Thank you for 2024!

As the year comes to a close, we at Lavapotion are trading our office shoes for snow boots and our morning coffee for something a little sweeter. It’s a time for reflection, a chance to reflect on 2024. This year has been filled with success, change, and challenges. What would life be without a bit of variation, right?

But as we wrap up the year, one emotion stands above the rest: pride.
We’re proud to have released Songs of Conquest, sharing our game with the world. We’re grateful for our amazing community, whose support, love, and feedback have helped us make the game even better.
We’re thrilled to have launched Songs of Conquest on consoles, allowing players to enjoy the game from the comfort of their couches like never before. And just now, we’ve capped off the year with the hugely successful release of our first Faction DLC, The Vanir.

Not bad for some silly little vikings!

As the holidays approach, things will slow down a bit at Lavapotion, but rest assured—we’ll be back in action come January! That’s when work resumes on our next faction, Roots, alongside exciting updates for multiplayer, more balance tweaks, and a few other surprises we’ve been quietly working on. Suffice it to say, 2025 is shaping up to be an exciting year, and we can’t wait to have you along for the ride.

There is no better way to stay connected and informed than our newsletter, and if you need more incentive why you should sign up for it, we are giving away some holiday gifts to some of our lucky subscribers, so join in and get a chance for some extra joy! The lucky winners will be contacted i January, when we are back from vacations!

Click the image above to sign up for our newsletter! (Also, Is it pure coincidence that one of the Vanir Wielders have such a jolly appearance?)

And speaking of holiday cheer, the Steam Winter Sale is in full swing! What better way to embrace the season’s coziness than with a friendly, family-style Hot-Seat strategy game? Whether it’s your grandmother, your dog, or anyone else looking to dive into some pixelated warfare and magic, now’s the perfect time—Songs of Conquest is a whopping 66% off right now!

Cozy darkness, and then a good game.

And with that, we wish you a happy season, regardless how you spend it. We’ll be back before you know it!
