Itās time to get back into the arena and focus on your Season progression through all the available game modes with a new Double XP Event! It'll be your best and final chance to grab all levelling rewards from Season 0 before they disappear at the start of Season 1.
šļø Friday 6th May (13:00 UTC) - Monday 9th May (13:00 UTC)
The rules are pretty simple: all the experience you will gain at the end of your matches will count as double. This x2 ratio applies to your final count of XP on the summary screen visible at the end of your matches.
This also means all the XP Boosters you activate during this period will activate at the same rate on your scores, but grant you double the experience.
Keep your riding skills sharp and see you soon in the arena!
Crimson Spoils Event
Folktales speak of Dragons who've roamed the lands far and wide for centuries. Some stayed true to their bloodthirsty line and terrorised populations, whilst others lived in harmony with nature and preserved the essence of life. But all stories have in common one thing: all dragons hoard gold. And we riders have found a way to make the best of it.
When does Crimson Spoils starts/ends? The event runs from Friday 8th April 13:00 UTC, and ends Monday 18th April 13:00 UTC.
What's the objective in Crimson Spoils? Gather as much gold as you can in our signature game mode Spoils of War. Simple as that!
What loot do I get?
Daily Reward: each day at 00:00 UTC, gold collected is automatically transformed into Gems (up to 100 Gems/day). You can earn up to 1,100 Gems total through the course of the event.
Returner Reward: complete your gold objective for at least 6 days (non consecutive) to be rewarded with a Legendary background.
Competitive Reward: Secure a spot in the Top 100 / 500 / 1000 gold hoarders to earn yourself a set of rewards, the higher tier the better!
Choose your strategy wisely and let your draconic urges take over to maximize your gains, dragoneer.
Arena Changes, Elimination Mode, QoL Change
šļø Arena Changes As promised, weāre pleased to confirm the comeback of Gates of Fire mode in the Arena slot. To content all Dragoneers, Skirmish mode also joins GoF and Survival. We want to make sure players find their favorite game mode while ensuring we keep the best matchmaking experience possible. Therefore, we have implemented a threefold rotation, following the below pattern:
Monday, Thursday, Saturday: Gates of Fire
Tuesday, Friday : Skirmish
Wednesday, Sunday : Survival
As an important reminder, this approach is temporary. Weāre aiming to fully bring back all three modes 24/7 further down the road.
šÆ Experimental: Elimination
As some of you have experienced already, weāll be bringing back the Experimental slot to test out a new approach to our existing game modes in the coming days.
This new game mode called āEliminationā, will be available for an entire week-end, replacing the Arena slot. The exact launch/end times will be confirmed at a later date. Obviously, you will have to not be a rookie anymore to play this mode, as the Experimental slot only appears to players at lvl 5 and higher. The Arena slot will return to its usual place following Monday as we gather your feedback on Elimination mode.
The Elimination mode will be based on a Carnage 3v3 setup with additional rules:
āBest of 7ā: winning team is the first with 4 victorious rounds
Death is permanent: the last team standing wins the round
Communication, focus and strategy will be crucial for you to eliminate your enemies. Soā¦ let there be Carnage!!!
āØ Quality of Life Following our observations regarding game mode selection across the game, the behavior of the āQuickplayā button on the Lobby will be switched from auto-joining an Unranked match to the Play section - thus allowing everyone to select their preferred game mode.
We hope this slight change will direct more players to the Arena slot (Survival / Gates of Fire / Skirmish) and will be monitoring player counts and your feedback to continue improving your experience of Century.
As always, thanks for your devotion. We canāt wait to see you reduce your enemies into ashes in Elimination!
Century: Age of Ashes - Roadmap H1 2022
The Last Team Standing Event is live: survive against two other teams in a special Survival game mode and rise to the top to earn a double-loaded heap of treasures!
Jump in the new Survival game mode against not one but two other teams of 4 players, protect your teammates and slay your enemies to make sure only your squad remains.

The Last Team Standing event will last until Thursday 17th February 7:59 PST / 16:59 CET, so make sure to take flight now lest you want the prizes to fly you by!
Additionally, we know many of you have requested more information about future updates weāre working on. So hereās a quick look at what we have in stock for the coming weeks and months.
February 2022 - Voice Chat, Matchmaking, Balancing, Monetization, New Platforms, etc
Also coming in February will be a Voice Chat, allowing teammates to communicate with one another over the course of a match. This has been a much-requested addition, and weāre happy to announce that community feedback has helped a lot in designing this upcoming feature.
Live events will then come in a bi-weekly frequency (and we have another surprise on the way regarding community events) so you can be sure thereāll always be something to do in Century: Age of Ashes!
Players among us who might not be the fondest of blowing some Steam and prefer to ride Epic style will be happy to know Century will release on the Epic Games Store later this February.
And as promised, our teams will also continue their ongoing work with improving our matchmaking (e.g. testing out a prototype system), balancing the game, and improving the Shop. As always, your feedback is essential to guide the game in the right direction - so be sure to let us know what you think of each and every update we share!
Starting Spring 2022 - Season 1, New Class, New Map, Fortress Mode, Xbox Series
Spring 2022 will be the season for high-stakes confrontations with the start of our competitive Season 1. With it comes the fourth rider/dragon class in Century: Age of Ashes, an original Map thatāll take combat to new skies, and a DragonPass - our very own take on the progression-based reward system thatāll take the very best from whatās out there, plus some fiery twists.
Spring will also be marked with the addition of an earth-shattering game mode. This bound-to-be signature experience will be focusing on setting ablaze the battlefield with your teammates to capture and secure zones in a spectacular fortress. Core gameplay will also receive significant updates, opening new and exciting opportunities for players to interact with their environment. The combat system will continue to evolve with key additions, more balances and functionalities - including custom matches. In addition, we will take the dragon-riding experience to Xbox Series S/X, followed a bit later by the PlayStation 4/5 - with the aim of having a full cross-play functionality. These two launches will expand the horizon of Century to new ways of play and weāll be sure to celebrate with special events and exclusive rewards. So be sure to join the fray!

Speaking of game mode, as part of ongoing optimisations to matchmaking, Gates of Fire will have to be temporarily disabled from this week on. The Skirmish mode box will also be taken down to prevent confusion whilst the mode is inactive.
