The Draconids have mobilized their forces in the Toxic Wasteland of Terra. As their lasers bore into the planet’s crust, a metal malevolence skulks in the shadows. Amp up and rage against the Draconid machine in Rock and Metal, a brand-new Skyforge expansion!

The Draconids of Terra are formidable opponents. The Immortals deciphered their language, studied their culture, and foiled their attempts to conquer the Heart of the City in a previous adventure. However, the Draconids have now set their sights on a dark excavation beneath the Toxic Wasteland, and what they unearth beneath their impenetrable energy dome may tip the scales of power on Terra.

In this new adventure, you’re tasked with navigating these industrial badlands safely, exploring the area, defeating Draconid patrols, and finding a way into that dome. Amidst the scorched earth, toxic swamps, deadly fumes, and Phytonide hordes, you’ll encounter plenty of hazards and resistance efforts, but intelligence can be gleaned from certain safe zones. Fighting your way to the dig site will be tough, but it shouldn’t be much of a problem for Aelion’s finest!

Beneath the dome, a terrible enemy lies in wait. The Draconid base’s commander, Kerax, is a hulking, monstrous cyborg who has melded his scaly flesh with deadly machinery. This is a heavy metal threat of the highest order – bring him down to stop the excavation, and save Terra from the Draconids’ plans!

Unleash a new Elder God form. The Aspect of Vengeance is a powerful ranged form that can be accessed by any class, while being the default Aspect for Archers, Outlaws, and Gunners. This gigantic blue marksman wields mastery over bows and plasma cannons, and can summon divine lightning, volleys, and punishing weapons from the sky. Utilise the Aspect of Vengeance’s supreme deadeye abilities, and let none escape your sights alive!

• Astral Cannon (Weapon Switch): The Aspect of Vengeance’s bow is transformed into a cannon that rapidly fires energy charges. This ability alternates your standard attack between Piercing Flare and Melting Shot.
• Piercing Flare (Left-Click): Unleash your vengeance, and launch a ranged assault on enemies directly and within the area of effect! Targets affected by Storm Charge will take extra damage, while a damage wave with a 5 yard radius will also be created around them. Attacked targets will also take further damage if they’re within 5 yards of a Thunder Barrier. After the effect is over, you will receive 2 charges for the Astral Cannon ability.
• Melting Shot (Left-Click): Fire a powerful plasma projectile to dish out area of effect damage to groups of enemies. Combine the Melting Shot with Thunder Barrier to increase damage and the area of effect!
• Storm Charge (Right-Click): Deals electrifying damage to the area around a selected target, and to all enemies close to a Thunder Barrier. Targets will receive damage for 5 seconds.
• Thunder Barrier: Loose six arrows into the sky, which form a line when they fall. For 15 seconds, any enemies that cross the line will be damaged and paralysed for 2 seconds. Even strong enemies can be caught in the barrier!
• God’s Fury (Ultimate Ability): A weapon of terrible judgement appears in the sky and fires 4 shots at enemies with a 30 yard radius, singling out targets with the most health. The weapon will then fall in the densest area of enemies, dishing out huge damage!

If you haven’t unlocked any powerful Elder God forms yet, it’s easier than ever before. After you’ve worked your way through the Temple of Deeds and completed all the Halls, you will gain access to the Hall of the Elder Gods. Here, you can unlock Aspects. You’ll need Avatar Trophies, which you can get by playing through an Invasion, defeating the new Training Avatars and the main Avatar of the Invasion, and claiming their Trophies. Rack up Avatar Trophies from Invasion events to unlock the Aspect of Vengeance, Aspect of Magic, Aspect of Tenacity, Aspect of Rage, and Aspect of Mercy.

The Oceanid Invasion will be active in Skyforge until January 2020, giving you enough time over the holidays to send the monstrous Oceanid Avatar, Tol Monter, and his Training Avatars back to the briny ocean depths, and claim their Avatar Trophies! For more details about the Aspect of Vengeance, have a look at the dedicated article.



Skyforge: Rock and Metal is available now as a free update for PC. The update will be released for PlayStation 4 on December 17th, and for Xbox One on December 18th. If you want to see all the new changes in the Rock and Metal expansion, check out our dedicated patch notes.

For those about to rock, Aelion salutes you!

It's time for winter fun in Skyforge! From December 17, 2019 to January 8, 2020, the Winter Celebration will take place in the game. Participate in winter festivities and have fun!


You will find many seasonal items and emotes that can be purchased with Icy Gems!

Complete holiday quests and earn Icy Gems! They can then be exchanged for unique accessories or mounts in the Market. This year we added the following items to the holidays section:

• Blizzard Experimental Skates,
• Immortal on Ice emote,
• Winter Fun emote,
• Winter Patterns Tattoo Set,
• Winter Celebration Halo (2 styles),
• Winter Mystery Helmet (2 styles),
• and color options for your favorite costumes!

 

 
A giant Ice Arrow track has opened in Aelinar. You can also visit the training track, Silver Road. Test your skills in a solo run or compete against other players. Everyone can participate in the competitions. The tracks can be accessed through the adventure list.

And make sure to visit the tracks during Happy Hours! Participate in speed skating competitions from 12:00 to 13:00 and from 19:00 to 21:00 to receive an increased number of Icy Gems.

A new set of holiday challenges awaits you – complete them to receive a special portrait center and decoration!

• Herald of Winter: During the event, defeat five immortals in rated PvP as a Cryomancer.
• Winter Training: Complete three sessions on the Silver Road track and earn at least 750 points in each session.
• Unbeatable Speed Skater: Win first place in a skating race on the Ice Arrow track at least five times.
• Flawless Performance: Cross the finish line on both skating tracks without falling once. Reward: new portrait center.
• Professional Speed Skater: Complete the main challenges related to the Silver Road and Ice Arrow skating tracks. Reward: new portrait decoration.

 


During the event, log into the game and go straight to the park! You will find a present under the holiday tree! You will get one present every day until you collect all 14!


When you enter an adventure, you may run into Asterius, learn the history of the holiday, and receive a few cryocapsules. With these items, you will earn a snowball for every victory over a monster. Snowballs will also come in handy when you encounter a Khelp Prankster in an adventure (Squad, Group, or Invasion).

All picked-up weapons will change their appearance during the event. Khelp Pranksters are a special subspecies of Oceanid that has lived on Aelion since ancient times. They become active during certain periods. All they want to do is disrupt the Winter Celebration.

Without a divine form, the only thing you can use against them is a magic snowball. They are truly bizarre creatures! These Khelps will try to steal your loot in Squad or Group adventures (Nerion’s Castle or Aristel's Farm). If you don't pelt them with snowballs as soon as they show up, they will grab your loot and run off, laughing triumphantly. And if you succeed, you will get the Khelp's loot as well. We know they always have at least one stolen gift with them.

The small chest may contain fireworks, snowballs, or Icy Gems. Or all three, if you are lucky!

If you want Khelp Pranksters to never bother you again, you can get a special amulet. Check the Events section of the Market.

Participate in events, collect Icy Gems, purchase special costumes and mounts, but most importantly, have fun!



Happy Winter Celebration!

In the upcoming Rock and Metal update, all elder gods will be able to access the Aspect of Vengeance. You will need an Avatar Trophy to unlock its bonuses and new features. The gold node, for instance, will allow characters to use the ether essence of distortion generals to upgrade their equipment!

If your Temple of Deeds is not fully unlocked yet, we have good news for you: in the new update, you can get up to 6 trophies from the training version of an avatar, which will unlock all divine specializations. You will need trophies from the champion version to learn Aspects.


 
The Aspect of Vengeance is armed with a bow which transforms into a cannon and can summon lightnings that strike enemies. If enemies get too close, you can create a barrier of arrows and then use it to boost your abilities.

 

The best part comes when you unlock the nodes of the new aspect. They grant the character several nice bonuses and extra mobility – after unlocking the gold node, you will be able to use special sparks to upgrade your equipment. They are unique for each invasion army. You can get them in the third distortion – one spark is guaranteed when you successfully complete your first run of the day. The rest drop with a certain chance.



 
These sparks add unique attributes, increasing damage to enemies of the corresponding army. Minimum bonus is 2%, maximum is 9%. When applied again, sparks increase the bonus by 1%. One legendary artifact can have 3 different attributes, meaning you can deal increased damage to three different invasion armies. Epic and rare artifacts can have 2 and 1 attribute(s) respectively. Keep in mind that modifying the artifact – adding, upgrading, or replacing attributes – costs credits.

Artifact attributes are not the only way you can increase your damage to invaders. Flavius's laboratory offers a few bonuses. To save you the effort of calculating the combined bonus of all the nodes and attributes, we added these attributes (damage to army) to the stat list.

If you want to change an attribute, you can use a Spark of Potential. You can get only four per invasion – one for each completed distortion. When applied, it can replace the selected attribute with a bonus to damage to another army. Using this spark will reduce the stat value by 1-3 points. For example, during an Oceanid invasion, you upgraded the bonus to damage to them to 9%. But when the enemy left Aelion, you decided to change this bonus. When you apply a Spark of Potential, damage to another army will be boosted instead, but the new bonus will be 6, 7, or 8%.



The new aspect will be available to all PC players on December 17!

Avast ye landlubbers! Across the vast oceans of Aelion the Oceanids have rallied around the Great God Tol-Monter for yet another full-scale assault on the surface world. Now Immortals are notoriously poor swimmers... sinking like a stone, despite all their divine glory. Unless you’re all gilled up like the one and only Protheus, this can make our aquatic foes fairly tricky to take on. Best option? Sink them before they can sink us!

From December 10 to January 7, our goal is a preemptive strike against the leaders of the Oceanid Invasion. We ask that all Immortals aim to take on the distortion bosses as early as they unveil themselves. Each victory will count towards a total score across all servers and platforms, leading to grand rewards and blessings!


A successful victory against a distortion boss will count as one point towards the total score. The magically sealed Khelp Lorro, the vengeful Naiad sisters Alciona and Melia, the keeper of vast Oceanid knowledge Wise Latanu, and the instigator of Aelion’s remnants Nautilus.

• Week 1: A1 Lorro the Cold
• Week 3: A2 Alciona and Melia
• Week 5: A3 Wise Latanu
• Week 5: A4 Nautilus

Defeating the distortion bosses before they have a chance to retaliate will leave Tol-Monter all the more exposed. A successful victory against the Great-God’s Avatar, whether it be Training or Champion, will count as an additional point towards the total score!


As you face off against the Oceanids, and the total score increases, your rewards will grow greater:

• Goal 1: 6,000 Points
• Goal 2: 7,000 Points
• Goal 3: 8,000 Points

Aeli’s Blessing
For each goal reached, additional days of Aeli’s Blessing will be activated for a total of 10 days upon reaching the final goal. While Aeli’s Blessing is active, Credits and Knowledge of Enemies obtained from adventures are increased by 50% for every Immortal!

Sailor Outfit
Your triumphs against the Oceanids and their tumultuous waves will be aptly rewarded with the Sailor Outfit!

Personally defeating Tol-Monter’s Champion Avatar during the course of the event will reward you with the blue color variant.

So, brave the waters and take on the most powerful of the abyssal Oceanids! Only then will we be able toss these flailing fish fiends off our lands and back where they belong! Aeli will reward your bravery...just try not losing your step.

Terra is a planet full of secrets and mysteries. The forces of Aelion managed to gain a foothold here despite the resistance of the Draconids. The lizards turned out to be a formidable opponent, but the immortals are not ones to easily give up. We studied them and found a way to decipher their language, which helped us successfully repel their attacks.

But now we are faced with another threat: the Draconids found something important under the planet's surface. According to our intelligence, their discovery may change the balance of power on the planet. They set up a base under an energy dome and started drilling. We must stop this research and disrupt their plans.


The drill site is in the old industrial zone. But right now there is nothing but scorched earth, toxic swamps, deadly fumes, and the Phytonides that feel right at home in this environment. Among all the chaos, intelligence discovered relatively safe spots where important information can be obtained. Perhaps it will shed light on the secrets of the distant past and help us find out what happened on the planet and why this place is so contaminated. But first we need to figure out how the lizards move through the contaminated area without getting harmed. You must exercise extreme caution: one false step may lead to death.


 
This base is very important to the Draconids, so we should expect heavy resistance. The lizards use the area's properties as an extra line of defense, but the dangers of the area is not the only challenge that awaits you. The base is protected by an energy dome –– find a way to disable it to get inside. Of course, the control panels are well-defended –– you will have to fight your way past numerous enemies, including officers. Perhaps they have information on how to get access to the base.

 

The most dangerous enemy is inside. Our intelligence reports that someone named Kerax is in charge of the base. But he is clearly not an ordinary Draconid. According to the radio transmissions we intercepted, Kerax is a sentient Draconid who melded his flesh with a giant mechanical body. If that part is true, then he is a deadly opponent all on his own, but keep in mind that the lizards are quite inventive – they must have other tricks up their sleeve.



Be ready! The challenges ahead are not easy, but we must stop the Draconids and find out exactly what they have discovered under the planet's surface. Perhaps it will help us learn more about Terra's past and gain the upper hand over our enemies. But we shall leave that to our scientists. Our job is to get inside and secure the facility. And try not to raze it to the ground: we need all the data the Draconids have collected so far.

Tis the season of giving, Immortals; and we are excited to celebrate with an entire month of fun giveaways and holiday festivities! Snow is falling, friends are calling, and the Winter Advent Calendar event will make you say "WOO HOO"!

All the way up until Christmas day (from December 3 to December 25), you can participate in daily holiday activities, complete with exciting rewards for each and every one! Who doesn’t love a neatly wrapped gift? Well, with the Advent Calendar you get 25 chances at some pretty cool stuff.

Snap some pics, write some stories, and share your Christmas spirit! There’s an event for everyone to show off their creative chops and just have a merry ol’ time!



Every day of December you can expect Facebook and Discord to be updated with a brand-new daily event. Each daily event will begin at 09:00 CET (12 AM PST) and end at 08:00 CET the next day (11 PM PST on the same day), with winners being announced the following morning. You’ll especially want to be ready for the weekend events, which will last 2 days and offer a larger reward to the winners!

December is primed to be an exciting month with plenty to do! From the in-game Winter Celebration, new winter gear and cosmetics to daily Advent Calendar activities! We’re looking forward to a holly jolly holiday celebration with each and every one of you. Let’s make Christmas on Aelion this year especially memorable!

A cold-blooded threat has emerged from the shadows, and its dark designs spell disaster for Terra. It’s going to take all your Immortal might to rage against a terrible war machine in Skyforge: Rock and Metal, the brand-new expansion launching this month!



The Draconids have established a base in the industrial wastelands of Terra. Shielded by a large dome, these scaly fiends are using powerful lasers to drill into the planet’s rocky crust. Whether they’re looking for treasure, weapons, or something entirely more sinister, intelligence shows that their dark excavation poses a threat to the whole planet.

Take out the Draconid guards, bring down the dome, and face down a heavy metal threat of the highest order in this brand-new adventure!



Revenge is a dish best served at range. The Rock and Metal Update will introduce a powerful new form for players who have defeated an Invasion Avatar and earned a trophy: the Aspect of Vengeance. Available primarily for the Archer, Outlaw, and Gunner classes, this cerulean colossus is a new Elder God form equipped with pinpoint marksman abilities that can eradicate enemies before they even think about attacking.

Make sure you’re prepared to unlock the Aspect of Vengeance. Repel the currently active Oceanid Invasion and defeat Tol Monter, the monstrous subaquatic Avatar of this Invasion, to achieve your true potential as Aelion’s defender.



Skyforge: Rock and Metal will be released as a free expansion on December 17 for PC, December 18 for PlayStation 4, and December 19 for Xbox One.

Earlier this year we announced MY.GAMES, the new international gaming brand dedicated to developing, publishing, and supporting the games you love to play. We are now ready to move all My.com games over to their new home: the MY.GAMES Store! We will be rolling out our plans in several stages before we finally complete the transition to MY.GAMES and a new gaming platform on December 4th.
  
We have scheduled planned maintenance across all supported My.com games which will be moved to the new platform. All services for these games, including access to servers, online play, and purchases, will be unavailable between December 4th at 03:00 CET and December 4th at 11:00 CET (times and dates may be subject to change). Note that an estimated downtime of up to 48 hours will be required to transition between myLoot and the MY.GAMES Market, therefore myLoot will not be accessible from December 2nd at 22:00 CET.
 
IMPORTANT: The new gaming platform, the MY.GAMES Store, and related new services and functionalities are being introduced in an early beta state. We will be monitoring performance and player feedback in order to implement improvements in the coming weeks and months.
 
Upon completion of the maintenance, all users will have access to the platform’s new functionality through the MY.GAMES Store, including:

• Games Catalog: Choose your game from a library of awesome titles from MY.GAMES and other publishers, and jump in to a world of fun!
• Community: Chat with other players, discuss your favorite games, post awesome screenshots and videos, and more!
• Save your best gaming moments: You’ll be able to save your greatest achievements and crazy plays through your profile.
• MY.GAMES GameCenter: Quickly download and install all available MY.GAMES Store games using this sleek game launcher.
• MY.GAMES Market: An evolution of myLoot, you can find all the best deals on in-game items and bundles through this web store. MY.GAMES Market features integration with the Donation Alerts service, giving you a direct line to collaborate with content creators.

 
We have even more great functionality coming in the near future, including:

• Support for friends and messaging
• Gameplay streaming support across multiple popular streaming platforms
• Sending gifts to other players
• Achievements
• A mobile application for the MY.GAMES Store

 
From December 4th after maintenance is completed, myLoot will become the MY.GAMES Market, your new one-stop shop to get awesome bundles and in-game content for MY.GAMES titles. Featuring a brand-new interface, this service will be accessible from a new URL: market.my.games (we recommend updating your bookmarks). Your myCoins balance and any items or chests left in your myLoot inventories will be safe in the MY.GAMES Market, and will be accessible here when the service launches.
 
As mentioned above, an estimated downtime of up to 48 hours will be required to transition between myLoot and the MY.GAMES Market. After this planned maintenance is completed, all services will be accessible from the MY.GAMES Market. If there are any purchases or item transfers you would like to carry out during this timeframe, please ensure that you do so before maintenance begins.
 
Through the MY.GAMES Store platform, we will also publish and host games from new partners, expanding the available portfolio of games to create a rich library of amazing experiences. We are currently accepting submissions from developers and publishers through our developer portal. Developers releasing their games through the MY.GAMES Store can enjoy additional features, including marketing support for their game projects, access to anti-cheat system integration, and the ability to stream on the project page.
 
We’re looking forward to welcoming you all to MY.GAMES and our brand-new gaming platform. We hope you enjoy and take full advantage of all the new functionality and features!
