Expedition Agartha goes 1.0

Next Thursday 9/21/23 Expedition Agartha will be releasing 1.0! With the combination of community feedback and a hardworking team, we have created a world we are incredibly proud of. We want to thank our community for its continued support through this expedition. We have had our ups and downs, but truly through it all we have remained true to our vision and mission for this game. Creating the first medieval melee extraction looter survival game on the market was our dream, and getting to share that with you is our privilege. That being said, 1.0 will come with some necessary changes.

At the launch of 1.0, Free to Play users will continue to have access to the Lost Island and Freebooter Arena
Access to all the maps will be available to those with the Supporter Pack, which will newly be dubbed the Mercenary’s Edition
In order to support this new configuration, the map rotation will be removed
There will be a third edition of the game called Ascended Edition, where users will have access to the full game, the Mercenary Edition DLC, plus additional DLC which is to be announced

These changes will help the hardworking developers keep the lights on and encourage players to actively participate in all the new features and maps the team has rolled out and will continue to roll out in the coming weeks.

We’re excited to showcase these new features for you and we cannot wait to see all of your daring excursions. Keep a lookout in the next few weeks for announcements even more exciting, more daring, and more adventurous developments! In the meantime join us on the Wandering Wizard Discord to engage in gameplay discussions and keep up with giveaways .

As always, safe expeditions.
