Hello Adventurers! 

Today, we are super excited to announce that Dungeons of Sundaria is exiting Early Access and officially launches on December 12th, 2023! The culmination of years of hard work by our small team, along with this invaluable community, has helped us to achieve this incredible milestone. We are happy to announce that Dungeons of Sundaria (DoS) will officially launch the 1.0 full version of the game simultaneously on PC (Steam), Sony PlayStation®4 and PlayStation®5 consoles, and Xbox Series X|S.

The Official Launch will include our 8th dungeon, Ragewind Castle, which we hope will challenge even our most seasoned veterans. Introducing a new armor set and two new weapon sets for each class. Ragewind Castle is filled with dozens of new enemies and bosses. There are more of Cric’s hidden treasure caches and the thing everyone cares about – the real Cursed Key! There is also the addition of a new playable race, the Drog’al, which are large, hearty Lizard type creatures. These, like all races in DoS, are playable across all classes. Finally, this update will include many bug fixes, upgrades, and improvements to game mechanics.
