Get the latest free content update and enjoy a unique special offer!
Hello, Champions!
As promised, we are committed to expanding the game with a series of free content drops that will enrich your experience, introduce new challenges, and refine the world of Plamen based on your feedback. Today, we are thrilled to unveil Wyrmwood, the first free post-launch update, bringing a brand-new high-level area to explore, along with new enemies, quests, items, and community-driven adjustments. Moreover, Alaloth has been featured on Steam as a Daily Deal! This is a huge achievement, and we couldn't be more thrilled. During Early Access, we had a lower price point and ran a few major discounts to bring in new players. Now that 1.0 is out, things will be different, and this Daily Deal is likely to be the biggest discount of 2025, making it something you definitely don’t want to miss! But let's move back to the update!
WHAT'S NEW IN WYRMWOOD
The free update introduces new areas, mobs, NPCs, quests, and lore. The centerpiece of this content drop is Drakvalen, a savage island unreachable by sea, protected by the Talons and Dragonhold with the support of Edherest. Drakvalen is home to a young dragon, Bemith, and it is widely believed that she could spawn a dangerously powerful brood, which is why the area is strictly controlled. Access is only possible through a magical gate created by the mages of Valestrum, guarded by the Talons themselves, and entry is restricted without the explicit permission of Overlord Daskar.
From this outpost, the Talons defend the untamed lands of Drakvalen, ever vigilant against the darkness that threatens.
Within Drakvalen, the Talons have established an outpost known as Talonroost, where their troops gather and patrol the island, constantly scouting for signs of Bemith’s activity. However, the greatest threat in Drakvalen is the Sythraaks, draconic-like humanoids who revere Bemith as a goddess and protect her fiercely. Slaying Bemith will be no easy task. Also, a new location has been added to the continent: Grivnok Hollow, a secret camp where Vrax, the leader of the Brak’Shak clan, organizes his forces. This location serves as the setting for a new boss fight, where players can aid the Watchers in Valestrum in confronting the Brak’Shak threat.
Wyrmwood stands as a bridge between two worlds, guarded by the forces of Talons and Edherest
Alongside these additions, new quests, items, and weapons have been introduced, along with various quality-of-life improvements and minor fixes based on community feedback. Wyrmwood is just the beginning of our post-launch journey, and we can’t wait for you to explore these new challenges.
POLISH AND TURKISH LANGUAGES ADDED
New languages were originally planned for later this year, but we thought it would be cool to speed things up, so here we are! Polish and Turkish have been added, and we're already in touch with both communities to refine these translations and make them official as soon as possible. Next step: Chinese, Russian, and Japanese!
New languages are now available! We’re actively monitoring feedback to address any issues
WHAT'S NEXT FOR ALALOTH
As already mentioned, we are actively working on additional free updates, and a new roadmap will be shared as soon as new languages and the first free feature update are released. In addition, we are also putting things together for the first major DLC, which will further expand the world of Alaloth with even more content and challenges. So far, we are brainstorming about introducing new modes and possibly new difficulty settings, as many of you have requested, as well as new ways to progress once reaching the level cap: potentially a prestige class system or something similar.
The team is finally expanding to move forward with Alaloth and ensure its continued growth. Our goal is to push the game towards a Very Positive rating on Steam, and once again, we encourage you to consider dropping a review if you enjoy the game. Your support means everything to us, as we rely solely on organic numbers: no marketing budget, no big publisher clout. Every review helps immensely!
Stay legendary, share the love!

Hello Champions!
First and foremost, Happy New Year! We hope you had a wonderful holiday season. After a short break, we're back and ready to embark on a fresh chapter. This year is a bit of a restart for the team, as we bid farewell to a couple of longtime members and welcome some new faces. To those leaving, we send our heartfelt thanks and best wishes for the future. To those joining us, welcome aboard! We’re still a small, dedicated team, and there’s a ton on our plate, but we’re ready for the challenge. Before diving into our plans for 2025, that's something to say about the release.
As you all know, our 1.0 launch didn’t go exactly as planned. Initially set for the end of October, we had to postpone by a month to address some last-minute issues [on Steam side]. It was a hectic period, but we made it through. Launching as an indie team with a shoestring marketing budget, we relied heavily on organic growth, press, and support from our community. We didn’t have major streamers or even our own live streams during launch, but that’s the reality of being a small team. Still, we’re proud of what we achieved. Around 20k players joined us on launch day on Twitch, and we saw incredibly strong performance on GOG, thanks to their fantastic marketing support and a prominent homepage feature. While sales numbers were slightly below our expectations, they were strong enough to keep us moving forward. From the very beginning, we knew this would be a marathon, not a sprint, and now, we’re gearing up for the next big steps with our 2025 roadmap. We’ve got an exciting year ahead with a mix of free content updates, lore expansions, and unique collectibles. Here’s what you can expect!
WYRMWOOD AND OTHER FREE CONTENT UPDATES
The first major free update of the year, Wyrmwood, introduces a new area steeped in mystery and danger. The enchanted forest of Wyrmwood serves as the gateway to Vorrak'Tol, a savage island whose name means "Land of Fire and Claws" in the orcish tongue. Vorrak'Tol is an uncharted territory under the watchful eyes of the Talons, as its turbulent waters render it inaccessible by conventional means. The island is home to a massive dragon and a ferocious race of dragonkind that pose a grave threat to anyone daring to set foot on its shores. This update also brings a new boss area to the continent, where the Brak'Shak clan leader, Vrax, rallies his forces to threaten the southern lands.
Wyrmwood is just the beginning, be ready to see many new areas popping-up on the world map. New kingdoms? Who knows...
After the release of Wyrmwood, we’re excited to announce that Polish and Turkish localizations will be added to the game, following our ongoing work on tools and official localization that began in late 2024. This is just the beginning, our next steps will focus on Russian and Chinese localization, which will require a significant amount of work, but we're committed to expanding the reach of Alaloth. Additionally, we’re introducing a brand-new samurai-inspired weapon and armor set, perfect for those who love to wield the blade. Get ready to take on your enemies with a powerful Nodachi and slice through them in epic fashion!
All of this and more will be coming your way starting in February, stay tuned for more updates!
THE TALES AND THE TEMPEST
We’re thrilled to share more about Alaloth: Tales, a series of books delving into the rich lore of Plamen. The first four titles, Black Sun, Tears of Heresy, The Dragon Bane, and Seas of Sand, explore the lives of legendary characters such as Volkar, Tornir, Vanril, and Dojhmarin. These stories unravel the histories of the great houses and clans, the epic battles, and the myths shaping the world of Alaloth. Whether you’ve met these characters in your adventures or simply heard their names whispered in tales, the series offers an immersive journey into the heart of Plamen’s past. The books will be available soon digitally both on Amazon and Steam.
You know how much we care about the world lore and the consistency of the world of Plamen. Tales is just the beginning of a serie of content dedicated to the world of Alaloth
As for The Tempest, our standalone comic book introducing the world of Plamen is already available in both digital and physical formats. We’ve recently reclaimed the publishing rights and have begun translating the volume into EFIGS, with additional languages to follow. Soon, the physical edition will be hitting bookstores worldwide, allowing even more fans to discover the vibrant lore of Plamen. Details to follow.
CHANTS OF HEROES
Finally, we’re thrilled to announce Alaloth; Chants of Heroes, an amazing limited-edition vinyl. With nearly five hours of in-house music created for Alaloth, this exclusive vinyl includes a selection of the best tracks from our OST, carefully curated for real collectors. We’ve partnered with Southbound Press to make this happen, and preorders are already live on their website, with worldwide shipping available.
Collectors beware, be fast to reserve your numbered copy of Chants of Heroes. Only 500 available at launch!
WORKING ON THE FIRST MASSIVE DLC, CONSOLES ON THEIR WAY IN 2025
On top of all the exciting things already mentioned, we’re putting things together to announce the very first DLC for Alaloth. While we’re eager to share more, we’ve decided to hold off on the announcement for now because we’re still weighing our options on the best approach. We’re considering whether to release a massive DLC or divide it into a couple of smaller updates [but still huge], each with a lower price point. We’d love to hear your thoughts on this! This decision is also directly tied to the upcoming console version of the game, which is in the works and set for release later this year. So, for now, just sit back, enjoy the free updates, and stay tuned for more details as we continue to shape the future of Alaloth.
As usual, thanks for the support and share the love!
New languages added, official translations in progress!
Hello, Champions!
Today, we want to share some exciting news and updates about localization for Alaloth: Champions of The Four Kingdoms. First and foremost, we want to emphasize something important: throughout Early Access, and since the very beginning, we’ve always delivered on what we’ve promised, often exceeding expectations. From bigger updates to more refined features, we’ve consistently aimed to go beyond what was initially planned. With 1.0 launch, we've received a lot of messages about supposed promises we never made regarding localization, which, for a moment, almost made us drop everything, because health comes first. Back in time, we announced that with version 1.1 we would have supported three official languages. No more. That is to be crystal clear
However, we also recognized that waiting for full localization might be challenging for players eager to experience the game. That’s why we started taking interim steps to help everyone enjoy the game while we work on both official and community-driven translations. Localization has been one of the most requested features from our community, and we’ve worked hard to explore ways to make it a reality.
To make this possible, we’ve integrated DeepL, a machine translation tool, as a starting point for localization efforts used by many indie studios all around the world. This approach serves two purposes: it allows players to begin exploring Plamen in their own language while also paving the way for both professional and community-based translation efforts. Over the past few months, we’ve reworked our tools, restructured data, and made changes in Unity to enable this process. These adjustments weren’t easy, but they were necessary to create a solid foundation for localization. Looking ahead, our use of this tool, will continue to bridge the gap while we roll out official localizations and enable community-based efforts. While machine translations are helpful, we want to be upfront about their limitations. They cannot fully replicate the depth, immersion, and atmosphere we’ve worked so hard to create. However, they serve as an excellent foundation for community groups to refine and build upon.
Italian is the first language officially supported by the game. It was expected to be released with 1.1 but thanks to Language Pack Italia, we have been able to release it right now!
To facilitate community-based translations, we’ll provide tools all the necessary tools, so players can create and share their own translation add-ons. We’re also seeking volunteer coordinators for each language to lead these efforts. Coordinators will work with us on the beta branch and play a vital role in organizing teams, reviewing translations, and building glossaries to improve accuracy.
Given all of this, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, German, and French are now available in the latest build! In addition, we are happy to announce that Italian translation has been completed and it is available as well as the first official one. The Italian localization was made possible thanks to the incredible work of Language Pack Italia, a team of skilled professionals, including AxeeGaza, FreeMont Dataris, and Tutankamon, who have worked on titles like Pathfinder, Throne and Liberty, and SpellForce. We’re thrilled to have their expertise elevate Alaloth for Italian-speaking players. The guys are hanging out on Discord [check #italiano] to get your feedback and tweak things as we go. If you spot anything that feels off or have suggestions to make the translations better, drop by and let them know. We've even set up channels for different languages, so you can chat in your preferred one!
We're adding Polish and Turkish soon, while working on Chinese and Russian. Even our ML tool needs a bit of rework to handle special characters!"
For those interested in customizing their experience, we've created a how-to guide for modifying localization files locally. This way, we can work together and even help turn fan-made translations into official ones, just like we did with the Italian localization.
We are incredibly proud of the progress we’ve made and excited about what lies ahead. Localization is a huge undertaking, but thanks to the support of both professionals and our passionate community, we’re confident we can make Alaloth accessible to even more players around the world. We’re entering slow mode for Christmas, taking a short break while working on minor tweaks over the holidays. The team will be available for urgent fixes, of course. In the meantime, we’ve taken the chance to tweak the game following your feedback since release, with this update.
From enemy AI to weapon balancing, economy adjustments, and performance improvements, we’ve made several changes. Check the changelog for details! We’ll also share our 2025 roadmap by year’s end, with the first new content arriving in February. New updates and content will continue to be added as usual, while official communication about the upcoming DLC will arrive soon.
Happy Christmas!

Fixed issue with some abilities’ magic projectiles not receiving damage buff/malus active on the caster.
Fixed Critical Chance, Critical Damage bonus not showing up in character recap screen.

The wait is over! The biggest Indie RPG awaits you!
Hello Champions!
We’re excited to announce that Alaloth 1.0 is out now on Steam! It’s been an incredible journey, and we couldn’t have done it without your support. While we’re crazy busy with the launch, we’ll be available nonstop over the next 48 hours to check in on the game and see how everyone is experiencing it.
Stay tuned for a detailed post-launch roadmap for 2025, where we’ll reveal details of what's coming up next! We’ll also introduce a plethora of free content, including localization support for multiple languages arriving with update 1.1.
We did it!
As always, we’re committed to supporting the game fully with regular updates, fixing any issues at lightning speed and listening to your feedback for future improvements. Expect new modes, mobs, quests, NPCs, and so much more! For now, let’s focus on the release and celebrate this milestone together! Your support, feedback, and passion have shaped the game into what it is today. Whether you’ve been with us since day one or just joined the adventure, we are endlessly grateful. Thank you for believing in us, in Alaloth, for sharing your thoughts, and for championing our vision.
The world of Plamen still holds many stories to tell, and we’re excited to continue expanding and improving the game with your input.
Let’s cut straight to the chase. You probably saw that emotional post already, so I won’t repeat myself here. But let’s be honest, nothing’s changed in terms of feelings. If anything, these last three extra weeks have cranked things up even more.
You see, we thought we’d be wrapping things up, basking in the glow of a job well done. Instead, we were hit with a curveball, a problem we couldn’t even fix ourselves. Classic, right? So, once again, we had to pivot, rework, and improvise a whole bunch of plans that we had poured sweat and tears into. But, hey, silver linings. These three weeks gave us the clarity we needed to refine everything and get ready for a launch that is now, drumroll, literally one click away. Seriously, I just have to push a button.
Can't wait!
Of course, because the universe loves a bit of drama, I got hit with a fever from hell over the last couple of days. But, guess what? Here we are, as always, ready to roll. And like the big fancy studios, I've even made a worldwide launch times graphic! Plamen is ready to welcome all RPG lovers, with a little extra love for the veterans (you know who you are!) while giving a nod to the younger crowd who live for DPS stats, builds, and kill counts! As soon as 1.0 drops, we’ll be sharing more details about our post-launch plans for 2025. We’re excited to give you a glimpse into what’s coming next, including more updates, content drops, and everything else we’ve got planned for the future! Keep an eye out!
