Spellsworn - 1.0 Full Release
EDIT: We're aware of an issue preventing new players from downloading Spellsworn. We're currently investigating the issue and hope to resolve it shortly. Apologies for the inconvenience!
WE DID IT! We’re finally here!
After 3 years, we’re proud to see that our baby is finally released! You have no idea how exciting this is for us and the team. But enough about us - what does that mean for you?
Spellsworn is now Free-to-Play
Well, first things first - Spellsworn is now available for FREE! That’s right, FREE! Now, nothing stops you from laying claim to the arena… except all of the other spellcasters… and the arena itself… But besides, those, nothing!
For you old timers, that means you can bring all your friends to enjoy the fun-filled mayhem of Spellsworn! For newcomers, welcome to the fray! We look forward to meeting you in the arena.
“But, how do you intend to support yourself?”, you may ask.
Well, aren’t you thoughtful! We’ve revamped the chest system in-game and have introduced a new shop that allows you to purchase chests for real currency. As shown below, these can be purchased in increments, with discounts for purchasing in bulk. Each chest grants a cosmetic item for your character or weapon, helping you rule the arena in style!
This new shop will aid you in showing off your Spellsworn moves in style, while also helping to support us. Chests will continue to be unlocked at random intervals while playing in-game and all items earned before transitioning into free-to-play will be kept. Better yet, we’ve also added 10 new staffs for you to unlock! There’s plenty more where that came from, as we’ll be continuing to add new content over time.
The lootchest shop is currently disabled due to some meddlesome interference from the Clearing. Our best acolytes are on the job and we'll have this live ASAP.
2X Loot Event
To celebrate this momentous occasion, we’re increasing the loot drop rate for a limited time! That’s right - from now until March 19th, double the treasure, double the fun!
New Spells
In addition to the new staves, we’ve also added 3 entirely new spells!
Spellsworn Tournament with OP Noobs
Sounds good so far, right? But wait, there’s more!, we’ve also teamed up with the wonderful folks over at OPNoobs. This coming Saturday, we’ll be hosting a Spellsworn Tournament! Do you have what it takes to prove you’re the top Rock Pillar enthusiast?
Sign-ups begin today and with serious prizes up for grabs, you’ve every reason to don your robes and perfect your meteor strike usage.
As we mentioned beforehand, we will also be rewarding players with two gift packages, to thank them for helping us get Spellsworn to this point, the Founder’s Edition and the Collector’s Edition, containing a staff and skin and two staves and skins respectively. We are putting the finishing touches to these fine embodiments of grandeur, and are aiming to roll these out to all early access players within the next week or two.
Click on the below images for a sneak peek of what to expect:
Bug fixes, updates, changes, and more.
As well as all of the above, we also have our fixes and changes. For those interested, the FULL changelog is below.
Now that we’ve gotten the formalities out of the way, time for the sentimentals -
To all our fans and supporters who played, shared, enjoyed, and improved Spellsworn with us throughout the last 3 years, we want to wish you a sincere and heartfelt thank you! You have been incredible to us over the years and it gives us great joy to finally be able to deliver our dream to you. Really, Thank you! 5 Rock Pillars up for all of you!
While this is the end of an epic journey, it’s also the beginning of a new one. We look forward to sharing it with you!

Spellsworn - Free Weekend and Upcoming Free-to-Play Release!
Hey everyone,
Exciting stuff to announce today:
SPELLSWORN WILL BE LAUNCHING MARCH 13TH FOR WINDOWS AND LINUX!
Oh hell yes! Excited? Ecstatic? We certainly are! Don’t forget, those who own Spellsworn before the free-to-play launch will receive the Founders Edition, which new players can purchase in order to get two Legendary Skins and two Legendary Staves. And, on top of that, they will also receive two unique items that will not be available after the launch.
There's only a few weeks left, so don't miss out on these unique items!
ALSO, to celebrate the new launch, we'll be running a free weekend on Steam from March 1st to 4th! This'll allow you and all your friends to get a sneak peak at Spellsworn ahead of the Free-to-play launch!
As always, many thanks to you for your love and support! We're so close we can almost Blink to it… Best not try though!
As always, feel free to send us an email, write in the comments below, or hit us up on Twitter, Facebook, Reddit or the Spellsworn Fan Community on Discord!.
‘Til Next Time!
Please note: Our scrolls got a little muddled today and we cast the wrong communication spell - the correct date for the Free Weekend is March 1st to 4th, not February 22nd to 25th.
The Next Step for Spellsworn - We’re going Free-to-Play!
Hey everyone,
Woah - isn’t that a big one? Free-to-play?! Yep, it certainly is. It’s a decision that we’ve pored over together for quite some time, but we are proud today to announce that, come release day (i.e. leaving Early Access), Spellsworn will be FREE FOR EVERYONE TO PLAY. In this devlog, we want to unravel this decision, explain how we got here and what awaits in Spellsworn’s largest development step - one that we believe is for the better!
So, why are we doing this? Let us say from the outset - this hasn’t been an easy one for us to make. As many of you fine spellcasting fans will know, we’ve struggled with players for much of Spellsworn’s life - simply, the Spellsworn player experience is quite a lonely one, playdates aside. Bots were a well-received means for players to enjoy Spellsworn at their own discretion and perhaps overlap into another player joining, but most owners are not playing simultaneously. Empty arenas and lonely acolytes are a common occurrence and that was certainly NOT our vision for Spellsworn!
From the very beginning, our goal has been to make Spellsworn a fun and challenging game; where you can not only challenge yourself, but others from around the world in wizarding duels. While remaining as a premium game would certainly see an increase in players come launch day, it’s still nowhere near what we want for Spellsworn. By changing to free-to-play, we believe that we’ll can share the excitement and fun of Spellsworn with a wider audience, who will continue to enjoy it for months and, dare we say, years to come!
Of course, some of you may be raising eyebrows and asking, “That’s all fine and well, but what’s the catch?”. A good question indeed, but we’re happy to say, there is none. The game will be entirely free to all players to play, enjoy, and reign victorious in, without any pay-to-win mechanics. To support the game, we intend to sell in-game items and articles, but these will remain purely cosmetic. There will be NO paywalls; NO artificial limitations on performance; NO performance enhancing transactions (other than looking fabulous). Just good, free, wholesome Spellsworn fun, Rock Pillars included.
There are inherent risks with this change - there are certainly no guarantees that players will purchase these optional cosmetic items. For us though, the risk of this pales in comparison to the reward of many players enjoying Spellsworn. We’ve poured our heart and soul into this title and we want as many of you as possible to feel the thrill of a knockout Fireball and disappointment of a failed Homing spell! The hard work we’ve put in over the last year has meant that even in the worst-case scenario, our future and Spellsworn’s is still secure. However, after countless hours of consultation, research and discussion, we’re confident this decision will help us achieve our goal for Spellsworn.
There’s a lot to process here, but there’s still one question left unanswered - “What about those of us who’ve already purchased Spellsworn?” Fret not, we won’t leave you hanging.
To thank you for your wonderful support, anyone who owns the paid version of the game will be rewarded six unique items, two of which will be exclusive to the Early Acces owners only! These two exclusive items will never be available again post-launch! In addition, you will also receive the other four items that are exclusive for the Founders Edition , which will be available post-launch as a purchasable DLC.
Whew! That was a quite a lot, but we hope that you share our excitement for what lies in store. It’s certainly going to be different around the arena.
As always, but especially now, we want to sincerely thank you for all the love and support you’ve sent our way throughout this incredible journey. We look forward to sharing Spellsworn with even more of you over the coming months and duelling with you in the Arena.
We’re still finalising details and the roadmap towards the final release, including the final date, so we’ll have more specifics and progress to share over the coming weeks. Stay tuned!
If you have any questions at all, feel free to send us an email, write in the comments below, or hit us up on Twitter, Facebook, Reddit or the Spellsworn Fan Community on Discord!.
‘Til Next Time!
