Greetings Avalon Lords community,
It has been a long, eventful journey since Avalon Lords: Dawn Rises first entered Early Access back in 2016. Over the years we faced challenges, made mistakes and learned invaluable lessons along the way. Last year, we made the difficult decision to temporarily remove the game from the Steam store to embark on a complete rebuild. And during the upcoming Steam RTS Fest we are excited to share the first iteration of that process. If you are interested in testing it out, please read on to ensure you know what to expect.
The Rebuild: A New Beginning
Avalon Lords: Dawn Rises has been rebuilt from the ground up by a small, but passionate team of original and new developers. This is not a re-release of the old game but the beginning of an entirely new saga. While we’ve made significant progress, we want to be upfront: this is just the start.
What to expect
To set expectations correctly, here’s what the first iteration of the new build will contain:
A barebones Experience: The current version prioritizes core mechanics and stability over features and polish. Many systems are still in development and you’ll encounter placeholders and unfinished elements.
Foundational Gameplay: Expect minimal content at this stage. This release is focused on getting the basics right before expanding further. You can test the first mission of the campaign and test the systems in skirmishes. Multiplayer is available but is not properly balanced or polished.
Transparency Commitment: We’re committed to being open about the state of the game. While it is playable, it is not a full-fledged experience yet. Think of it as the foundation of what’s to come.
(Check out our Roadmap for 2025)
Why release now?
After being in bad shape for years and basically unplayable since we pulled it from the store, we felt it was essential to make something accessible again for those who have already supported us. By releasing the game during the Steam RTS Fest, we hope to re-engage with our community and invite new players to be part of this rebuilding process. It goes without questions that early supporters do not have to buy the game or any content again.
Your Role in Shaping the Game
We’re taking a community-centered development approach, and your feedback will play a critical role in shaping the future of Avalon Lords. Here is how you can help:

Share your thoughts on gameplay mechanics, features and balance.
Report bugs and technical issues to help us improve stability.
Suggest ideas for future content and improvements.
This is your opportunity to influence the direction of the game early on.
Important Considerations
Understand the Risks: If you are considering purchasing the game now, please do so with the understanding that this is an evolving project. This version is not for everyone and that’s ok.
Play now or Wait: If you prefer a polished experience, we recommend waiting for further updates. However, if you are excited to be part of the game’s growth and want to contribute, we’d love to have you on board.
Honoring Our Early Supporters
To those who supported us during the original release, we extend our deepest gratitude. Your patience and understanding mean the world to us. We are committed to delivering value over time and ensuring your investment in Avalon Lords is respected.
Join Us for the Steam RTS Fest
The next chapter of Avalon Lords: Dawn Rises begins during the Steam RTS Fest. We are excited to reintroduce the game and invite you to experience this new beginning. Stay tuned for updates and announcements in the weeks to come.
Thank you for being part of this journey. We can’t wait to hear your feedback and work together to make Avalon Lords the game we all envision.
With gratitude,
The Avalon Lords Development Team

2025 Roadmap: The Path ahead for Avalon Lords: Dawn Rises

Lords and Ladies of Avalon,
Before you can take a look at the first iteration of rebuilding Avalon Lords: Dawn Rises, we will share our plans for the future. This year, we aim to expand your experience with new features, legendary heroes, and an epic campaign story.
Here’s a closer look at the road ahead:
⚔️ Battle System Upgrades
As a first goal, we will refine the foundations of warfare to give you greater control on the battlefield:

Formations: Fine-tune your strategies with finalized formations, enabling your armies to maneuver with precision and execute tactics effectively.
Ultimate Spells: Unleash devastating magical abilities to turn the tide of battle.
Spectator Mode: Dive into the action like never before, watch battles unfold, and learn from the strategies of others.
🏰 Hero System Expansion
Once the foundations are solid, the world of Avalon will be enriched with legendary figures from its lore, and they’re ready to join your cause. Heroes coming to the game include:

Merlin - The wise and powerful wizard.
Arthur - The destined leader of Avalon.
Lancelot - The valiant knight.
Guinevere - The queen of Avalon.
Morgana - The leader of the Darkness.
Mordred – The dark knight and nemesis of Arthur.
and many more…
As heroes emerge, they will redefine your approach to battles, campaigns, and strategy. Choose wisely who will lead your armies to glory!
🌍 Multiplayer and Translations
The next goal will then be to solidify replayability and strengthen the community with new multiplayer content:

Three New Maps for multiplayer and skirmish modes, offering fresh challenges and new terrain to conquer.
Multilingual Translations: Avalon will welcome players from across the world with additional support for Russian, Chinese, and Korean.
📜 Campaign Storyline
The first version of Avalon Lords: Dawn Rises includes only the opening mission of Chapter One, offering a glimpse of what’s to come. Once we’re satisfied with the game’s overall state, the true journey through Avalon will begin! The campaign is the core of Avalon Lords: Dawn Rises, divided into four chapters, each featuring approximately five thrilling missions.
Our initial focus will be on completing Chapters One and Two, which we plan to release together in one major update. This update will include cinematics, voice-overs, and an engaging storyline to immerse players in the rich world of Avalon.
Afterward, we will turn our efforts to finalize the campaign with Chapters Three and Four, completing the epic narrative in a subsequent update.
Which feature excites you the most?
💬 Share your thoughts with the community, and together, let’s shape the future of Avalon.

December Update: Preparing Avalon Lords for a Bold Rebirth in January!
Greetings, Avalon Lords community! Since our last update in August, we’ve made significant strides in bringing Avalon Lords closer to the rebirth it deserves. Our team has been working tirelessly to refine the game, and today, we want to share the progress we’ve made and what lie
Greetings, Avalon Lords community!
Since our last update in August, we’ve made significant strides in bringing Avalon Lords closer to the rebirth it deserves. Our team has been working tirelessly to refine the game, and today, we want to share the progress we’ve made and what lies ahead.
What We’ve Accomplished Since August:
Here are some highlights of the work completed since our last update:

Combat Improvements: Addressed and fixed bugs like units not properly attacking enemies in missions, ensuring smoother gameplay.
Enhanced Tutorials: Redesigned tutorial screens to guide players more effectively, including updates like adjusting Peace Time mechanics.
Loading Screen Enhancements: Introduced a brand-new loading screen for a more immersive and polished experience.
Visual Updates: Added a sleek 3D logo to the main menu for a fresh, modern feel.
Animations: Reanimated core models, including the peasant unit, for more lifelike movements and dynamic interactions.
UI and Sound Pass: Continued refining UI elements and sound effects to ensure consistency and improve player immersion.
And this is just scratching the surface! The team has been methodically polishing every aspect of the game to ensure it’s in a state we can be proud of.
The Road Ahead: January Release Target
We’re excited to announce that we are targeting January 2024 for the release of the newly rebuilt version of Avalon Lords during the Steam Strategy Fest. However, this will only happen if the game meets our expectations of quality and polish. As always, our commitment is to "do it right this time." If the game isn’t ready, we won’t rush the release. Your understanding and patience mean the world to us as we push to deliver the experience Avalon Lords deserves.
What’s Next?
We’re currently in the final stages of preparing for broader playtesting to ensure the gameplay, mechanics, and experience all align with the vision we’ve rebuilt from the ground up. This includes:

Fine-tuning unit AI, particularly combat mechanics and pathfinding.
Testing the first chapter of the single-player campaign to ensure it captures the depth and excitement of the Avalon Lords story.
Continued improvements to UI, sound, and visuals across the board.
Thank you for sticking with us on this journey. The time and effort we’ve poured into this project are all for one goal: to bring Avalon Lords back better than ever. Keep an eye out for updates as we approach January, and don’t hesitate to share your thoughts, feedback, or questions. Your support keeps us motivated!
Stay tuned for more soon, and as always…
For Avalon!

Lords and Ladies of Avalon, the hour of ascension is upon us. With this week's update, witness the dawn of innovation in "Avalon Lords: Dawn Rises." Cast off the chains of proximity with new building levels, now unrestrained by the reach of your Town Hall, inviting a realm of strategic prowess.
A brand-new map unfurls, offering terrain ripe for conquest, replacing the venerable Isle of Honor. Your bastions of power, starting with the Town Hall, now boast an enriched visage, surrounded by nature's untamed beauty.
Anticipate a week filled with anticipation as we unveil the leaps taken in development, each more daring than the last. Prepare for the majesty of Avalon reborn.
Join us on this journey and bear witness to the transformation that awaits. For honor, for glory, for Avalon!
