In the blink of an eye, it’s been almost three months since our pixel tower defense game Relic Guardian launched.
We’re incredibly grateful to see the game receiving 95% Very Positive reviews on Steam—thank you all so much for your support and love! 🙇♂️🙇♀️
During this time, we haven’t been idle. While continuing to polish and fix issues, we’ve also been working on new content. Today, we’d like to share an update on what we’ve been doing recently—and what’s coming next!
🚀 Upcoming Plans (Public Info) 🚀
1️⃣ Mobile Version — In Development!
We’ve received quite a few questions from the community about a mobile version—thank you for your enthusiasm!
We’re currently working on mobile development, focusing on control and UI adaptations, with the goal of letting everyone defend Vortex Island anytime, anywhere.
2️⃣ A Wave of DLC Content Is on the Way!
After the mobile version reaches a stable stage, we plan to release a DLC. Our current plan includes:
New Adventures: A brand-new map theme and mechanics, featuring several new stages and bosses
Firepower Support: 5 new defense towers and 1 new Pani incarnation
New Form: 1 new Fran form
All of this content is still in active development and polishing, so specific details may change. Once things are finalized, we’ll be sure to share more information with you as soon as possible.
3️⃣ Balance Adjustments
Alongside the DLC update, we’ll also roll out a routine balance patch.
This time, we’ll be paying special attention to some lower pick-rate Panis, such as the fire-breathing one and the mechanical one.
Our hope is to make them show up more often in your builds—becoming key strategic options rather than just entries in the codex.
4️⃣ One More Idea Under Consideration
We’re also internally discussing another possibility:
whether to adjust one particularly powerful Pani to become permanently available.
This involves overall balance and gameplay flow, so we’re still weighing the pros and cons carefully.
As for which Pani it might be… feel free to guess 👀
All of the above is still a work in progress, and we’d love to hear your thoughts. Feel free to chat with us on Discord anytime!
Once again, thank you to every Guardian for being with us.
The defense continues—see you in the next update! 🛡️✨
