Greetings, Warriors!

As previously announced, Myth of Empires V1.0 will be released on February 21, 2024. In the lead up to release, we will be holding a Steam Playtest starting on January 23 and lasting for 7 days. This test will feature 18 servers covering the Asian, European, and North American regions. When the test is live, interested players will be able to click the “Request Access” button on the Myth of Empires Steam store page to apply for the test.

Now, we’d like to share even more content that is coming to the game at the V1.0 release:

Mechanical Crate

This is a new type of storage crate that can only store one type of item, albeit in much greater quantities than other storage crates. 

Scythe Wagon

The scythe wagon is a combat vehicle powered by horses. It is composed of four parts: the main body, the spinning blades at the front of the vehicle, the blades at the back of the vehicle, and the blades upon the two wheels. Like a porcupine, this vehicle can shed blood in any direction it wishes. Unlike a porcupine, it is relatively quick and agile. Of course, such a vehicle is bound to see lots of action and require a little maintenance from time-to-time.

Climbing Claws

Central to a new mechanic making its debut in V1.0, these claws can be used to scale steep walls and cliffs. They not only give the game a certain degree of verticality, they also give players a good way to keep a watchful eye on their surroundings.

Here are answers to some of the questions we’ve seen raised in our communities recently:

1. More Details on Private Servers - In addition to the official servers, Myth of Empires V1.0 includes 5 different private server modes. Solo/Hosted Mode includes solo, LAN, and internet servers. Custom servers support both single-server and server cluster modes. Check out the table below to see more details on the differences between the different server modes. Instructions on setting up these servers will be posted at some point before the V1.0 release.

2. Reworked Horse Breeding - We have optimized various mutation stats that appear when breeding horses, making the system more balanced overall.

3. Hand-held Illumination - We have added a variety of new handheld lanterns to the game that will help you find your way in dark areas and at night.

4. Random Equipment Stat Bonuses - Through forging, equipment can obtain random bonus attributes that will help you on your adventure.

5. Equipment Signatures - You will be able to sign equipment you make. This signature will include your server info, guild, and character’s name, giving the equipment you worked so hard to craft just a little bit of a personal touch.

6. Ice Walls - In cold regions, players can pour water on their fortress walls to make them icy, which will make them more difficult for enemies to climb.

7. New Character Appearances - Additional appearance presets have been added with different skin colors and styles.

The development team will continue answering frequently asked questions in future v1.0 content announcements.

Myth of Empires Version 1.0 is scheduled to release on February 21, 2024. In the meantime, we will continue to release new gameplay and content reveals.
