Hello, Tamers!
Dragon Eclipse launched into Early Access more than 3 weeks ago. Thank you SO MUCH for being a part of this journey and providing a lot of feedback! We read and analyzed all your comments thoroughly. Based on that, we’ve already released a few small updates, focusing on bug & crash fixing, and various UX-related features.
Today we’re proud to present you with the first full-fledged content patch for Dragon Eclipse - the Shadow Realm! As many of you have beaten the game on the highest difficulty level, this brand-new land offers an even greater challenge for the bravest ones.
Rest assured, this is just the beginning of our journey. We’re already working on new updates of similar size, and we plan to keep releasing them every 2 weeks.
Without further ado, let’s jump straight into it!
Discover the Shadow Realm
Embark on an eerie adventure through the Shadow Realm, which, for the most part, remains a mystery to humanity. It is said that every 1000 years, a double eclipse opens a portal to this world. Last time, the Dragon Guardians closed it at great cost, but they haven't appeared this time. It's up to you to dive into the realm, uncover its secrets, and close the portal for good!
Encounter new enemies
Prepare to face two new foes in the Shadow Realm:
- Fungusmo: this enemy introduces a brand-new mechanic with its two phases. Don’t get too comfortable seeing it dormant.
- Exalted Shadowling: another two-phase opponent. One of the phases renders your attacks useless. Or… does it?
Challenge a new boss
Meet Skitterpaw, the new boss of the Shadow Realm. Not to spoil too much, but you can be sure it’s very powerful, as it possesses the power to manipulate elements. This epic battle will test your skills to the fullest!
Blessings-related store changes
To add an extra layer of resource management, we’ve made some tweaks to the store & Blessings mechanics. For a small amount of Mystberries, you can now freeze a specific Blessing, ensuring it appears the next time. Additionally, the third Blessing slot is now locked and can only be unlocked by redeeming this slot.
Expanded hub story events
This one you’ll have to explore for yourself! In short, most Mystlings have received additional story events that expand their background and deepen the narrative.
Watch the official trailer for the Shadow Realm update to get a glimpse of what’s coming:
Huge thank you to everyone who decided to give Dragon Eclipse a try. Your overwhelming support and feedback help us keep the development going, so continuous extra suggestions or requests are always welcome!
As announced, there’s tons of more content to come, so stay tuned for future updates!

Good luck out there, Tamers! ❤️
