Greetings adventurers!

Something magical is on its way to Akeroth... Literally!

 

Keeping the nostalgia train chugging along, we're introducing that classic joy of trading cards in the school yard with our very own spell cards! Spell cards give you access to powerful abilities across six elemental schools: Radiant, Untamed, Arcanum, Divinity, Inheric, and Voidcraft.

Whether you're shattering enemies with Refraction, calling down earthquakes with Quakecall, overloading foes with thunderous Arcanum magic, or asking cryptic questions of spirits with Gravespeak, these cards add a whole new layer of tactical choice to your adventures.
Each spell has unique effects and conditions, Judgement marks your target for divine retribution, while Bind can root enemies already slowed by your attacks.

Build your spell deck, time your abilities perfectly, and watch your hero harness powers you've always dreamed of.

We're just a few followers away from our next milestone, which means we're getting so close to unlocking a gorgeous fold-out map of Erwick for every backer included in their pledge! And for those of you who are backing us digitally, never fear! You will be receiving a high quality PDF version of the map for all your adventuring needs!

Erwick is the heart of Akeroth, filled with hidden villages, ancient ruins, and mysterious pathways waiting to be explored. This beautifully illustrated map isn't just a piece of art, it's a tool for your every adventure, bringing the world to life as you journal your hero's journey across its landscapes.

If you know anyone who might enjoy Legends of Akeroth, now's a great time to share the campaign. We'd love to hit this milestone together and get this map into everyone's hands!

Thank you all for being part of this journey with us.

Since the map is almost within reach, we figured, why not give you something else to get excited about? Let's talk about our next follower goal!

If we can reach 2,000 followers, we'll be releasing the entire Legends of Akeroth soundtrack on all your favorite platforms! That means Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, and more. Wherever you listen, Akeroth will be there.

The soundtrack captures everything we love about JRPG adventures: the triumphant battle themes, the melancholic character moments, the soaring orchestral pieces that make you feel like anything is possible. And we want it in your hands (or ears, technically)!
 
The first of our many amazing tracks can be found right here ⬇️

 
Your feedback on the previous demos has directly shaped what you're seeing today, and we can't wait to hear what you think of the spell system!

Jump into our Discord to share your favorite spells, your most clutch combat moments, or just to geek out about magic systems with us. 

Adventure on,

Exciting news, Adventurers!

What an incredible few weeks it's been! The support you've shown for Legends of Akeroth has been absolutely amazing, and we're so excited to share everything that's been happening as we get closer to launch.

So many of you have joined us for our newest adventure that we have already hit over 1,000 followers! With Legends of Akeroth, you're not just following a campaign; you're becoming part of something special.
As promised, in exchange for your unwavering support, we are excited to release 6 pregenerated characters in both Character and Waymate form for all of our backers! 



On top of this, as we enter pre-launch, we want to celebrate and thank you for being here from the beginning! Therefore, we've unlocked an exclusive early bird pin that will only be available to physical backers who jump in during the first 48 hours of the campaign! Once those slots are gone, this pin won't be available anywhere else. It's our way of saying thank you to our earliest supporters ✨

If you have followed the project, head back to the Demo folder and you should see Part 2: Friends in Shimin! This new expansion on the Solo Adventure will introduce you to the concept of Waymates and have you delve deeper into the mysteries!

Speaking of jumping in, we've been getting tons of questions about guilds, and we're thrilled to finally start pulling back that curtain! In Legends of Akeroth, your guild isn't just a faction; it's a community that shapes who your character is, what skills they bring to the table, and how they approach the adventures ahead.

Then come back to tell us who you're with by voting below!

Whether you’re drawn to the Thorned Rose, the Lucky Pot, the Blessed Hand, or the Silent Knights. Your choice will meaningfully influence your journey through Akeroth.

For now, start thinking about what kind of hero you want to become… and maybe keep an eye on our polls this week 👀

And while we're on the topic of heroes... if you caught our recent character creation stream, you already know about the legend that is Calvin Calvin, the Croakin Warrior! This brave little frog-folk stole all our hearts and proved that the best adventures come in all shapes and sizes.

Creating Calvin Calvin together showed us exactly what makes Legends of Akeroth special: characters can be quirky, determined, and full of hope all at once. Plus, we learned that sometimes the perfect character name is absolutely worth saying twice! If you missed it, don't worry, we'll be following Calvin Calvin's adventures in future streams so there's plenty more fun to be had!

The path to launch is getting clearer every day, and we've got so much more to share with you: deeper looks at the guilds, more gameplay previews, Herald resources, and even more useful information!
 
This journey wouldn't be the same without you, and we're grateful to have you walking this path with us.

Haven't followed the pre-launch yet? There's still plenty of time!

See you on the path, adventurers. The best is yet to come.
