A Brand New Year
18 Jan | 10:00 am

Hey everyone,

With the festive season now firmly behind us, we here at Lost Pilgrims Studio would like to wish all of you a prosperous 2024. We hope that you all feel as recharged and energetic about the new year as we do.

The release of the expansion Sunfire and Moonshadow and its accompanying Season Pass were our main highlights of 2023, yet in 2024, we have even bigger plans. Namely, the release of two DLCs: a companion DLC and a region DLC. Needless to say, if you’ve already bought the Season Pass, you needn’t do anything more than wait – we’re already hard at work on both pieces of content – and we can’t wait to share more information (and teasers, naturally!) about them as we draw closer to their release.

Sunfire and Moonshadow Release Date and Season Pass Announcement
02 Nov | 2:00 pm

Hello everyone,

It’s been quite the year since we started developing Sunfire and Moonshadow, our first expansion. Those of you who’ve been following us know that it is introducing a new vast region to explore with a swathe of new settlements, new enemies to conquer, new stories to be a part of, a large cast of characters, and new quests to complete through which you can make your mark on the continent of Xeryn. That’s not all, however, as the Bronze Desert introduces a central conflict involving three new factions – the Ahari, the Chimera Legion, and the Handjari. The expansion features content approaching half the size of the core game.

Expansion Teaser: The Bronze Desert
26 Oct | 10:00 am

As we approach our expansion’s release, the teasers become more granular – but as today’s post would indicate, more expansive, too. We’re stoked to show off the key art for the Bronze Desert and delve into a few of the details regarding the lands. If you’re interested in what we’ve been working on, or if you’ve simply been following along, then you know full well that the events of the expansion take place in the Bronze Desert, called thus for its orange-hued sands.

Teaser: War in Hakhtarast
12 Oct | 10:00 am

In this week’s post, we’re proud to present you with one of the more perilous locations in the already conflict-ridden Bronze Desert: Hakhtarast. This sullied oasis and the eponymous town in it are home to a colorful cast of characters – Imperial, Handjari, and Bandul live and work inside its confines. War has seen the settlement beset by the Ahari, engulfing it in a series of ongoing skirmishes, murders, and a bid for control of both the oil operations as well as the once-sacred ponds and lakes. Most Bandul scowl at its ruinous nature, eager to admonish the defiling that has so marred its confines but none go as far as the warlike Ahari.

The teasers just keep coming, and with good reason; we are inching closer and closer to the release of Sunfire and Moonshadow, and we’ve no shortage of intriguing points of interest to share with you. This week features one of the Bronze Desert’s more mysterious locales: the Katharaka Hills. Once covered in a lush forest that surrounded the long-lost Elven ruins of Vaelenesthil, the land here succumbed to the destruction wrought by the Calamity, leaving it in a rocky, barren state.

Expansion Teaser: Bandul Character Animations
06 Jul | 10:00 am

The Bandul are desert-dwelling nomads native to the Bronze Desert. They live in so-called "sakrets": a couple of families banded together, herding their animals across the arid wastelands of northern Xeryn, between oases they hold sacred and that are integral parts of their roaming lifestyle. If you choose to venture into the northwestern part of the continent, you are bound to encounter them. Whether they will be on your side or your bitter enemies is up to you and the decisions you make in the upcoming expansion for Vagrus.

Teaser: Phlegetos Bridge by Night
08 Jun | 10:00 am

As we inch closer and closer to the release of our upcoming expansion, teaser season is now in full swing. This week we have one of our favorite locations from the Bronze Desert on display: Phlegetos Bridge. You will also notice that night has fallen, and that two of Xeryn’s moons are out in full force.

As for the location itself, it’s certainly a doozy: under the direct purview of the Legate, Phlegetos Bridge is a staging ground for the Chimera Legion, and it is famous for its local tavern – a seedy hovel located below the Bridge itself where legionnaires, mercenaries, merchants, and all manner of gamblers congregate.
