Main Changes

New Floating Islands

New shards of the once magnificent Ancient Valley soared into the skies. These are relatively safe areas, providing shelter to mighty oaks, berry bushes and tranquil bubbles, with the Cursed inhabiting separated ruins.

This update brings you eight new islands. Among them you will find two islands with the Skull Hunter and the Smoldering Warlock. Our seasoned players should already know that these powerful Cursed keep hold on the "keys" to the portal in the Cradles of Keepers.

As it has been told before, magical currents shuffle the islands in every new world. This may either bring your encounters with the old friends closer, or make you work harder to reach them.

Skill Tree Update

Spirit of Defenders branch has received new abilities, passive characteristics and two experimental spells.

The Order of Defenders will retain its unique right to change the skill tree of their Spirit at any moment without getting the approval from other Orders.

New Building UI

Each and every architect needs effective instruments. We're constantly improving the building system and this time decided to put some work on the UI. It now takes up much less space, and hopefully became much more convenient.

Tales of NPCs

Arkana's inhabitants know much. One should listen closely to their tales, as they may contain key information for discovering new interesting places and events.

DLSS

Good news for those who own NVidea graphics cards with DLSS technology. Frozen Flame now supports it! You can enable it in the video settings.
