| Spindle is out now! | 2025-10-13 | Greetings everyone!Our friends from Wobble Ghost have just released their first game and we've played it on the last convention we visited some time ago. And if you are looking for an oldschool (and yet somehow modern) interpretation of the Zelda-Formula (especially the Phantom Hourglass one), you really should take a look at this one. It shares the same idea as Chained Echoes basically. Bringing back was lost among modern games. Give that oldschool feeling, just how you remember games. |

| Ashes of Elrant is OUT NOW! | 2025-08-07 | Greetings Travelers of Valandis,Or... should we say, Travelers of Elrant? The wait is over. Ashes of Elrant, the official DLC for Chained Echoes is out now on Steam. Offering you more of what you fell in love with - all set in a new, uhm, well, how to describe it? Let's call it a new land. You'll soon understand. With the White Wolf you can also find a new companion who'll join your party. A loyal member who... ah, sorry, again, we're touching spoiler territory here.

| Ashes of Elrant will release 7th of August | 2025-06-26 | Dear members of the Crimson Wings!We know, we know. We've said that Ashes of Elrant would release in Q2 when we announced the DLC. Well, Q2 ended already, right? And the DLC isn't here yet. Game development is complicated. And while the DLC itself was ready to release by the end of Q2, translations were not. And we still wanted to give it some proper testing to iron out the last small issues. And we decided to wait till we knew the exact date.And we now have a date. Mark it in your calendars: Ashes of Elrant will release 7th of August on all systems. And yes, the official soundtrack for the DLC will release the very same day. |
| Ashes of Elrant coming Q2 2025 | 2024-12-09 | Valand.... wait. No, no, no! WAIT A SECOND! HAH! Eldrea is calling once again. Eldrea needs you. One. More. Time. Two years ago a journey ended with the release of Chained Echoes. And it was just the start of another journey. Since the last patch for Chained Echoes was released, Mathias has been working on.... Ashes of Elrant, the official story DLC for Chained Echoes. The DLC takes place before the Crimson Wings set out for the final battle and will lead to new areas outside of Valandis! We would love to tell you more about the story, but everything would feel like a big spoiler! https://store.steampowered.com/app/3350260/Chained_Echoes_Ashe |
