We’re approaching the end of 2020, but we still have more surprises to share with you! Starting December 22 on PC and December 23 on PlayStation and Xbox, a free update will bring several new features and changes to Skyforge, including updated user interfaces, improvements to Invasion Adventures on Nightmare difficulty, and a new type of Mount!
Exoskeletons
Flavius has been hard at work testing a new invention for Immortals: the Exoskeleton! This new type of Mount grants its wearer special abilities, and the ability to use divine attacks and weapons. It’s definitely going to come in handy in your battles against invaders, especially Nightmare Challenges!
Exoskeletons are made up of four Modules which can be modified in the ‘Transport’ tab. The Base grants a few bonuses, which the other Modules (Back, Arms, Legs) are then attached to. Each additional Module can improve the Exoskeleton by making it sturdier and granting you additional abilities. For example, the arms module will make the exoskeleton more durable, and you will be able to charge your Companion’s attacks. The Back module can make it even tougher, enable the ability to fly, and increase damage dealt by Class Abilities whenever your companion’s charged attack is used. The Legs module will up your speed while also upgrading the Emergency Maneuver symbol, allowing it to charge your Companion’s attack or increase damage dealt by emblems.
Building and Upgrading the Exoskeleton
When the update is live, you’ll be able to start collecting the Modules to assemble your own Exoskeleton! Each Exoskeleton Module has several properties, and they also vary in quality like other equipment for Immortals. The higher a Module's quality, the more bonuses it grants. The highest quality Modules can be obtained during the events of the current Invasion. Modules from previous Invasions can also be received as seasonal rewards for completing Distortions. During the current Invasion, you can obtain Modules from Distortions and a Promotion that will launch alongside the new update.
To improve a Module's quality, you will need Exoskeleton Module Components. You can obtain these by disassembling any Modules you don't need. Once you have enough Components, you can upgrade Modules using the interface for upgrading equipment.
Nightmares in Invasion Adventures
Nightmares are becoming more varied. Rather than just Squad or Group Adventures, Invasion Adventures are joining in with the fiendish fun! Do you have what it takes to fight off the Oceanids while being plagued by Maledictions, and can you defeat your enemies on the tenth level of Nightmare Challenges? Only the most battle-hardened Immortals need apply for this challenge!
Invasion Adventures for groups of three players (during the Oceanid Invasion, these Adventures are ‘Lending a Hand’, ‘Sudden Attack of the Oceanids’, ‘Kanter Aelerium Plant’, ‘Oceanid Incubator’, and ‘Evacuation’) will be available in the Squad section. Adventures for five players (‘Abandoned Fort Garune’, ‘Crashed Aircraft’, and ‘Oceanid Flagship’) can be found in the Group section. Yes, you read that right: the ‘Oceanid Flagship’ Adventure can now be completed in a group of five players! Not just in Nightmare Challenges, but on Normal Difficulty, too.
The Invasion Atlas nodes that affect Group and Squad Adventures will now work in the above-listed Adventures, too. Test your skills and show everyone that Aelion’s Immortals are a force to be reckoned with!
Revamped User Interface
Skyforge is a fusion of science-fiction and fantasy, but we thought that Flavius might like a user interface theme that’s a little more austere, modern, stylish, and high-tech. All elements of the user interface have been updated for a clean new look, but the positions of the buttons, tabs, and windows remain the same. We hope you enjoy the changes!
The holidays are just around the corner, and you’ll soon be able to participate in various festivities and events (don’t forget to check all the events and free gifts you can claim during Winter Wonderworlds). Next year, we’ll continue working on new major updates. For now, get ready to build your own Exoskeleton, fight Oceanids, and contend with Nightmares when the new update lands from December 22!
As we celebrate the holiday season, Aelion is once again host to the Winter Celebration Races! This year, we'll be awarding bonus prizes to the most talented racers.

The latest update for Skyforge is landing alongside the Oceanid Invasion on December 2 on PC (and December 3 on consoles), and we’re looking forward to offering an improved experience for new players!
Firstly, everyone who starts out with a new character in Skyforge after the update can play through an enhanced, streamlined tutorial that runs through Junior Godhood and beyond.
Alongside new stories unfolding in Aelion, beginners will also be able to share their experiences with a friend! For the first time, starting provinces are playable in groups of up to two or three players, so you can start and develop on your Immortal journeys together.
We’ve also made improvements to the path between Junior Godhood and different aspects of divinity. You will now experience a smoother journey, and players should no longer undergo a significant decrease in power upon completing the tutorial. Additionally, the path to further improvements is also clearer.
Finally, long-expected changes to our progression system, including the previously-added Trophy Boosters and improvements to Might and Structures, will be in place to help players catch up on the current season and get right into the endgame!
You’ve been doing a stellar job in keeping the Demon Invasion at bay over the past few weeks, but we need you to hold your ground a little longer. The Demon Invasion will be extended until December 2 on PC and December 3 on PlayStation and Xbox.
The next Skyforge update will launch soon after the end of the Demon Invasion. As this update is set to introduce new features and content, including changes to Might and progression, a little more development time is needed to ensure we get everything right. Thank you for your patience as we continue working on this!
If you’re spoiling for your next fight, the Oceanid Invasion will also launch alongside this update. Grab your snorkels and get ready to splashdown!
Another game of King’s Ransom is starting on Aelion! As soon as we announced it, a mysterious man appeared in the park. The character is interested in unusual coins and offers various goods in exchange for them. You can get these coins by participating in King’s Ransom. What an amazing coincidence!
The rules are simple: just open the card and take the treasures hidden in it! Participate, earn rewards, and compete for the Triumph grand prize!
