Greetings Wielders
Today’s Steam post is all about Kastus Maal, an idea we had years ago that has finally clawed his way out of the grave, quite literally, in this case. We started working on his Tale back in 2024, but had to bury it again for some less exciting real-life reasons. With a new plan in place and the success of our Faction DLCs behind us, we were finally able to exhume it properly. And with over 40k wishlists for Rise Eternal, how could we let it rest? So for those of you who haven’t yet stepped into Songs of Conquest, this might be the perfect time to answer the call.
[dynamiclink href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/2977430/Songs_of_Conquest__Rise_Eternal/"] Join the hordes, wishlist Rise Eternal!
Now it’s just a few more bricks to lay on that pixelated mausoleum before it's done. Or, to put it more plainly: Rise Eternal releases on March 5th. And that date is coming ever closer, a little less than two weeks as we release this.
Our testers are currently playing through the Tale, hunting bugs, uprooting Roots, and swarming castles with their ever-growing ranks of Risen. Someone has to make sure the dead march in the right direction. We’re thankful for every bug they find. Oh no, an ambush! With four connected story maps, a tombstone weight of lore, new artifact sets, a new Wielder, and new map entities, this Tale brings a fair share of fresh graves to dig into. We hope you enjoy this way of expanding the story of Songs of Conquest. If all goes well, there are more restless spirits waiting their turn.
For us, this is a creative way of deepening the lore of our existing factions. The campaign left questions unanswered. Some stories refuse to stay buried.
Kastus will find himself in many strange places in search for his vengeance So mark March 5th in your tomes, dust off your necromancy tools, and sharpen your quills. It’s only a matter of time before you are summoned in Aurelia’s name to carve a path through the enemies of Loth and avenge what they did in the Arleon campaign.
We can’t wait until you get to walk a mile in Kastus's one good, rotten shoe and dig up all the secrets, lore, and stories of Rise Eternal.
