The age of heroes is over – it’s time for rebels. Rally against evil in Season IX: Tyranny, coming to Conqueror’s Blade as a free update on September 28!

In the shadows of victory… darkness festers. The Borderlands have fallen, the populace slaughtered, enslaved, or conscripted into a dreadful regime spearheaded by a monstrous tyrant. Raise a rebellion to liberate the Borderlands in a new Seasonal Campaign, and stop the world from falling into tyranny in climactic Territory Wars at the end of the season.



Unlock three new Seasonal Units composed of the tyrant’s armies and a contingency of rebels, then command them to take up arms against this diabolical new threat. Stoke the flames of rebellion with a band of axe throwers and a javelin cavalry, each bringing brand-new unit mechanics to Conqueror’s Blade near the beginning of Season IX. Later, an explosive force from the far east will arrive to help turn the tide of battle.

For the first time, you will also be able to pre-order Seasonal Units in-game and via MY.GAMES Market before the launch of Season IX. This will let you bypass Unit Challenges and recruit new units to your rebellion as soon as they’re released!



The Season IX Battle Pass will also be available to pre-purchase in-game and via MY.GAMES Market from September 16 alongside a set of bonus items. With over 100 levels of Premium rewards to unlock, your campaign against tyranny will earn you everything from new Hero and Unit Attire to Emotes, weapon skins, and so much more. Conqueror’s Blade is, of course, a free-to-play game, so there are plenty of rewards to be found on the Free Pass too.

We know how important competitive PvP is to the endgame content in Conqueror’s Blade, and we’re committed to bringing exciting new Territory Wars improvements to the game throughout Season IX and beyond. We’ll have more to share soon, so stay tuned for more details.

Look forward to hearing about Season IX: Tyranny over the coming days and weeks before its launch on September 28. In the meantime, get the latest news by subscribing to the official newsletter and following Conqueror’s Blade on Twitch, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Discord. Can’t wait to get started? Conqueror’s Blade is now available to download and play for free on Microsoft PC via MY.GAMES and Steam!

Please be aware that from 8:00 CEST on September 9 (23:00 PDT 9/08), the Conqueror’s Blade servers will be inaccessible. The downtime is expected to last for 4 hours.

Please refer to the Patch Notes for documented changes. Meanwhile, stay tuned to our Discord channel in case of any immediate server updates.

Season VIII: Dynasty is coming to a close, but we couldn’t let it end without giving out the rewards for Houses, Alliances, and individual players based on performance and achievements throughout the Season.
[h2]IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE END OF SEASON VIII[/h2]
From the end of scheduled maintenance on September 23, Season VIII: Dynasty will officially be over. Until the next season starts, Glory will no longer be issued as a reward for taking part in matchmaking battles, including Expeditions and Free Battles, Territory War battles, or general levelling. However, in line with previous seasons, Glory can still be earned from Weekly Challenges, Expedition Paperwork, and Border Reports. The Seasonal Store will also remain accessible in its current configuration until a new season begins.

After the Campaign Results have been tallied, Drill Wars will be run until the start of Season IX, with the exception of September 21 (where TW will be replaced with Free Battles). Drill Wars will run every Tuesday and Saturday after September 23. Neither Daicheng nor Anliang can be conquered during this time, and any Fiefs captured will not count towards Triumph rewards.

IMPORTANT: If you intend to leave your House, we advise against this until you receive your seasonal rewards following the end of a season.RANKED BATTLE REWARDS
Ranked Battles for Season VIII will end after maintenance on September 23 where they will be replaced by Free Battles. We will then be issuing the rewards according to each players' Ranked Battle score.

Note: The following rewards stack, so that a Warlord with a Ranked Battle score of over 1,500 will receive the rewards of the preceding tiers.

As you wander the bustling streets of Hao Jing, have you noticed the citizens playing a game? That game is Go (Weiqi). Resembling checkers, the black and white circular stones form a tactical game where the objective is to take over the ‘territories’ of the board.

Go is a fantastically intricate game that requires concentration and discipline, and was said to be derived from strategising Chinese warlords, who would use pieces of stone on a map as a means of mapping out their next conquest. Other theories of the origin of the game place it as a teaching tool, and even an ancient fortune-telling device.

The Tang Dynasty not only brought about a Golden Age of poetry and music, but it also continued its cultural intrepidity by developing the now-4000-year-old game of Go further.

Books devoted to the game were penned during this era, and silk tapestries of players were woven to cement its place in their history.

So, how do you play? And furthermore, how do you become a Go-getter?

Just as in chess or checkers, this two-player strategy game has black pieces and white pieces (stones, in this case). Players take turns placing stones on vacant points of the board (intersections, not squares). Placed stones cannot be moved, but can be captured by surrounding them with your own stones.

Mirroring military strategy, and all about forming unbreakable walls and strong territories, players should try to capture the corners of the board to make it easier to gain territory and defend. The winner is determined by counting points for every stone captured plus each vacant intersection inside their territory.

Go was possibly the most popular game during the Tang Dynasty, as a huge number of excavated Go boards from the period have been discovered.

Feel free to while away your lazy days playing Go to focus your mind on the battles ahead, and check out more Conqueror’s Tales right here.
