Hello Champions!

We’re thrilled to announce the launch of Rogue Waves, a new free update for Alaloth: Champions of the Four Kingdoms. This exciting addition introduces a brand-new non-kingdom location: The Iron Shoals. Located in the Sea of Solitude, this archipelago is governed by sailors and pirates who follow an ancient code of honor. For years, a regent has kept the Shoals safe by working with the kingdoms, but the tides of change have brought new challenges. While the pirates still carry the spirit of their swashbuckling past, their actions have become more regulated, focused on contract work and keeping the peace. However, a new threat looms in the form of Vexx, a bloodthirsty pirate whose attacks on the commercial routes between Baga and Edherest have jeopardized the safety of The Shoals and its people. The stage is set for new adventures, and it's up to you to navigate these treacherous waters.

The Iron Shoals: new lands, new legends!


The update brings a wealth of new content for players to explore. First and foremost, Driftcove, a new city hub, awaits those brave enough to venture into the Sea of Solitude. This small city port is the gathering place for the sons of Lauron, where pirate crews and sailors alike converge. To begin your journey to Driftcove, head to Windscar at night, where a quest giver will point you in the right direction. Once there, you'll find new quests leading to thrilling boss fights, alongside fresh items, rewards, and challenges. In addition to this, new timelines and smaller quests will be available on the continent, and a wealth of new entries will be added to the Codex, expanding the lore and world-building of Alaloth. We've also been hard at work fixing minor bugs and iterating on items, weapons, and stats to ensure a balanced and engaging experience, especially during endgame content. Some mobs have received stat adjustments to improve combat balance and make fights feel even more rewarding.

With Rogue Waves setting the stage for exciting new adventures, we're already thinking about the future. One of the ideas under discussion is the possibility of naval battles, which could offer a new layer of gameplay. While it’s still early in the planning stages and no promises have been made, we’re excited about the potential this could bring. More immediately, we're focusing on Alaloth 1.1, scheduled for release this summer. This massive update, Sigil, will include brand-new content, feature enhancements, and some of the most-requested improvements from our community. We’re aiming for a June launch, and the launch of Sigil will coincide with the announcement of a major DLC expansion that we can’t wait to share with you! Stay tuned for more details as we continue to shape the world of Plamen! Newcomers to Alaloth can find all the help they need in the massive official wiki we're actively updating, as previously announced: from class guides to lore and mechanics, it's all on Fandom at this link[alaloth.fandom.com].

Last but not least, Alaloth is now 30% off to celebrate this new release, don't miss the chance to join us in this journey! Check the latest changelog and stay legendary!

Hello Champions!

Today we want to confirm the arrival of a brand-new free update, coming to Steam and GOG on May 5. This update is called Rogue Waves, and it brings a fresh, exciting chapter to the game.

In Rogue Waves, we’re introducing a whole new non-kingdom: The Iron Shoals. An archipelago located to the south of the known world. This new area is a place of mystery, danger, and opportunity, and it’s the perfect backdrop for your next set of adventures. At the heart of The Iron Shoals lies Driftcove, a bustling outpost that is a place of intrigue and conflict, with factions, pirate crews, and merchants all vying for power and control. You’ll find plenty of new quests here, new NPC, items and enemies, and you’ll face a massive new challenge in the form of a giant boss encounter!

A view of Driftcove, a place for smugglers, merchants, mercenaries and...pirates of course!

In the meantime, we’ve also just released a patch yesterday with a few minor tweaks, some bug fixes, and a rebalancing of difficulty to make the experience even smoother for everyone. We’ve listened to your feedback, and the adjustments should offer a better flow and challenge in certain areas of the game. Additionally, we’re excited to announce that Russian and Chinese localizations have been added to the game! As we mentioned earlier, both languages are being iterated with the help of their respective local communities, and we’ll be updating them regularly to ensure that translations are as accurate and polished as possible.


We’re also incredibly happy to announce that we’re officially working on a community-driven wiki for Alaloth over on Fandom! Many of you have been asking for this for a while, and we’re thrilled to finally get started on it. The wiki is still a work in progress, but we’ve already made great strides, with answers to tons of questions now available, ranging from recipes to the locations of companions, la ton of lore to be checked, quests, guides to skills and professions and more. You can find it here[alaloth.fandom.com].

Join us on Discord and check #official-wiki channel to know more about the initiative!

We know that this is something the community has been waiting for, and we’re committed to making sure it’s as useful and comprehensive as possible. Though still heavily in development, a lot of key information is already live, and we’ll continue polishing it in the weeks ahead. Originally, Fextralife was supposed to host the wiki back in the day, but unfortunately, that didn’t work out. Now that the game is out, we’ve assembled a small task force to make sure the wiki becomes a valuable resource for everyone. Expect many more updates and improvements as we continue to expand it.


I want to express mydeep gratitude to the incredible Alaloth community. From the very beginning, this game has been a labor of love, and none of it would have been possible without the amazing support we’ve received from so many of you. Whether it’s your feedback, your enthusiasm, or simply sharing your experiences with us, you’ve helped shape the game into what it is today. However, I also need to address something that’s been on my mind. Recently, it’s become increasingly apparent that dealing with certain individuals has been a challenge. Toxicity, while unfortunately common in any space, can become a draining experience for a developer. As much as I care about the game and its community, there have been moments where trying to balance open, transparent communication with staying healthy has been difficult. As a dev, I’ve always believed in responding to everyone, whether it’s praise or criticism, because I care. I care about your thoughts, your suggestions, and your concerns. But, in the midst of this, I recognize that things haven’t always gone as smoothly as I would have hoped.

Adding new Ways of Power and reworking magic classes has been the biggest change so far, following the huge amount of requests of our players, willing to play a full caster. We've created something to make them happy and still keep our original vision alive!

Some discussions spiraled into a loop where we were accused of not being able to handle criticism. That was never the case. From day one, we’ve built this game on feedback, constantly striving to improve based on what you tell us. But, yes, sometimes, I let things get to me, and perhaps I could have handled situations differently. But still: this the meaning of caring. So, moving forward, we’re going to make some changes in how we engage as a team. We’ll be adopting a different approach to responses, focusing more on improving the game and less on getting caught up in endless debates. Our goal is simple: to listen to your constructive feedback and build the best game possible. I apologize if our past approach sometimes seemed misguided or inconsistent. Let’s hit the reset button, start fresh, and focus on what matters most: the game and how we can continue to make it better for all of you!


Amidst all the work and updates, we have some incredible news to share that really highlights just how far we’ve come as a team. Alaloth: Champions of the Four Kingdoms was honored with the GOTY Award as the Best Italian game at DStars 2025, which is a huge recognition for the hard work we’ve put into this project. But that’s not all: Gamera Interactive also won the Studio of the Year Award! These are incredible milestones for us[80.lv], and we’re incredibly proud of what we’ve accomplished so far.

And if that wasn’t enough, we’ve also completed our first publisher sale on Steam, which is a major achievement for a micro-team like ours. We're hard at work not just on new content, but also iterating on systems to improve your experience. We're focused on raising up our Steam average, ensuring that every update brings meaningful improvements and new features. Stay tuned for more! If you are enjoying Alaloth, always consider to drop a review: it is the best way to support us! Have a great weekend!

Ciao
Alberto
