- Next Update: Open Alpha - 28 May 2024
We know you're excited about the next update, and we truly appreciate your patience. While it's still in development, we don't want to keep you waiting any longer. To give you a sneak peek, we're opening access to the alpha for everyone. Alpha Version Access First and foremost, we want to show our current progress to those who are concerned about the future of the Frozen Flame. In the alpha version, you can explore the foundation of the new biome. New portal and biome (no quests or activities yet) New monsters New armor Updated combat system Reworked ability tree Flying adjustments Keep in mind that it's still missing balance, optimization, and localization. We've already conducted closed testing and are now actively working on the beta version, which will include quests, rebalancing, and all core activities. How to switch to the Alpha branch To switch into the Alpha branch you need to…

As players continue to engage with the game and express concern about its future, we aim to clarify a current stage of development. Next Update Since the last update, our dedicated team of enthusiasts has been developing the game despite the challenging times. Finally, we plan to begin beta testing for the next major update this spring. The exact date will be announced on Discord at least a week prior to the event.

- Dev Diary #4 - 11 September 2023
Autumn has already arrived and many of you have been eagerly awaiting the next updates, so it's time to tell you what we're working on right now. Cursed Lands First and foremost, we’re working on the next large biome and the continuation of the campaign. Traveling among flying islands has brought a lot of new sensations, but many people miss large locations like the Cradle of the Keepers. The Cursed Lands will fill in. We have to warn you. Pilgrim should not expect a warm welcome, especially if you come unprepared - The Cursed Land is one of the final locations before the Frozen Citadel, and it will put ones’ skills to the test. We should preemptively warn you that you won't be able to fly here. You will need to explore the surrounding area on foot and exerсise caution. It's not just about poisoned clouds and contaminated waters here… Flora and Fauna Those who have participated in the v…

- Dev Diary #3: Future plans - 15 June 2023
It has been just over a month since the last major update, and we want to share with you what is happening inside the studio, as well as to tell you about our future plans. How was Early Access? Before the release in Early Access, the game was in development for over 5 years. Initially, it was developed by a small indie team, which eventually expanded up to 20 people. After the release in Early Access, the pace of work was frenzied, and we literally didn't sleep to deliver everything we promised during the long project lifetime. This was justified on the one hand, but on the other hand, the tight deadlines resulted in errors that many of you have experienced. The most unpleasant ones were wiping all servers and periodic players’ house breaking. We apologize for those again. We are taking all possible measures to prevent such problems in the future. Although the overall reviews of the ga…

- Dev Diary #2: What Future Brings - 29 March 2023
We continue on our way towards the bigger update, having received plentiful positive feedback and suggestions based on the Closed Alpha Test. And now we’d like to share more information about the occurred changes. First, we decided to relocate the entirety of the starting location into the water and turn it into a sort of a continent. And it seems like sooner or later we’ll have to implement fully fleshed-out fishing into the game.. Floating islands will keep on spawning at different locations for each server, while the ability to fly will now be reserved for high-level players. We’ve also received a lot of requests to make the Survival mode compatible with coop experience. So, we’ve adjusted the mode’s focus from Orders and PvP to survival and exploration. You’ll be able to protect your buildings with a special module - a sentinel. For those who either don’t want to participate in PvP,…

- The Closed Alpha and future plans - 28 February 2023
Greetings, Pilgrims! We have exciting news to share with you regarding our game's development! As you may have seen, we recently published an updated roadmap that includes plans for the release of the survival mode this spring. However, before we can launch such a vast game mode, we need to conduct thorough testing. Therefore, we will be conducting two tests before the survival mode. The first test will be a closed alpha test, which is scheduled to begin on March 9th. Participants in this alpha test will be a selected group of players, our game veterans. We will also be hosting a building contest just before the start of the test, and the top builders will be given access to the closed alpha. We believe that those who have invested a lot of time and effort into the game should be the first to experience the new game mode. Following the alpha test, we will conduct a beta test that will b…

Dear Pilgrims, It's been three exciting months since Frozen Flame hit Early Access, and we've been working hard to make the game even better. Thanks to your valuable feedback, we've made several improvements and releases. We are now happy to announce some exciting changes and future updates.

Players must pick a side and lead their Order to victory by combating rivals, con…
