- Playtest recap and upcoming improvements. - 15 May 2026
Thank you to everyone who took part in the Stones Keeper II: Chaos Lord playtests! We’ve gone through your feedback and picked out several changes that we’ll be making before release. Changes based on playtest feedback: - Automatic turn ending has been disabled. Players now have full control over when to end their turn. This should help avoid situations where the turn ended unexpectedly or caused confusion. - The leveling system has been updated. Unlocked abilities now have their own dedicated slot. This makes it easier to see when a new ability becomes available, and also helps separate abilities from talents visually. - The buttons in the leveling window have been adjusted. The “Accept” button has been renamed to “OK”, while the “Cancel” button is now hidden until the player takes an action in that window. For example, if you level up a character, the cancel button will appear and all…

- A little bit about the equipment in Stones Keeper II - 30 September 2024
Hi! We are currently testing the campaign of the new chapter of the story, so let me tell you some details about it. Firstly, let's talk about equipment. The items are divided into three categories: normal, improved, and heroic. Considering that heroic requires a significant amount of gems, it will definitely have a positive impact on the game's economy (the market with the purchase and sale of resources will come in handy). Lore states that these items have additional properties, which is why these gems are necessary. As an example, the griffin armor will make griffin able to fly farther, while the spider mask will increase the radius within which spider can burrow. The campaign will require you to recruit the vampire Count Valentine. Using his heroic scythe, you can restore your own health upon successfull attacks. Aside from the main armament, there are other items as well. The alche…
- Stones Keeper II: The Chaos Lord announcement. - 26 July 2024

The sequel offers both the well-known game mechanics from the original game and a variety of new features. Take a look at the trailer to find out more about the new chapter of the story before we dig into the details. You probably still have questions. Below we will do our best to shed some light on to all the new features and explain them in detail. Who is the Chaos Lord? Firstly, we want to point out that chaos is not something you have to fight, you are its very essence. Thus the Lord of Chaos is the main character, for whom you will have to lead the army of the undead. Nevertheless, not everything is so obvious, no one forbids you to do good deeds, playing the role of the real evil.... We would like to limit the amount of plot details to avoid…
