Greetings!

All this time, I’ve been working hard on the first major expansion for Skelethrone: The Chronicles of Ericona.
And today, I’d like to share some details about what it brings, as well as its release date.

This is not just new content, but rather an organic integration of new storylines and world exploration within the main game.
You may have seen similar expansions in Bloodborne (when will it finally come to PC?) or, for example, in the Dark Souls series, where they significantly expand the base game.

[h2]Announcement of DLC The Jewel in the Skull.[/h2]
The world of Skelethrone: The Chronicles of Ericona grows even darker and more mysterious!

Embark on a mysterious adventure where the shadows of the past intertwine with the threats of the present. You will venture into the labyrinth ship of the mad genius Mardek in search of a legendary artifact – “The Jewel in the Skull”. Using this artifact, you can enter the Ghost World and uncover the truth about Demagrass, the brother of Queen Aurora, whose fate is enshrouded in mystery and intrigue.



Keep an eye out, though! Mardek's ship is not just an iron hulk, but a living nightmare where every step can be your last. Each step will lead you to dangerous traps, monsters, and mad scientists' experiments.
