But we're not done celebrating yet.

As we enter the final stretch of the campaign, we have some incredible announcements; new add-ons, new goals, and something you've all been asking for…

You asked, we listened. The chaos is now huggable!

Introducing the Official Swoose Plush - available NOW as an exclusive campaign add-on!



Soft, adorable, and radiating chaotic energy, this plush captures everything that makes the Swoose legendary. Whether you display it on your shelf, bring it to game nights, or just need a companion for your adventures, the Swoose Plush is here for you.

We're so close. Help us reach 1,500 and unlock this incredible coin!

And now for the big one.

If we reach £200,000, we're unlocking something that bridges the entire Akeroth universe in a way we've never done before.

All 8 dragons from Drakonym will be released as legendary boss encounters in Legends of Akeroth.

Each dragon will come with:

The same dragons that riders bond with in Drakonym have now become the ultimate challenges in Legends of Akeroth.



But there's more.

Defeat all 8 dragons, and you'll uncover the secret of the 9th dragon - a hidden encounter that only reveals itself to those who've conquered the others.

This is the crossover we've been building toward. Drakonym and Legends, united in one epic challenge.

We need £200K to make it happen. We're so close. Let's finish strong.

£175K unlocked. Natural Six confirmed. The Swoose Plush is available. The Melody Coin is within reach. And the Eight Dragons await at £200K.

This is the final stretch. Thank you for everything you've done to make Legends of Akeroth what it is. Let's cross that finish line together.

Adventure on,
The Crossed Paths Team ⚔️

Adventurers,

You did it. £160,000 unlocked!

The Monk and the Witch are now officially part of Legends of Akeroth. Two powerful new classes with two distinct playstyles, and countless new ways to build your hero and explore the kingdom of Erwick.

The Monk brings martial discipline, spiritual focus, and devastating unarmed combat to the battlefield. Masters of body and mind, Monks channel inner energy to perform incredible feats of agility, endurance, and precision.

The Witch commands ancient magic and arcane forces, weaving spells that blur the line between the natural and supernatural. With deep connections to old powers and forgotten rituals, the Witch offers a darker, more mystical approach to magic.


These classes are now part of every backer's experience. Thank you for making this happen.

But today isn't just about celebrating what you've unlocked. We also want to show you something special we've been working on...

In Legends of Akeroth, Rangers who choose the Beastmaster job have the unique ability to bond with creature companions who fight alongside them, grow stronger through shared experiences, and become lifelong partners on the journey through Erwick.

And it all begins with a choice.

When you start your adventure as a Beastmaster, you'll choose one of three starter partners - creatures native to Erwick who will join you from the very beginning and evolve alongside your character.

🌿 Sobulb - A plant-based creature with gentle energy and surprising resilience. The Sobulb may look harmless, but it thrives in harsh conditions and rewards patient trainers with powerful growth and supportive abilities. Perfect for Rangers who value endurance and adaptability.

🔥 Axolitt - A fiery amphibian with fierce energy and unwavering determination. The Axolitt burns bright with inner flame and thrives in heated environments, making it ideal for adventurers who expect to travel through volcanic regions, deserts, and scorching terrains. Its aggressive abilities make it a formidable offensive companion.

💧 Carapage - A sturdy, armored crablike creature with defensive instincts and aquatic mastery. The Carapage protects its partner with natural shell defenses and excels in water-rich environments. For Rangers who want a reliable, tank-like companion that thrives in rivers, coasts, and oceans, the Carapage is the perfect choice.

Each starter partner has unique abilities, different growth paths, and distinct personalities. As you adventure together, your bond deepens, your partner evolves, and new abilities will unlock.

The Beastmaster job is all about connection; the bond between Ranger and creature, the trust built through shared trials, and the growth that comes from facing the world together. Your starter partner is more than a tool or a summon. They're a companion, a friend, and a core part of your story.

Which partner would you choose? Comment below for 100XP!

Choose wisely. Adventure together. Grow stronger as one.

£160K is behind us. The Monk and Witch are unlocked. And now we're closing in on £175K; the Natural Six actual play one-shot.



Let's keep this momentum going. The final stretch is here, and we're not slowing down!

Thank you for everything you've achieved in this campaign. This is your world as much as it is ours.

Adventure on,

Adventurers,

We're entering the final stretch.
 
The last 48 hours of the Legends of Akeroth campaign are almost upon us, and before we cross that threshold, we wanted to unveil something we've been crafting in secret.

Approximately 100 cards, each one featuring custom pixel art, and each one showcasing an item from the world of Erwick - weapons, potions, artifacts, treasures, and tools that will shape your adventures.

These cards are a tactile extension of the game, bringing the items of Akeroth into your hands with gorgeous pixel art that captures the spirit of the JRPG-inspired world we've built together.

Whether you want to shuffle through a physical deck at your table or print exactly what you need, when you need it, the choice is yours.

If you've backed at the Collector's Edition or Artisan Edition tier, the Equipment Card Deck is already included in your pledge at no additional cost.

For all other backers, the deck is available right now as an add-on to your pledge. Any tier. Any backer. Just add them before the campaign closes.

The Cards aren't the end of our announcements today. Something else is coming. Take a look:

Adventurers,

You've unlocked Pets & Mounts! Creatures to bond with, and the ability to travel across Erwick with loyal mounts by your side; it's all yours.



The momentum you've built is incredible. Sanctum, base building, pets, mounts, and more; every goal you've unlocked makes Legends of Akeroth richer and more complete.

But we're not done yet. There are still incredible stretch goals on the horizon, and we wanted to give you a glimpse of what's coming.

And now…

We've been holding onto this one, waiting for the perfect moment to reveal it. And now, it's time to show you what's waiting at £175,000!

This is a big one.

That's right. The incredible team at Natural Six is returning to the world of Akeroth to create a two-episode actual play one shot for Legends of Akeroth when we hit £175,000!

If you're not familiar with Natural Six, they're an incredible actual play group featuring video game industry professionals, including the voices behind Geralt from The Witcher (Doug Cockle), Clive from Final Fantasy XVI (Ben Starr), and Rook from Dragon Age: The Veilguard (Alex Jordan).

Natural Six has performed live at PAX East and MCM Comic Con, and built a passionate community through their YouTube series and Patreon.

Natural Six also played Drakonym recently, and the response from our community was incredible. Watching these talented performers bring dragon/rider bonds to life and navigate the emotional depth of the system was everything we hoped for and more.

When we started planning Legends of Akeroth, we knew we wanted them back.

This two-episode actual play will showcase Legends of Akeroth in action. You'll see the mechanics come to life, watch skilled players navigate the kingdom of Erwick, and experience the kind of storytelling that makes Natural Six so amazing firsthand. 

Not only will you be getting a one shot by these talented creators, but we will be releasing the characters they create as waymates for your own campaigns! The characters in these episodes will be yours to use, complete with everything you need to bring them along on your own adventures.

Each of these goals are within reach. You've carried this campaign further than we ever dreamed, and we're not stopping now. Let's unlock them all, and bring Natural Six back to the world of Akeroth!

Thank you all for pushing these stretch goals, and making Legends of Akeroth into something truly extraordinary.

Adventure on,
The Crossed Paths Team ⚔️
