Roadmap

We’d like to share an update on July’s releases and development progress, along with our plans for the rest of 2026. Thank you for continuing to share your feedback through Discord, the Steam Community, and in-game channels. Your suggestions help us refine our priorities and improve the game in more meaningful ways.

The roadmap above outlines the major updates planned. The dates shown reflect our current development targets and may shift depending on development and testing progress.

July Update Progress: Guild and Community Improvements

July’s updates have focused mainly on expanding the guild system and improving player interaction. All planned features have now been released except for the Marketplace update.

Guild System Expansion

Guild members can now work together on skilling and combat trials, work toward shared goals, and earn bonuses and rewards.

Automatic Chat Translation

Automatic translation is now available in chat, making it possible for players who speak different languages to communicate with one another.

7 New Language Localizations

The game has been localized into Español, Français, Português, 繁體中文, 日本語, 한국어, and Русский.

Marketplace Update

The Marketplace update is still in development and is planned for release later in July. This update will focus on improving Marketplace mechanics and reducing the impact of monopolies and market manipulation.

Q3–Q4:

High-Level Skilling and Combat Content

We plan to add a new batch of content aimed at high-level players, covering both skilling and combat.

These updates will provide new goals, challenges, and progression opportunities for experienced players, including higher-level resources, crafting content, monsters, equipment, and related rewards.

Taming System (Pets)

Taming will become a new skill for the pets system. Players will be able to discover, raise, and train different pets.

We want the Pet system to offer long-term collection and progression goals while also creating more choices for different playstyles.

Farming System

The Farming system will add a new non-combat skill. Players will be able to build and develop their own farms, grow different crops, and collect new materials for crafting, trading, and other parts of the game.

Ongoing Improvements

These are the main updates currently planned, but we will also continue working on balance changes, interface improvements, bug fixes, and other quality-of-life updates.

We’ll keep sharing more information as development progresses. Thank you again for your continued support, and please keep sharing your suggestions and feedback with us.
