Citadel: Forged With Fire News

Hello, Wizards of Ignus!

We hope everyone is healthy and staying safe at home. Our team has been working away to bring you a lot more Citadel content, we are extremely excited and can’t wait to show you what we have planned over the next couple of months!



[h2]Coming Soon! [/h2]
[h3]An All-New Dungeon & Horrifying Creature:[/h3] A dark evil is lurking in the shadows of Ignus that threatens your land! There’s not too much known about this villainous monstrosity, only the bravest heroes will be able to vanquish this evil. Part two of our massive expansion is making it’s way to the base Citadel game. Courageous heroes bold enough to take on this unknown evil will be left with a grand story to tell. Get ready for the concluding story, brand new features, new structures and all-new deadly creatures roaming throughout Ignus in the upcoming months!

Stay tuned to learn more about this all-new grand adventure waiting for you!

[h3]Mastery Level Quests:[/h3] Our quest system has expanded once again, with an all-new series of quests leading deeper into the secrets of Ignus that was once long forgotten.
That’s not all! We will also include a brand new Daily Mastery Level Quest, so stay tuned for more information on these two major quests expansions!



[h3]A Wild Mutant Has Appeared:[/h3] An increased amount of paranormal activity has been awakened in the shadows of Ignus, increasing the frequency of mutations among the wild beasts that roam the land. They are much bigger and more powerful than their standard counterparts, can occur seemingly anywhere, and provide a far more rewarding challenge for the stoic heroes who vanquish them. Do you have what it takes to tackle these deadly foes? Team up to challenge these boss-level creatures or dare fly solo. Those who come out victorious will be rewarded handsomely.

[h2]Next Steps[/h2]
There is a lot more content planned out which we haven’t been able to share just yet and a lot of new game mechanics that have been greatly enhanced. As we get closer to release we will update you guys further on what’s to come.

As always thank you to the community for all the support and help, we’re always taking in your feedback and suggestions. We hope everyone continues to stay safe and healthy at home. See you again soon Wizards.
