Lost Worlds DLC is out now and available as a free update to the main game starting immediately! Check out its trailer.
Lost Worlds adds two playable Skyworlds to the game which our artists and designers have carefully created. Both new Skyworlds are doors to places that are lost to mankind.
Desert World
Reminisce times past and travel back to an era in which Pharaohs still reign in the all-new Desert world.
Volcano World
Brave the perilous ruins of lands scarred by Mother Nature herself in the scorching hot Volcano world.
Masks, masks, masks
No Skyworld update comes without a new set of masks. Customize your avatar and strike terror into the hearts of your enemies with the a range of all-new masks.

Patch 5 Now Live
Hi everyone,
Patch 5 is now live! This is a patch that addresses some minor issues but mostly enriches the Skyworld experience by visually overhauling the game's battle arenas (you know, where you get to kick butt in real-time.)
This minor update paves the way for a bigger Skyworld surprise that is heading your way next week. Stay tuned for more info soon!
Apart from a variety of minor fixes that mainly focus on the multiplayer experience, patch 5 includes:
Visually overhauled battle arenas that now better suit their Overworlds
Upgrading watch towers now provides visual feedback
That's it for now, but make sure to stay tuned for some exciting Skyworld news next week. Happy battling!
Patch 4 Now Live
We have added the Multiplayer autosave/resume feature. This allows the player to continue a match at a later point in time. This is useful when a player has to leave or when a disconnect has occurred. To resume a match, the host needs to create a new lobby with the same opponent.

Another update from our side. The 3rd patch for Skyworld is live, full patch notes are below. Among other things, this fulfills a recurring request from players: the option to switch on/off the table flip. By switching it off, you will instead of the table flip see a black fade.

Bugfixes:
Fixed bug that starts the game in demo mode when you own the full version. (29-11)
Fixed bug that soft-locks the game when the player loses a game.
Fixed capture/stream camera.
- Now properly works in the sublevels and during table flip.
