We're also eager to hear what's YOUR favourite mount (mine is Water horse, and I promise not to rig the poll in its favour!)

Once upon a time, there was a monarch who set sail on a journey to find the mysterious Lost Islands. Many had attempted this journey before, but few had returned. The only thing known about the island was it had a lighthouse built by the ancients and its location never the same.The monarch was determined to discover the secrets of the Lost Islands. They gathered a small crew of the bravest and most skilled citizens and set sail on their journey.

They sailed through treacherous storms, but they never gave up. They searched every inch of the ocean, but the Lost Islands seemed to elude them.

However, at long last, they see them; looking through their telescope, they witness the fabled Lost Islands. They shimmer and shift with the rise and fall of the sun, and even though the unknown stirs a little fear in their soul, the excitement of the adventure galvanizes them onwards.

Alas, they were never heard from again, just like all the others before them...

Monarchs,

We're delighted to present the new Challenge Island in just a week!

That's right, Lost Islands, the new Challenge Island for Kingdom Two Crowns, will be released on all platforms on January 23rd.

Land, ho! Step onto lands on which time rules over everything.

You can look forward to the following:

• Once you embark on an island, you'll have up to 72 hours to complete it.
  
• If completed before the next day, you'll have to wait until the clock ticks 00:00 before a new one is generated.
  
• You can play this Challenge Island with any of the Kingdom Two Crowns settings.
  
• That's right; you can now additionally play new and older challenges with the Norse Lands setting!
  
• Lost Islands will support co-op.
  
• It'll be released on all platforms on which you can currently play Kingdom Two Crowns.
  
• Every day, a new island will be generated with certain random elements!
  
• It's a free update!

We also received word on the new challenge goals, but our letter got lost overboard and had to be fished out. We'll get it dried off and legible for next week!



Lastly, we've spotted this fellow from afar; he looks mighty familiar; what's he doing on these islands?

'Till next week, onwards! 👑

Monarchs!

Thank you to those who jumped over to our Discord and participated in our Big Kingdom Challenge 2022! It was a fantastic event, with many knowledgeable Monarchs making it to the finals. Our winner has now been crowned, and extra shinies were handed to the finalists. We'd love to rerun it in 2023 and hope to see you there.

For now, though, the new year's bells have not yet rung, and the holidays' festivities have only just begun. So let's take this quiet moment to answer some of your hot questions about our new upcoming Challenge Island - Lost Islands!

• What's the challenge on the island?
  Time…
  
• When will it be released?
  Lost Islands will be floating into your sights in late January!
  
• Will it be random which DLC we play with it can we choose?
  You can choose to play with any of the Kingdom Two Crowns DLC.
  
• The biggest and probably going to be the most asked one, will it support multiplayer?
  Lost Islands will support co-op. In fact… There may even be a co-op achievement to complete. 🤫
  
• Will the special characteristics of each island be generated randomly or scripted?
  Each new island will have certain aspects generated randomly, so pray to the RNG gods for good luck.
  
• Do you need to have all DLC's or just the base game?
  You can have none, all or something in between. :)
  
• Will we be able to go left on the new challenge island or can we only run right?
  Left and right!
  
• Will be released in all the platforms?
  All platforms that you can currently play Kingdom Two Crowns on, yes!
  
• It's going to be free or we need to buy it?
  It’s free!
  
• Will the islands change every 12 hours 24 hours , every week, ect
  There will be a new island every day, but we won’t be rushing you to complete it in 24 hours, but rather give you up to three days to wrap it up. If you complete the challenge sooner, you are of course free to take on the new challenge the very next day. We hope this will allow for a less stressful and fun experience.
  
• Will this challenge island be shuffling between all four settings (Europe/Shogun/Dead Lands/Norse Lands) or will it be like when starting a new save in which you must choose which setting to play on.
  You’ll choose which setting to play on.

A fun extra for y’all, with the release of Lost Islands, Norse Lands setting will be playable in all existing challenges so it’s a new way to play them.

Our most heartfelt thanks to you all for this last year; it's been an adventure, and we're glad you're here by our side.

Now, to 2023, onwards! 👑

Hey, remember the gem keeper from Kingdom Two Crowns?

Yeah, the hooded fellow that so kindly safeguards your precious gem collection?

Have you ever wondered what happens to all the gems players deposit but never collect?

Well, our dear keeper has a little side hustle going on in Lost Islands, the new upcoming challenge island! Keep an eye out for shady dealings in the woods; our hooded friend has some real shiny gems for you... if you got enough coins to pay the price!

Monarchs!

We know you've been patiently awaiting the next challenge island, and our team of scouts has been scouring the lands for one worth your time.

And we've found one. Fight your way through the island, all while being wary of the toughest enemy of them all: the slow and steady ticking of the clock. The hands of time have no masters here.

Face a new challenge island every day, my Monarchs. Coming soon in early 2023.

Onwards!

Monarchs, are you the biggest Kingdom fan of all time?

We want to test your resolve and steel your mettle as we ask you to join us and other fans for The Big Kingdom Challenge 2022, happening all next week over on our Discord: https://discord.gg/rawfury[/url] Each day we'll send you on a new quest, and you'll receive points for your entries and answers. The crowned winner will receive loot that would make a Greed jealous. So keep your eyes peeled and onwards! 👑 p.s I received this random parchment this morn, sender unknown. Sadly the winter rains have left it smeared and faded. What I can make out seems to read, "[i]keep your eyes on the horizon... lands lost.. time runs short...[/i]". What could this mean? I'll take some time to ponder it and return to you once its meaning is clear, my Monarch. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32967186/5b40ab250614116e3d04e6780fb0fb4996f0573f.png[/img
