Hey there Wizards, Mages and Magical Folks!

Today we launched a small anti-cheat patch that addresses some exploits that have been reported. No other changes have been made during this update.

Just a reminder that the Blue Isle Studios team will be away for the Holidays starting 19/12/2020 until 04/01/2021. Please be patient during this downtime, and we hope you all have a safe and happy holiday season. We’ll see all of you in the new year!

Hello Wizards, Mages and Magical Folks of Ignus!

The wait is nearly over, Citadel’s massive expansions coming to the base Citadel game this Winter season! In this update, players will traverse a completely new area oozing with ominous powers, unlike anything you’ve encountered before. Be sure you’ve sharpened your magical skills before making your way into the new dimension!



We’ve received a lot of questions about how the new world will function within Citadel and we’re here today answering a few of those questions.

How will you get to this new world?
MAGIC! This is Citadel after all, what would we do without the magical forces that make Ignus such a mystical place? There will be a location where players will be able to harness immense powers that will allow them to teleport to this new world.

What’s in this new area?
EVERYTHING! Throw everything you know about Ignus out the castle window. Powerful magic is afoot turning everything on its head. Not a stone, tree, vegetation or creature has been seen before entering this world. You may be the first to identify a brand new beast. Beware.

Will we need to start over in this area?
That is a very big NO! In fact, this update is to enhance player’s experience in Citadel, offering brand new quests, activities, structures, etc. There is much more in this expansion for new and senior magical folks.

That’s not all. We want to get you excited about one major update that has been requested by the community: Creature Storage! We heard your pleas for a way to increase the amount of tames and with the new summoning essence making its debut, we thought this would be the best time to implement the new feature!

All of these massive new features are coming to Citadel as a free DLC. This update is taking a little longer than planned however it’s to ensure that our players receive the best experience possible. That being said there is a lot more planned out that we haven’t shared just yet with you - a surprise is always more fun when you least expect it. Please look forward to the next update launching this winter! Stay tuned as we get closer to launching all this new content and releasing more information about what’s to come.

As always please let us know your thoughts and suggestions. See you in Ignus soon!

Hello Wizards, Mages and Magical Folks of Citadel,

As summer is wrapping up here Citadel is still ablaze with new content sprouting out just around the corner. Hold onto your wands, we’re breaking into the unknown!



It’s been rumoured of a far off land similar to our own, calling for the bravest wizards and mages to traverse this unknown world seeping in mystery. What we know about Ignus just may be flipped upside down as rules here have no boundaries, stay tuned.


Strange sightings have been recorded about menacing creatures roaming all throughout the land. There’s been no sign of these creatures being native to Ignus, please exert caution while encountering these strange beasts. With new reports of tamable creatures, we’re happy to say the more the merrier! There will now be a special way for tames to be stored for players to summon at their own will.


More Mastery Level structures are coming to help high-level wizards.


Brush out those wands and sharpen your spell books because an all-new essence will soon be debuting in Citadel. A big thank you to all the community support bringing this essence to life.

More yet to Come!


There is more to come down the line including new daily quests, and as we get closer to launching the new content we will roll out more information regarding these features. As always thank you to the community for all the support and help, we’re always taking in your feedback and suggestions. We hope everyone continues to stay safe and healthy at home. See you again soon Wizards.

Hello Wizards,

The time is finally dawned upon us, the epic Godking’s Vengeance part-two has made its way to Citadel. An entirely free expansion that extends the base Citadel game. Today’s huge new update features an epic concluding storyline, a mutant world spawner event, new trinket abilities, emotes, new creatures and LOADS more!



An all-new dungeon has been uncovered! It’s quite evident that a dark evil is at foot; hidden deep in the heart of Ignus, a crypt riddled in the dark arts holds a dangerous secret. Covered in a grainy ash, this area appears to be completely in despair. With the immersion of this new crypt, your land and all of Ignus' very existence is now threatened. Heroes must take caution while entering this dimension in order to vanquish this new threat!



Wizards you must be on high alert, we've received reports of a horrifying creature looming in the shadows. This horrifying monstrosity has been hiding dormant within Ignus waiting for the perfect moment to strike! Take caution when challenging this creature; they will not go down easily, however, you will be rewarded handsomely for your victory.



Embark on a brand new quest! Gembok has heard of a new development regarding an ancient evil that has awakened deep within the heart of Ignus. A horrifying dimension has emerged and has mutated a gruesome enemy bent to wreak havoc. Set out to seek knowledge of the impending danger from a new adversary well versed in the dark arts. Only the bravest heroes can take on this foe, Gembok holds the knowledge of this mysterious evil lying dormant in the Crystal Caves.



With all this paranormal activity going on, it’s no surprise a vicious mutation has made its way amongst the wild beasts that roam the land. These mutated monstrosities are far more powerful and much bigger than their counterparts. Team up and take on these boss-level creatures, those who come out victorious will be rewarded with the greatest treasures!



You can now dance the night away. 🎶 Introducing emotes to Citadel! Strike a pose or taunt your enemy with your stellar dance moves.



Time to saddle up those tames! Adding some extra protection to your favourite tames with the new armored saddle series.



Two are better than one! You now have the ability to set two trinkets active at once.
Take to the sky as you fly throughout the world while keeping your mana rings activated.

• You will now find signs throughout Ignus, make sure to check out any messages that may be displayed, they could prove quite helpful

Hello, Wizards of Ignus!

We hope everyone is healthy and staying safe at home. Our team has been working away to bring you a lot more Citadel content, we are extremely excited and can’t wait to show you what we have planned over the next couple of months!



A dark evil is lurking in the shadows of Ignus that threatens your land! There’s not too much known about this villainous monstrosity, only the bravest heroes will be able to vanquish this evil. Part two of our massive expansion is making it’s way to the base Citadel game. Courageous heroes bold enough to take on this unknown evil will be left with a grand story to tell. Get ready for the concluding story, brand new features, new structures and all-new deadly creatures roaming throughout Ignus in the upcoming months!

Stay tuned to learn more about this all-new grand adventure waiting for you!

Our quest system has expanded once again, with an all-new series of quests leading deeper into the secrets of Ignus that was once long forgotten.
That’s not all! We will also include a brand new Daily Mastery Level Quest, so stay tuned for more information on these two major quests expansions!



An increased amount of paranormal activity has been awakened in the shadows of Ignus, increasing the frequency of mutations among the wild beasts that roam the land. They are much bigger and more powerful than their standard counterparts, can occur seemingly anywhere, and provide a far more rewarding challenge for the stoic heroes who vanquish them. Do you have what it takes to tackle these deadly foes? Team up to challenge these boss-level creatures or dare fly solo. Those who come out victorious will be rewarded handsomely.

There is a lot more content planned out which we haven’t been able to share just yet and a lot of new game mechanics that have been greatly enhanced. As we get closer to release we will update you guys further on what’s to come.

As always thank you to the community for all the support and help, we’re always taking in your feedback and suggestions. We hope everyone continues to stay safe and healthy at home. See you again soon Wizards.
