Warlords,
The grandest update in our history—Three Kingdoms, built on System 2.0—is on the horizon. Its scale surpasses anything we have created before. This is no longer just another Season; its the start of the evolution to Conqueror’s Blade itself.
But before we open that new chapter, we need to take a different path.
The next thing you see will not be Three Kingdoms. Instead, we are presenting a special-season crafted with special intention—dedicated entirely to you.

Time to Regroup and Forge Ahead

Before charging into the Three Kingdoms, we will launch a special-season featuring an 8-week Territory War cycle: [Season Echo: The Unbroken Song].
We want to focus on one clear directive:
“Stop adding new content. Fix what needs fixing.”
We have made a crucial decision: instead of rushing forward, we are slowing down. We will dedicate our efforts to refining the core gameplay experience and resolving bugs, paving a smooth road before we open the gates to the Three Kingdoms. We are stepping back to clear out long-standing issues and return to what matters most—allowing you to truly enjoy the game.
Alongside this, we are bringing back a selection of classic, highly replayable content. At a more relaxed pace, this is your chance to rally your forces, clash on the battlefield once more, and make final preparations before that era-defining transformation arrives.

Season: Echo — The Grand Finale of Conqueror’s Blade 1.0

This special-season is more than a transition. It is a reflection—an echo of everything we have built together.
Across more than twenty seasons, we have shared battles, victories, defeats, and countless memories. Some of you joined us as students and have since grown alongside the game; others stepped away, only to return once more to the battlefield. This journey has been longer—and more meaningful—than any of us could have imagined.
With this special-Season, we want to honor that journey.
Before we march into a new era, we stand with you—to reflect, to celebrate, and to give a proper, heartfelt farewell to Conqueror’s Blade 1.0.

"Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift."
The next chapter is coming.
But first, we remember.

Point "Zero": As is Tradition

- Continuing the tradition we started in Season 0, the [Echo] Season will feature two brand-new sets of Attire, unlockable through Season Challenges.
- Just like we did in the Roses Season, we are taking a batch of seasonal Units—ones that used to be locked behind Season Challenges—and moving them directly into the Unit Tree, while gradually rolling out their Mastery. Whether you're a brand-new Warlord just learning the ropes, or a returning veteran knocking off the rust, you'll be able to round out your roster quicker than ever.

Point One: Fixing What Needs Fixing

Instead of rushing forward, we are dedicating this Season to clearing out the backlog of balance and optimization issues, with the sole purpose of truly elevating your core gameplay experience.
- Weapon Adjustments — We are rolling out a fresh wave of weapon adjustments this Season, prioritizing the classic weapons that have been part of Conqueror's Blade from the very start. Our approach is to expand on existing Skills to open up richer gameplay mechanics. First up: the adjusted Shortsword & Shield Skills.
- Unit Mastery Tweaks — Underperforming Units with Mastery, or those yet to unlock it, will receive stat readjustments or full Mastery unlocks. We haven't forgotten the Units that got their Mastery, had their moment in the sun, and were then left behind.
- Inventory Expansion — We're adding more slots to ease the constant headache of clearing out your Inventory.
- Additionally, we're taking targeted aim at some of the meta strategies currently dominating the game.
And this is just a glimpse of what is to come. We'll be breaking down the full list of adjustments in upcoming dedicated articles.

Point Two: Eight Weeks to Just Play, No Grinding

We know all too well the burden of grinding for new Units and farming Bronze Coins at the start of a Season. This time, we've lowered the XP required to max out the Battle Pass and scaled down the difficulty of Season Challenges. Even if you only have time to log in for a couple of matches after work, you'll easily make progress without the stress of a max-level grind.

Relive the Glory Days

We're also bringing back the most iconic game modes from our past 26 Seasons on a weekly rotation. By Land and Sea, Cliff Duel, Colosseum, Imperial Showdown... these truly unique experiences will return to you one after another. And those beloved classic siege maps that have been missing from the pool for far too long? They'll be making their comeback during special events.

Fight Without Sweating the Cost

For the entire Season, Unit Kit losses in Territory War are completely disabled. Rally your friends, deploy your strongest Units, and fight to your heart's content without worrying about the bill.

No Wrong Time to Return

While there are no new Units this Season, you can still unlock Units from past Seasons directly through Season Challenges. On top of that, taking on these challenges this time around will also grant you some brand-new, unique rewards.

This isn't a Season about endless grinding. It's a celebration for all Warlords.

Point Three: A Second Chance at What You Missed

We've designed this Season's Battle Pass a little differently:
- From Season 0 to Season 20, original non-Sealed Unit Flag, Unit Attire, and Mount Attire items will return to the Battle Pass reward track as selection boxes. Whatever you missed out on back then, you can handpick for yourself this time around.

Throughout the regularly updated events this Season:
- Original non-Sealed Hero Attire from the Season 0 to Season 20 Battle Passes will gradually return. Participate in events for a chance to earn them—a genuine second chance to score some limited-edition gear.

This time, no one misses out!

A Final Word

From Thermopylae to Hangu Pass, from guarding the desolate frontiers to fighting for the divine right of kings.
The five-thousand-year history of cold-weapon warfare is a magnificent, soul-stirring epic.
Yet in the gaming world, you can count on one hand the titles that genuinely try to recreate the epic feeling of thousands marching in formation and tearing down city walls.
We have always been dedicated to exactly that. For more than twenty seasons, we haven't stopped.

Three Kingdoms is our next answer. But before it arrives, the [Echo] Season stands as the footnote before the true evolution begins.

The spirit of Conqueror's Blade burns on, and The Unbroken Song plays on. This Season, let's just hit the battlefield and enjoy a great fight.
