As noblemen, nomads and sellswords fight tooth and nail for dominion of this coveted land, a new shadow is cast. Prepare to do battle with the ascendant Anadolou Empire when their armies are unleashed in Season IV: Blood of the Empire, launching as a free update on July 21!
This season is packed with suitably epic content, including two new maps (for Field and Siege Battles), four unlockable units, exclusive attire and items from the Battle Pass, ornate weapons from the Anadolou Empire’s armouries, and new deployable items to help level or block the battlefield.
Ready to up the ante in Season IV’s Territory Wars? Warlords will be able to create their own large-scale structures in the open world, adding a rich tactical layer to this twice-weekly event. We’re also introducing a new type of reward to the Season IV Battle Pass in the form of Emotes! These fun animations offer creative ways to express yourself in victory, defeat, and everything in between.

Minus a few technical glitches at the start, the event went great! We had a load of demo downloads, a bunch of new wishlists and soooo much feedback from players old and new which was really helpful and incredibly humbling.
It was amazing to talk to you all as part of the AMA on Discord and its something I am now very much considering doing again as we get closer to launch. So a MASSIVE thank you to everyone who helped make the festival a success.
Creature Comforts
I’ve been putting a focus on bringing the world of Omno to life, and this means lots of new plants and, more importantly, creatures! I want to save the surprises for when you encounter all these things for the first time in the actual game, but I thought I’d show you one of the little critters I’ve just added this week, as they really make me smile for some reason :)
You can read the full update over on Kickstarter here which includes more news, full HQ version of the above little critters and more.
