Spaniards and indigenous people had various confrontations throughout the conquest period, in the different regions of Latin America.

In the case of Mesoamerica, diplomatic relations were always the first battlefields, since the support from indigenous subjects of the triple alliance was essential for the fall of the Mexica culture.

In this concept art shows a fight presenting various elements that set the tone of the clashes between Spaniards and indigenous people, including new tools such as horses and metal protections.

Terrible battles unfolded under the wing of the conquest and you as a player will be able to relive some of them in the adventure that awaits you in Mictlan: An Ancient Mythical Tale.

PS: This is one of the scenes you will see in our upcoming cinematic trailer we are currently working on!

Today we want to share a story, maybe a legend...

Before the conquest of Mexico, a boy was born in San Andrés Chinantla, the modern-day state of Puebla. He would be called Xiuhcoatl, which means jade serpent, after one of the most beautiful stones in North America, but which is also the name for the mythical weapon on the god Huitzilopochtli.

From a very young age, the boy displayed magical abilities: it is said that he was born from the earth while illuminated by the stars and that he was immortal. It is also said that, while still in diapers, he would fade and reappear as a snake, playing tricks and pranking everyone he met.

His father was a successful merchant, while his mother was a known priestess.

Xiuhcoatl would live to protect his people.

Mictlan awaits you.

The doors of the underworld are open, begin your journey through the nine levels!
Mictlantecuhtli awaits you at the end, when your actions will be finally judged.

Cross Chiconahuapan with the help of your xoloitzcuintle. Raging waters, imposing mountains, challenging climbs. Only the skilled ones will survive the journey. Be careful if you don't want to be crushed when arriving to Tepectli Monamictlan, climb with care, between the sharp flints in Iztepetl.

The cold of Itzehecayan will test you. In Paniecatacoyan, flying will be your best bet to fight the great winds.

You will be swarmed by arrows in the Timiminaloayan and avoid them you must.

The Teocoyohuehualoyan will test the purity of your heart, when jaguars try to rip your chest open, steal your heart. Free your soul from your body in Izmictlan Apochcalolca.

In the end, you will arrive to Chicunamictlan and your soul will ascend to Mictlan in the presence of Mictlantecuhtli.

Traveler… Enjoy this amazing adventure called Mictlan: An Ancient Mythical Tale.
