- From Stolen Realm to Survivors — How We Got Here - 6 May 2026
Hello Adventurers,With Stolen Realm Survivors launching May 7, we wanted to share something more personal with everyone who supported us throughout the years.When we finally released Stolen Realm 1.0 two years ago, the three of us had already spent over five years building it.Before it even had a proper name, we jokingly called it “Final Baldusy” — our mashup of two games we grew up loving: Final Fantasy 7 and Baldur’s Gate 2.We spent countless nights trying to take down the ultra boss Ruby, getting Cloud's hits to land at 9999 damage, kiting enemies across Heart of Fury mode, and accidentally fireballing each other because there was no Evocation specialty back then to save our teammates.Those games shaped how we think about RPGs, co-op, and buildcrafting.Building Stolen Realm Changed Our LivesMaking Stolen Realm wasn’t easy.We spent years balancing jobs, life, and development, hoping e…

- Pick Your Path: Skill Tree Survey - 24 March 2025
Hey adventurers! One of the core ideas behind Stolen Realm has always been freedom—the freedom to build exactly the kind of hero you want to play. We didn’t want to lock you into rigid classes or force you down a single path. That’s why our skill tree system was built from the ground up to let you mix and match across trees, creating wild, unexpected, and sometimes completely broken combinations—and we love it that way. Want a heavy-armor-wearing healer that summons skeletons and throws fireballs? Go for it. A stealth archer who rains lightning from the heavens? Be our guest. The point is: there are no restrictions—just your creativity. Now, we want to hear from you. We’ve put together a short survey to gather your thoughts, ideas, and most importantly—your favorite builds. Whether it’s a combo that melts bosses or a strange synergy that surprised even you, we want to hear all about it.…
