ancient Smith
A mighty hammer said to grant mercy to the dying with a single decisive blow.

Your feedback and support have been the cornerstone of shaping Glorious Companions into the game it is today. We can’t wait to share more as the release approaches—stay tuned for updates and share your thoughts!

See you in Terscara this Thursday!
Ancient Forge Team
