NAVIGATE THE INVASION ATLAS
Immortals have defended Aelion from invasion since time immemorial, and asked for little reward in return. Now, players can benefit from amazing perks during Invasions by charting a course through the Invasion Atlas! This feature marks a huge change to player progression. This celestial star map offers the chance to define your journey through every Invasion by choosing different routes, and enjoying gameplay buffs and bonuses along the way.
You can unlock over 100 nodes when you progress through Invasions, each of which grants special perks. They could maximise your damage, increase the efficiency of your class, or grant other beneficial effects. There are so many ways to progress, and every Invasion offers a chance to take a different, unique path. Check out our guide for more information, and prepare to navigate the Invasion Atlas during the Phytonide Invasion!
OVERCOME MALEDICTIONS IN NIGHTMARE CHALLENGES
The Nightmare difficulty allows you to really challenge yourself by cranking up the adversity during your adventures. Now, we’re giving you even more ways to test your limits and earn better rewards for your efforts with the introduction of Maledictions. These modifiers will affect certain aspects of your adventures, with certain Maledictions making you more vulnerable to damage, others limiting the use of your Divine Form, and some giving your enemies the strength and speed to strike you down more easily.
Maledictions are not for the faint of heart, but you might find the rewards worth your while. It’s time to face your fears! If you want to find out more about Maledictions, our dedicated article has everything you need to know.
ARM YOURSELF WITH NEW LEGENDARY WEAPONS
Revisit old classes or discover new favourites by equipping a trio of new Legendary Weapons! Arm your Necromancer, Gunner, and Slayer classes with these golden weapons, each bundled with a class unlock and other goodies. Their luxuriously decadent finish is worthy of Aelion’s current celebrations, so try not to get them dirty while you’re out there kicking ass…
Gear up with three new bundles from the in-game store:
- Hand of Destiny Pack: Slay them all. Contains exclusive swords (Aika and Lakhesis, Veil of Fate), a Slayer class unlock, 75 Eidos Replicators, 30 Stimulants, and 2,000 Victor’s Medals!
- A Sound of Thunder Pack: Shoot to thrill. Contains an exclusive hand cannon (Nemesis, Triumph of Steel), a Gunner class unlock, 75 Eidos Replicators, 30 Stimulants, and 15,000 Knowledge of Enemies!

IMPORTANT: If you already own one of the classes that can be unlocked with the new Legendary Weapon Packs, you will not receive any compensation.
REPEL THE PHYTONIDE INVASION
Spring is in bloom, but an unwelcome infestation is ruining the vibe on Aelion. The Phytonides are pollinating the planet with evil in a new Invasion, and it’s up to the Immortals to put a stop to their schemes! Defeat the Phytonides and the Avatar Machavann to earn up to 20 levels of exclusive rewards through the Invasion Pass, including a brand-new Divine Form. The Phytonide Invasion Pass is now available to purchase in-game, and there are also many reward tiers unlockable for free.
