Another week during Month of the Mad God passed and we are now activating the next discipline! Swiftblade one so the following dungeon events will go live today. Additionally the Advanced Nest is now available in the Realm and in the Shop in form of Keys! We also added new Levels to our Free Campaign.
As always, the Events and Advanced Nest will start at 12 UTC and run until next tuesday 12 UTC.
The last Art Contest was a while back and the best time to celebrate anything Realm related is during Month of the Mad God! From today on until the 5th of September at 23:59 CET you have time to take part in the next Art Contest!
This can be anything from drawing something nice to baking cookies. The only and most important rule is, it has to be Realm of the Mad God related. Additionally, you will receive extra points if it's related to our MotMG theme! We are not going to judge or include cosplay in this competition, please keep this in mind.

To make sure everyone has a chance of winning even if you are not blessed with creating Art, we will pick 1 random winner from all entries.
*You can choose from skins that are obtainable from the shop.
To submit something, please follow this Link to Google Forms. You will need to provide us with your IGN and a link to your Art.
Some basic rules: 1: You have to own the copyright for the Art. (This means AI-created art is not allowed!) 2: Anything sent in after the 5th of September won’t be included in the competition. 3: By sending in your Art you allow us to highlight it on our social media channels. 4: DECA can remove any entries if they violate our ToS or Age Rating.
It’s time for another Realm Rework Public Testing session! This week you’ll get your first look at one of the new maps along with their enemies, all the biome UTs, and a handful of new setpieces and encounters! Just a reminder, everything you see this weekend is still a WIP and may be using placeholder sprites and/or change over time.
As mentioned in a previous blog post, Biome UTs are powerful items that can only be found by fighting normal enemies within a specific biome. This time you’ll actually be able to try out all of them in game! Head to the shop on testing to receive these items.
Additionally, it wouldn’t be a realm rework without showing you the new realm! This weekend we are prepared to show you one of the new realm maps that is still in progress. Within them you may find a load of new enemies as well as a handful of new encounters and set pieces. Let's see if you can discover them all.
Lastly I would like to thank you all for your patience with this project, please continue to leave your feedback on the official discord so that we can improve the realm further!
It is finally time to start the yearly Month of the Mad God! You will be able to take part in the Echoes of Destiny Event, unlock Enchantments, gain points for our free campaign, and later even fight the Advanced Nest!

Please welcome the first iteration of the Enchantment System to the game, mainly accessible via the brand-new Advanced Kogbold Steamworks. Since we are approaching Month of the Mad God, you will already find some things that are related to this event during this release.
New Season Season 6 is officially coming to an end! That means season 7 can now start! Since this season will be active during Month of the Mad God, you will already see some new things like the Aspirants Items available via Missions. 4 brand new shiny items, the Crystal Cavern Leaderboard, and much more! Additionally, we are introducing a new bundle in the shop to the game, the Seasonal Pack, giving you a great start to the season!
Another week, another testing session. Once again you have the chance to test our upcoming enchantment system. Additionally just like last time Steamworks Hardmode is up! Let's also have a look at our Month of the Mad God Items. The next Seasons Battle Pass and Missions are also live and you can have your first look.
The Month of the Mad God UTs are in the shop, but due to a technical issue, they cant be enchanted yet. Additionally, Dust can be found in the utility tab.
Triton here with another update on the Realm Rework, but first I'd like to address the elephant in the room and a question I've been getting a lot; When can we expect the realm rework to be released and is Realm Rework coming during MotMG? The honest answer is that, no it will not release for MotMG and it wont release until we feel that it's ready so we won't be giving a release window at this time either. But you can look forward to more Public Testing Sessions in the near future.
But now onto better news! Realm Rework has been steadily progressing since the last time we spoke about Realm Rework. Many of you noticed we briefly mentioned "Biome UTs". We're now ready to share some more info about them! As many of you have guessed, Biome UTs are powerful items that are rarely obtained exclusively from normal enemies and encounters within a specific biome.
Each biome (other than biomes in the rookie section) will have their own unique weapon, ability, or ring that will match the theme of the biome that they are found in. For example, the haunted hallows will drop a scarecrow themed pumpkin summon while the Sanguine Forest will drop a blood themed katana.
To find out all about the Biomes and have a look at the videos, visit our Blog Post!
As you are all aware I have been reworking several of our Community programs over the past months. One program that was still missing from this list was the reactivation of the Fancontent program.
In the past, we offered players a chance to send in their own creations for pretty much any kind of asset.
Due to a lot of restructuring within DECA itself and also the Realm Team, this topic unfortunately was not fully overviewed. While the Forms themselves were live for this program, the evaluation of the content was not done due to a different focus for the teams.
Now that we are more structured in regard to our programs, we are reopening the Fan Content Form officially again. This gives you the opportunity to maybe see your own creation in Realm of the Mad God. Please keep in mind that we can never guarantee that something will be added to the game.
A very important note. If you did send in anything since April 2022, the chances of it being reviewed and evaluated are very low. We highly recommend sending your content once again and we can sort through it.
Rewards wise nothing will change. Your Asset will be credited to your IGN, you will receive the Item and additional 2000 Gold. Players who send in several assets and have them added to the game will have a chance to get the Artist Extraordinaire Skins. Please keep in mind that we don't have a fixed number of assets that are required for this.
There you can find the requirements to send in different kinds of Assets. Since we had this issue before, the “date” field of the form is the current date, not your date of birth.
In case you have any open questions, feel free to reach out to me via Discord: DECA_Acalos#8049
