Hey there, folks! Welcome to Arcadian Updates, where we share super cool updates for Arcadian Atlas that the Twin Otter team are working on, including new maps, classes, mechanics, and much more! We'll have more to share as time goes on, so follow along and check it out!




Today, we're sharing a very first look into one of the sub-classes of Arcadian Atlas: The Hunter! Master the art of stealth, lay traps on the battlefield, and rain arrows on your enemies!

The Hunter knows that man’s greatest foe is one that strikes from above, catching them unawares. With their Death From Above tree, the Hunter and their Animal Companion rain deadly strikes from the skies, while the Guerrilla Tactics tree turns the battlefield into a minefield, laying traps and making foes regret ever stepping foot into Hunter territory.

The Hunter sticks to the shadows, preferring Guerilla Tactics over direct conflict. Use Reconnaissance to gain a better vantage of the battlefield before laying any manner of elemental trap on the battlefield. Let loose your arrows to rain death from above with Comet Shot, striking up to three enemies at once. Maximize pain at nerve centers in order to increase Critical Damage, allowing for fatal blows. Equip a bow or crossbow for varying levels of damage and strike fear in the hearts of your opponents from the shadows.




Not all is right with the world, and less so in recent memory. Crazed soldiers often return home and speak of ghastly creatures yet unheard of in Arcadia. Beasts of incredible power, the dead rising from their graves, terrible monstrosities in the skies. Dire tales of this land spread on hushed whispers, sowing fear and skepticism among all whose ears they reach.

They're too ridiculous to be believed, and yet, curiosity surrounding the mystery of this place enchants brave adventurers and meek souls alike.

Lundum Hills has a dark story all its own to tell, and as the rain gently falls on what remains of a grisly battle, Vashti and Desmond will learn that some stories have a grain of truth in them.

Sub-Class Spotlight: The Ronin

Today, we're sharing a very first look into one of the sub-classes of Arcadian Atlas: The Ronin! Honor past warriors, channel their rage, and unleash the strength of their spirits upon your enemies!

The Ronin is wholly aligned with honorable warriors of the past, harnessing their spirits in the Wandering Soul tree to bestow healing on allies and cripple foes while channeling the unrelenting rage of their time on the battlefield in their Battle Trance tree, losing all control for huge bonuses to ATK, Criticals, and self-preservation.

The Ronin specializes in healing and combat, making it an excellent choice for players that are seeking a well-balanced class. Use the Blade Blossom attack to restore health by calling upon regenerative cherry blossoms to cover the field of battle. Summon malevolent spirits to deal damage from a distance and avoid frontal conflict. Get up close and personal: enter a Battle Trance to focus untold rage and cut down enemies with your katana or magic swords. Become an honorable master of the battlefield as the Ronin.


Not all of Arcadia's three countries were blessed with fertile fields. The southern tip of Lethe Island is said to have been stripped bare by dark magics, an ancient site of terraforming arts gone terribly wrong - it now bubbles over with noxious fumes and puddles of poison, filling the air with an acrid scent so powerful the lungs themselves boil.

Few survive a trek through Putrid Fields long enough to share the tale, perhaps why Lethe has become a favorite prison for the same dark magics that created it.

Today, we're sharing a very first look into one of the sub-classes of Arcadian Atlas: The Sorcerer! Expect the unexpected. To be the ruler of true chaos.

The Sorcerer is an agent of chaos, taking the practice of magic to dangerous extremes and reveling in the frontlines of war and all the unpredictability that entails. Those specialized in the Wild Magic branch care nothing for their own safety, pulsing with energy so unhinged it withers their foes while risking their own lives. A Sorcerer trained in the Touch of Death branch enjoys seeing the life drain from their enemies up-close, laying on hands infused with such concussive magic it obliterates them and leaves those alive utterly debilitated.

This class is perfect for players who like to dabble in chaos. Their ability to touch death and handle wild magic makes them a great choice for those who like to get up close and personal with their foes, or channel their magic from a further distance.




On the furthest edge of Tropis, where the rocky crags meet the sea, countless sailors of old met a grisly fate within the fog surrounding Lethe Island - their ships torn to ribbons and dashed against cliff sides along the coast.

King Tirgan, very early in his reign, commissioned one of Dantalion's most capable architects to construct Ryder Lighthouse, a modern marvel still actively guiding ships from harbor to horizons over the expansive sea. Perched atop one of Tropis' most unforgiving cliff sides, this lighthouse was never intended to have tactical value amidst the war ravaged continent, and yet Vashti will find herself taking refuge amidst its light in the course of our story. What she'll least expect is the person she'll be hiding from.

Today, we're sharing a very first look into one of the sub-classes of Arcadian Atlas: The Shaman! Be the bridge between two worlds: darkness and light.

The Shaman dabbled too long on the fringes and dark recesses of science, learning to manipulate the powers of life and death sometimes for good, and sometimes to the horror of all who witness. Those versed in the path of the Cosmic Overseer have veered towards the light, calling down powers from above to affect all units regardless of distance on the battlefield, while those of the Darker Paths can sacrifice those they hold most dear to fell mighty foes, or revive entire armies—but at what cost?

Perfect for players who dabble in shades of grey, the Shaman is a powerful class that lets you go deep into your true desires. Their ability to call down power and affect units at a distance is ideal for players who like to be a part of the action, but at a safe distance. Raining down destruction from afar while aiding those close is their true calling.








This month, we're showing off the Razed Town! Few are spared by the ravages of war, and when Arcadia is thrown into civil conflict between Lucretia's rag tag army and Dantalion's unrelenting opposition, it's often those with the least means to flee that are caught in the crossfire. Persecution and prejudice are rife in the continent with fears at an all time high against wild magics and people unwilling to commit to a side -it's often easier to raze whole towns than distinguish the difference.

Infused with the power of holy light, Inquisitors are blessed with righteous and vindictive strength. Their unparalleled ability to slay the undead is only matched by their affinity for combating magic users, boasting an incredibly strong Magic Defense (MDEF). Additionally, Inquisitors offer boons and augmentations to their allies by serving as a beacon for their Grand Auras. Those that revel in these auras focus their training in the Aura of Light, turning the area around them into a flood of holy energy that helps and hurts as they choose. There are those, though, that channel their conviction through their bodies, following the path of the Holy Reckoning to mete salvation and justice by their own hand.

Inquisitors are focused on killing magic users of all kinds, with their MDEF providing a strong shielding effect to them as they wade through spells of all elements. This, however, leaves them vulnerable to physical damage, so be sure to keep melee and archers occupied while they wreak havoc in the backline! If your inquisitor is focused in the Aura of Light, keep them just behind your front line so the defenders can have a strong advantage as they hold the line (and occasionally step in to lay down an offensive aura)!



At the foot of the Boultice Mountains rests the Oldwar Triage, a derelict area of respite and healing now becoming overgrown as nature reclaims the area. While the flora come to return the bloodied remains, so do the fauna, and the creatures of Arcadia have grown monstrous and vicious. As war and strife exhaust your party, will the land reclaim them, as well?

Oldwar is a gradual incline, as it sits at the foot of the mountains, but there are steep spaces along the path to position archers and mages, offering your forces an advantage. Make sure your ranged units are safe; open spaces make it easier for melee units to circumvent your front line, and as fragile as they are to physical damage, can be cut down quickly if you're not careful!

As we get into the holidays, the crew will be taking some time off from updates! No worries though, we'll be right back at it with more super cool stuff to show you in the new year! Y'all have a wonderful holiday season, we'll see you soon!

Coming to Arcadian Atlas is the ability to recruit new party members! In a war-torn land, building your forces is key, and building your party's composition in a smart way can mean the difference between victory and defeat. At the recruitment center, you're able to choose from a pool of recruits to join your party, determine their class, rename them, and even get some special bonuses!

Although a pretty and relaxing area, this IS a recruiting ground for fighters from all different walks of life. Fighters? Small space? Nothing could go wrong.




Devoting their lives to rigorous routine and a pure focus on their training, Monks have abilities that can break through the defenses of even the hardiest of foes as well as reshape the battlefield to their advantage. Those that strike hard and fast are dedicated to the way of the Furious Blows, showing unrelenting aggression as their hits deliver a torrent of damage and various debilitating effects, even unto death. Some monks specialize in the mystical ways of the Arcane Energies, providing a versatile set of skills to enhance their party while striking at their enemies from afar.

In a tactical dynamic, Monks are great to have on the frontline alongside other melee classes, as they can gain a quick combat advantage by overwhelming opponents with slow effects and a large amount of damage. At the same time, Monks can also provide a major defensive advantage to other party members close by, establishing zones of protection for your forces and setting up a nigh-impenetrable front to keep enemies engaged!




In the mountains of Arcadia, Borneano rests as a city positioned on the slopes. Dotted by buildings and paved with walkways to traverse the map, the change in height provides a number of vantage points to rain down on enemies below. For those at the base level, a literal uphill battle awaits; with agile enough party members, the cliffs can be taken quickly, evening out the playing field!



The Twin Otter team's still hard at work developing the winding and arduous story of Arcadian Atlas. We can't wait to show more as time goes on, so stick around as we keep sharing more exciting updates! Until next time!

ICYMI: We were part of the Indie Arena Booth Steam event last month! There, we were able to share the Arcadian Atlas demo to players everywhere for the very first time, as well as a brand new trailer! We were really excited to see literally thousands of you play the demo and show off your tactical skills (while using Poncho, right? RIGHT????) as you squared up against some challenging encounters to overcome!

Your feedback has been incredibly helpful in figuring out design decisions the team is working on and considering, including class balancing, battle pacing, overall difficulty, control schemes, and more! We'll be working to implement some of the feedback we've received as we continue working on the game.




Today, we're sharing a very first look into one of the sub-classes of Arcadian Atlas: The Reaver! Watch the shadows, because the shadows are watching you.

Reavers are known for their sudden and relentless strikes on their enemies, unleashing an unexpected onslaught before stealthily slipping away into a hidden state. Those that follow the path of the Dagger Arts are capable of delivering a flurry of blows using short blades, with each attack inflicting various status effects that cripple their enemies while Hired Assassins favor precision strikes, dealing massive amounts of damage in one fell swoop and even bending the shadows to serve them.

For fans of the sneaky-stabby methods, Reavers will be your bread and butter. Their high mobility make them the ideal class for closing distances, locking down a specific target to ensure they go down quickly while being able to evade any retaliation. They're not meant to stick around for a stand-up fight, so apply a lot of damage and effects, then get out fast!




More beautiful, luscious environments? Is that even possible? (Yes, yes it is.)

This month, we're showing off the Stronghold Outskirts! A seldom-used fortification, the area has fallen into disrepair and dereliction. As nature begins to overtake the ruined stone edifices, what new conflicts will arise on this once-dormant pathway? Where will this path lead, and most importantly, how will you pave the way forward?

Arcadia is a land full of conflict, and that conflict is born from a whole host of ambitions and personal desires. We're excited to continue showing off more as we go along, so stick around and find out just how you can build your party to survive the coming conflict! We'll see you next month!
