👀 WHAT’S NEXT?

Since the 1.0 release, we’ve released 9 patches that fixed, improved, reworked, and rebalanced the game, while also sprinkling in some new stuff in there. The initial 1.0 was quite a mixed bag, which is why we have been listening very closely to your feedback and carefully releasing patch after patch to get the game back on track. We now feel more confident saying that the game is in a more stable, more balanced, and more enjoyable state. So now, we can officially start looking at the next big things for The Spell Brigade!

So here it is! A brand new Post-1.0 Roadmap!

The dev team has been stuck in overdrive for quite some time now, and the heat is not making it any better! So there’s a few vacations long overdue. After that, we will once again lock in to give you fresh content. Stay tuned! And stay cool 🧊
