Pennon and Battle News

[p]Dear Lords, thank you for your attention! Pennon and Battle will officially launch its V1.0 full version on August 7, 2025 (PTD). Don't miss it! Here are the detailed explanations of the game version differences and pricing.[/p][p] [/p][h3]1. Version Differences:[/h3][p]Purchasing the base game allows you to select 'Standard Mode' on the login screen.[/p][p]Purchasing the base game + Enjoy Mode Expansion Pack allows you to select either ' Enjoyment Mode' or 'Standard Mode' on the login screen.[/p][p][/p][p]Both modes include the complete game content and modes. Data between the two modes is independent and cannot be connected online. We recommend players choose according to their preferences. Below is the information for each mode:[/p][p]Standard Mode: When you lack Diamonds, you can purchase Gems to substitute for Diamonds. Diamonds can be obtained by completing campaigns, achievements, and daily activities, and are mainly used to refresh certain random elements in the game. Whether or not you choose to use Gems, you can reach the same development cap.[/p][p]Enjoy Mode: Players cannot purchase Gems, but the extra rewards from completing campaigns are increased by 50%, including Diamonds and other development materials such as Aether Crystal, Soulstone Chest, and Event Cards. The chests are related to the Alignment and heroes used in the current campaign, while Event Cards are obtained by chance.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]2. Pricing Information[/h3][p]Discount Information:[/p][p]Players can purchase the game at a historic low discount of -25% during the first two weeks after the full version release (August 7, 2025, 10:00 - August 21, 2025, 10:00). Prices: Pennon and Battle $10.49; Enjoy Mode Expansion Pack DLC: 14.99$.[/p][p] [/p][p]Price Adjustment:[/p][p]When we launched Early Access in July 2024, we set Pennon and Battle at a relatively low price because we understood the game was not yet complete and needed early supporter feedback to further improve it. After a year of Early Access, the game's completeness and content have significantly improved.[/p][p]To thank players waiting for the full release, we have decided to temporarily keep Pennon and Battle at the EA price, with plans to increase the price two months later. Due to consumption tax in some regions, the specific price increase may vary by region. Please refer to the Steam page for the final price. Players who have already purchased will not be affected. Thank you for your understanding.[/p][p] [/p][p]Thank you for your support and attention! We welcome your valuable suggestions through our official community, Steam community feedback posts, and other channels. If you encounter any issues in the game, please prioritize reporting them through the in-game customer service center, which will help us locate and resolve problems more efficiently.[/p]
