| Ankama Show Time – 7 p.m. on December 17! | 2025-12-10 | Last year ushered in a new era when the KrosmoNote made way for Ankama Show Time! That formula is back with a simple promise – short but intense.In a hurry? So are we!Nothing before or after – just the essentials. Time is XP, after all! We've therefore opted for a dense, fast-paced format of about 45 minutes to give you an overview of what to expect in 2026.Whether you're a fan of DOFUS, WAKFU, DOFUS Retro, DOFUS Touch, WAVEN, or our publishing and animation projects, don't be late! This show will kick off an anniversary year designed as a veritable journey through our different universes.A whole series of events to celebrate Ankama's 25th a |
| Community Update #2 | 2025-08-05 | After two long months without any tasty news to share, somewhat depriving you of clarity about progress on things we've been struggling with, we're finally coming up for some air…You know that moment when you want to tidy up a room… and you end up emptying everything onto the floor before you even get started? That's more or less what we did with WAVEN. The clock was ticking, and behind the scenes, we simplified, redesigned, trimmed, reimagined, and sometimes even daydreamed… Between two heated meetings and a number of admittedly heavy game design documents, we pulled ourselves together, keeping one clear idea in mind: How can we make WAVEN |

| FAQ – Progress Reset | 2025-05-27 | A new era is about to dawn for WAVEN and with it, there will be a major progress reset. Before that happens, we're explaining everything simply and openly. WHY A RESET? With the arrival of major changes in the game, this reset is needed to ensure a healthier and more balanced experience that is better prepared to welcome the upcoming new content and features. WAVEN's overall balance is going to undergo a structural change, and it is therefore crucial that accounts be wiped clean. Don't worry! Everything you've acquired that has lasting value will be kept or refunded. WHAT WILL BE RESET The reset concerns, above all, everything related to your |
| AnkamaLive: WAVEN in 2025 (recap) | 2025-04-16 | Did you miss the latest Ankama Live on WAVEN's future? This article summarizes the big announcements and major changes to come in the game. The game has not been abandoned in the slightest. WAVEN is an adventure that we dreamed of, designed, and built with passion. A license in which we deeply believe. We love it. It is a game that we want to be a worthy heir of everything that DOFUS and WAKFU are and have been for millions of players. We've carried this project for a long time and we still believe in it with conviction, even though recently the wind has been blowing much less in its sails… When the early access launched, the momentum was thu |

| AnkamaLive: See You on April 4th | 2025-03-20 | Behind every game is a story. Not just the story the game tells players, but also the story of what we experience while building the game… and WAVEN's story is not a tranquil, flowing river. We move ahead, we explore, we try things. Sometimes, we think we've got a great idea so we pursue it, it fits in with the rest… and then, too late, we realize that it causes a lot of problems. So we feel around, hesitate, test, wonder "Do we just own it and try to make it work?" but ultimately… no. We throw it all out. We try to understand what went wrong to avoid making the same mistake again. We get some perspective, we re-think our decisions, we start |

| Special Season – Savara | 2025-03-11 | Hit fast, hit hard and… above all, don't stop. Iop has picked his chosen one – and, honestly, she packs a punch. Until April 8, play as Savara, determined to prove she's the greatest warrior in the World of Twelve! How? Easy! Wallop anything that moves. And if it doesn't move?

| WAKFU: Season 5 – Kickstarter | 2025-02-12 | A fate thought to be sealed, a story that awakens… After years of conflict, newly forged legends and shared emotions, the The Brotherhood of the Tofu believed its final chapter had been written, its story ending with the defeat of the Necros. We thought so too. But in the shadows, an unexpected event came to pass. A mysterious character resurfaced, caught between two worlds, trapped in ice and engrossed with his thoughts: Count Harebourg. It was thought he was had been lost during the fall of Oropo's Dimension, but he escaped the clutches of death. The Eliacube had decided otherwise. Freed and exalted by immense powers, his designs are far fr |
| Bad Seed Season: Get Out your Thorns and Push Back the Invaders. | 2025-02-11 | It is the year 1010 and Bwork Island has been deforested. Entirely? No! A small plot of resolute weeds are doggedly resisting the invaders! Until March 11, play as the resistance and push back the assaulting Bworks! When it comes to colonizing land, the Bworks have one rule: mow it all down and ransack everything. They assumed they could plant their banners and move into their cottages, but they overlooked one (tiny) detail… the Weeds. And these ones can't be uprooted with a flick of the wrist. No, they can't. They're tenacious, vengeful and ready to… fight. Wha's worse is that the Bworks seem to have forgotten that thorns and brambles are hi |

| The Scalies are inviting you to discover the abysses this season | 2025-01-14 | Joe Searchall's been sniffing around again! Seeking vestiges of the world before, he's gone even deeper into the abyss. But this time, it isn't looking good for him because every search has its price and the locals intend to make that perfectly clear. Until February 11, dive deep into the ocean depths and hold your breath – tightly because the ocean might never give it back… For old Joe, anything that shines at the bottom of the ocean is an irresistible excuse to dive. Shipwrecks? Searched. Treasures? Brought to the surface. Sea monsters? "Landlubber nonsense!" If it shines, then it's worth its weight in kamas, and no fish will convince him o |

| It's a rat's life – rejection, corruption and sneaky tricks! | 2024-12-17 | It is Dr. Vik Taurenstein's sly pleasure to invite you to his modest laboratory, which was recently "relocated" to the Time Portal for a "highly scientific and absolutely not insane" experiment, as he described it. His invitation is only good until December 17 so don't miss it! "I told you so!" he yelled to anyone who would – sadly for them – listen. Vik Taurenstein, the excentric scientist from the island nation of Brakmar, has been conducting rather dubious experiments ever since the Great Wave. Ignoring all the rules of ethics established by the Circle – the clan to which scientists in the World of Twelve belong – he was, unsurprisingly, k |
