Greetings Wielders! Lavapotion is back from our summer adventures. Alright, to be fair, around half of us are not, since not everyone took the same weeks off, but still, we’re back! Some of us went swimming, others fought battles with foam swords, but back at the office things ha
Greetings Wielders! It’s that time of year again. The Lavapotion office is closing for the Swedish summer vacation, and all the nerds are heading off to enjoy nights where the sun never sets, along with some well-earned time with family and friends. But don’t worry, we’ll be back

Hello Wielders, First of all: Thanks for the amazing reception to the launch of the Yulan DLC. The team is super happy about the response! Secondly: This is an update about our side-project - The incremental base building bullet heaven game called Wielders of the Essence! The gam
Greetings Wielders! The time has finally come. After months of teasers, devlogs, balancing, testing, polishing and more cups of coffee than anyone should reasonably consume, Yulan is now available for Songs of Conquest! Yulan is our largest faction expansion so far and one that h
Greetings Wielders! We are now less than a week away from the release of Yulan, our upcoming faction DLC. After all the work that has gone into it, it’s nearly surreal- not really, but close. So today I thought we would keep things simple and show off some new screenshots from th
Greetings Wielders! As summer approaches with alarming speed, even here in our cold corner of the world, so does the release of Yulan, our upcoming Faction DLC. June 4th is getting very close, and that also means more devlogs. Our playtesters are burning through the campaign maps
Greetings Wielders Another week and another Yulan Devlog. I told you I’d be giving you more of these as we got closer to release, and who am I to go against something like that? This one will be less talking and more showing off, as we are wrapping up unit animations. It is one o
Greetings Wielders We have been showing a lot of Yulan lately, and there is a great reason for that. We’ve settled on a release date for our upcoming Faction DLC: June 4th, less than a month away! Soon you’ll be able to get your hands on Yulan and all its Essence-wielding powers,
Greetings Wielders It’s time to look west. Or at least west of the islands of Arleon, and take another look at Yulan, our upcoming faction. We’ve been busy building things, and from now until release, there will be more regular updates coming your way. View game page Have you wis
Greetings Wielders We are hard at work with Yulan, and while some of us focus on the story part of our faction DLC, building campaign maps and shaping the lore and stories, others are working on that all-important art. This Steam post is mostly about that. We’ll give you a look a

Greetings Wielders, Today is a good day. At least if you enjoy stories, old grudges, and more undead than is probably healthy. Rise Eternal, our latest Tale DLC, is now live. You’ve been asking for more story-driven content for Songs of Conquest. This is exactly that. View game p
Greetings Wielders What’s this? Another Steam post about something other than your favorite HoMage? Well, yes. But to be fair, this is pretty cool news, and in many ways it is connected. By now, you probably know that we’ve been developing a separate, smaller project on the side.
Greetings Wielders Today’s Steam post is all about Kastus Maal, an idea we had years ago that has finally clawed his way out of the grave, quite literally, in this case. We started working on his Tale back in 2024, but had to bury it again for some less exciting real-life reasons
Greetings Wielders! A few months ago we shared that a small team at Lavapotion had been working on something new: Wielders of the Essence, a fast-paced survivors-like set in a familiar world. Some of you wishlisted it. Some of you raised an eyebrow. Either way, we have an update!
Greetings Wielders! It’s time for the very first Yulan Devlog, where we take the time to dive just a little bit deeper into one aspect of our new faction, and this time we’ve chosen the Tale. This has been one of the major points of feedback after we released our earlier Faction
Greetings Wielders! The time has come for us to unveil a new Faction DLC. (Or at least the store page!) Up until the actual release, we will be doing monthly behind-the-scenes devlogs, with insight into just about everything your hearts can desire about our upcoming faction. But
