addedOfficial German Translation AddedKnowing that so many of you are active in Germany has been a great motivation for us. In response, we’ve officially introduced German as a supported language in Commander Quest . This wasn't just a matter of translating words—we worked carefully to reflect the terminology and tone of the game’s world as faithfully as possible. We hope this makes it easier for more German Commanders to strategize in their native language, share tactics, and contribute to the growing community. We also hope it makes it easier to record your experiences and to share your most memorable moments with fellow Commanders across Germany.

But we didn’t quite achieve the impact we were hoping for.

Official German Translation Added

To all our Commanders from Germany who’ve shown great love for Commander Quest —thank you! Among our global Commanders, those from Germany now represent our third-largest player base.

Art Asset Improvements

Since launch, our art team has been steadily refining the in-game art that forms the foundation of the live service.

We’re grateful to hear that many of you appreciate the unique visual style of Commander Quest. Still, to enhance immersion on the battlefield, we’ve been selectively improving key pieces of artwork across the game.

Today, we’d like to share two updated event illustrations that we think reflect this change most noticeably.

Altar of the Bizarre

We can’t deny that the previous Altar of the Bizarre was somewhat modest in its presentation. The original intent behind the design—writhing tendrils, ominous flavor text—was to suggest a subtly disturbing presence lurking behind the world of Commander Quest, beyond the battlefield. But we didn’t quite achieve the impact we were hoping for.

Now, when you encounter the newly updated Altar of the Bizarre, you may find yourself feeling as though something is about to meet your gaze. Every time you pass by the Altar now, remember: it may be watching you, too.

Revolution from Below

Of all the updated illustrations, this is arguably the most striking change. The original was defined by abstract color compositions that didn’t fully convey the intended narrative or theme.

And yet, the esteem you Commanders have shown throughout this event lies in your honor and mercy—qualities that will continue to shine through history, remaining unaffected by the change of event art.

Whether you formed a synergy-focused militia or led elite troops with the poise of a veteran, your choices defined the story.

We hope this updated illustration helps you immerse yourself even more deeply when facing this event in the future.

Strategist’s Hall

Passionate Commanders are already sharing their tactics on YouTube. Here are some of the videos our dev team found particularly noteworthy!

In Closing

That’s all for today’s Commander Letter. We wish you glory on the battlefield, and we’ll return next time with updates on the new Commander and some of the new cards currently in development!

This wind seems perfect for spreading your flames...
