Discover the Dellpiani heritage
With this update, we wanted to give back and bring you something new.
Since the events of Rising Lords' gripping main story, some time has passed in the medieval lands of Aubelin. It is further south that this content update takes place: Meet the Dellpiani nobles, proud descendants of the lost Lyrean Empire! 👑
Based on the southern coast of Aubelin, they are brilliant merchants with a strong focus on seafaring and trade, their ships protected by crossbowmen in heavy armor. Along with this new heritage comes an engaging two-player map that pits you against each other for the precious and resourceful islands of the Lyrean coast. 🗺️
You can experience the ways of a Dellpiani noble alone or with friends in all Rising Lords scenarios - starting right now!
For details and stats on the Dellpiani heritage, please see the patch notes at the bottom of this update!
Explore faraway lands... in our first DLC!
But that's not all - here is a little taste of what we are currently working on:
[h3]We're proud to announce Rising Lords' first-ever DLC! 🎉[/h3]
Instead of returning to the familiar lands of Aubelin, prepare for an all-new adventure as you encounter an entirely new civilisation. Say goodbye to the lush meadows and dense forests you know, as you venture out onto the sands.
We are thrilled to share this next step with you and present a new twist on the unique formula of Rising Lords. Exploring this vastly different setting will bring many fun surprises and mechanics to work with.
Of course, this is just a taste of what you can expect, and more details will be revealed over the coming months. Stay tuned as we delve deeper into what this next chapter has in store for you!
In the meantime, we hope you have lots of fun with the main game and the free Dellpiani update! ❤️
Best,
Team Argonwood
