The upcoming March Nova Cup takes place March 25 - 26.

$875 in prizes and sign-up is free - first come first served!
There are up to five skill divisions, so no matter what your rating is, you have a chance to win.
Participation prize: Every participant who plays all of their matches will receive a FREE random card. If you haven't played a tournament yet, this is a great time to join.



When you watch Nova Cups on the official channel, aside from enjoying shoutcasted top-tier Legion gameplay, you'll also receive in-game rewards based on how long you watch!

Watch the official Legion TD 2 Twitch stream during a Nova Cup to earn the following rewards:
- Watch for 60 minutes: 2,000 essence
- Watch for an additional 90 minutes: 4,000 additional essence
- Watch for an additional 120 minutes: Random card

In other words, if you watch the Nova Cup both days, you'll earn 6,000 total essence and a random card!

IMPORTANT: You'll need to link your Twitch account to your Legion TD 2 account in order to earn the rewards.
Link Your Twitch Account

Note:
- Please note that the starting times will change from 6 pm CET to 7 pm CEST during the weekend due to the switch to summer time
- We might add a fifth division if there's enough demand to make matchups more fair.

• Sign-ups are open from NOW until March 25 at 9am PST / 6pm CET.
  
• To sign up, find a teammate and form a party. After you're both in the party, have one player type "/signup [team name]" (e.g. /signup Snail Kings) in chat. You should see a confirmation message that your sign-up went through. For those who participated in previous Nova Cups, you no longer need to do /join to signup.
  
• The first 16 teams to sign up in each division can participate. Other teams are waitlisted. There are usually no-shows, so waitlisted teams are encouraged to be present in the Discord and ready to play. {LINK REMOVED}View the team list to see your sign-up position and division.
  
• If there are more than 32 teams checked in, there will be an additional best-of-1 qualifying round to allow more teams to participate. It is a best-of-1, rather than a best-of-3, to keep the event from running overly long.
  
• Both players must join the Legion TD 2 Official Tournament Discord. Make sure to set your server nickname to match your in-game name.

Like last month, you may now sign up as a solo player!

• You may sign-up as a solo with a suggested team name using the "/signup [team name]" command. Solo teams will be added to the Public Teams list, then be formed into teams on the day of the tournament. Solo teams will be randomly assigned a team name from either of its members.
  
• If there is a waitlist, team sign-ups will always take priority over solo sign-ups
  
• If you sign up as a solo, but then you find a teammate, you can re-sign up as a team any time before check-ins start. Just use the /signup command again with the new teammate. The tournament organizer will void your old solo signup after they process your new team signup.
  
• After check-ins are over, all checked-in solo players will be randomly formed into teams by the tournament organizer. You cannot request a specific teammate at this point; if you want to play with a specific person, you should have signed up as a team instead.

It is still strongly recommended to sign-up as a team to guarantee your spot in the tournament and to give you time to practice with your teammate beforehand.

Apologies for the late patch notes, this update went live on Mar. 12 but I've been pretty scattered lately with a lot of exciting things in the works and I pushed it off longer than I should've 😅

First things first, we'll have an updated Peglin trailer airing in The MIX Online showcase today at 10am PST! Catch a glimpse of some of the new content in action and see the name & release date for our next major update! (The MIX will have a ton of other awesome indie games showcased as well, it's definitely worth checking out!)


The MIX Direct Spring Showcase

There's also an in-person component to the showcase in San Francisco on Monday, come say hi if you're around! (And thanks to everyone that came by to say hi at ECCC earlier this month, it's always great to get a chance to chat with you!)


This is another mostly-bugfix release with just a little bit of new content, but I promise we've got our noses to the grindstone and have some really fun stuff in the works :)

• New Rare Relic: Branch of Ember - When adding brambles to enemies, also apply 2 blind. When adding blind to an un-brambled enemy, also apply 1 bramble.
  
• Shiny new options menu!
  
• Post-battle healing display changed to only display how much health it will actually heal you for.
  
• When adding an orb post-battle, if the Perfect Forge reduces your health from maximum the heal option should now properly display.
  
• Forge Scenario should no longer error out when you have no more orbs left to upgrade.
  
• Visual improvements made to reduce flickering with the shot prediction line, especially with Unicorn Horn active.
  
• Slime on moving pegs should no longer display above the bottom bouncers when peg moves behind them.
  
• Several misc keyboard/controller UI navigation fixes.

"LoveTalks" has been translated into English, but there may be grammatical and spelling errors. If you find any, please don't hesitate to let me know so I can correct them.

Because we have run into an issue that prevents you from saving this data without causing issues, and we're working on a proper fix. In the meantime we didn't want to let everyone wait any longer for all this content because of 1 bug, so we will be resolving this issue next week in another patch (0.9.1).





Thank you all for waiting for this update! We will continue to update the game within the next weeks.

So be sure to check back here for more information soon.

Thanks as always for supporting the game!

Ahoy Ylanders,

Some of you may have noticed that we celebrated International Women's Day last week.

This year we decided to give thanks to all the incredible women who are part of the Ylands team. You can watch it here:

Now let's talk about #womeningaming. We are grateful to have so many ladies on our team, as it is still not quite common. And it can be pretty scary to join an industry where you don't see that much representation.

As a little girl, I thought I wanted to be so many things. A lawyer, a famous pianist, a famous painter, or a teacher. Yet I also always imagined making video games as something that I would love to do. And I was right. Being part of the process of creating video games is one of the biggest joys of my life. Having a sketch you made become a real thing in the game that people can enjoy, helping someone who has a problem and making their day better, or planning future assets based on what our players want, all of these things are something I dreamed of doing. Taking something that brings me so much happiness (video games) and dedicating 8+ hours a day to making it better for other people is something that is incredibly important to me. I know we are not doctors, lawyers, or firemen. But I swear that there were moments when video games saved my life. When someone told a story and connected with me on such a level that I felt heard, understood, and less alone. The feeling of being able to give this back to the world, well it is quite something. Thank you to all players who give us a reason to do this, you're amazing.

I always thought that you have to know programming or 3D art to become part of the game-making process. I never thought it would be a real possibility for me to work in the game industry. And I think a big part of that was not seeing many women who would tell me that there is a place for me as well. However, that is not true at all! Not only you can start at a position where you learn different skills you can also play to your strengths and go for 2D graphic design or like me put your people skills to the test. ːsteamhappyː This industry has a place for everyone, you just need to find out what you are good at. I hope one day we will see more women joining our industry. And I want to thank all the ladies on our team for being an inspiration to me and other girls who might want to join the game development process one day.



Now let's hear from them!

"I have been playing games since childhood and they have always been one of my biggest passions. And the best way to be closer to passion and never let it fade away is to be a part of it."

- Claire, Designer

"I always wanted people to react to my job with "Wow! That's cool!". Jokes aside, loving your job is not a common occurrence and I wanted to love what I do. And I love video games with all my heart."

- Nikki, Brand Manager


So thank you again, ladies, thank you our players for giving us this opportunity, and thank you Ylands team and Bohemia Interactive for having us.
Stay Classy!

- Anna, Community Manager
