Kurukshetra: Ascension changes
Greetings Yodhas!
Have you been sowing chaos and curses on the battlefield? It's time to gather your sena and start your ascent, as Mount Meru is here!
New Realm: Mount Meru
Picture the most incredible mountain you could climb – made of gold and reaching so high, it touches the stars! That is Mount Meru according to the legends. The final path that leads to the abode of the Devas. A place of light, wisdom, and now, conflict!
The Ascension experience is a culmination of all your choices from the humble beginnings of Narak to the lofty peaks of Meru, exploring the conflicts between realms and resolving them along the paths of Shesha and Garuda. You’ll see some familiar faces from our previous seasons (and some new ones!), as they may help or hinder your journey. The choices you have made Yodha will have world-altering consequences you’ll be able to see in a new cinematic that plays upon completing the Meru campaign. We wonder though, are there other paths one may follow?
New Store Bundle
The realms have been tied together in more ways than one, head over to the store to grab a bundle that includes Pataal, Prithvi, and Meru at a special price.
Hero 8: Kaikeyi
The former Queen of Ayodhya and master strategist is now under development as our next Hero. Kaikeyi thrives in the shadows, utilizing stealth and cunning to eliminate her targets. We are currently exploring and testing various designs for her mechanics. Expect an update soon.
New Features
New features are making their way into Kurukshetra: Ascension as well. Some were community suggestions, and others we hope will add more immersion to your play sessions.
In-Game Move History
Players can now look up previous moves played in a match. Need to track what your opponent did? Forgot how many copies of a card were played? Just tap the Move History button to see what went down!
Quest Re-roll
Having a hard time completing a quest? The new Quest Re-roll system lets you switch your daily and weekly quests for a small fee of 5 and 20 Shards respectively. There is no cap on how many times a player can re-roll a quest, so go wild! Please note that New Player and Premium Hero quests cannot be re-rolled currently.
Boss Voice-overs
Finally, our Bosses can show how menacing they really are! Key interactions with Bosses are now voice-acted, adding an entirely new layer of immersion.
New UI and VFX
At Studio Sirah, we’re constantly trying to make the game a seamless and stunning visual experience for our players! Get ready to experience a refreshed look and feel with a brand-new splash for the Launch screen, a streamlined Realm Select UI, polished Deck Builder visuals, VFX updates for attacks, and more.
