⚔️ MAJOR NEW UPDATE
Another Major Update has arrived in Revenge of the Mage!
As we continue to our journey toward Version 1.0, this update brings some of the biggest additions we've made to the game so far including a brand-new Multiverse, the new Deck Building system, expanded crafting and equipment, new cards, new Perma Upgrades, major optimization improvements, and more. A large part of the systems we've been developing for the full release are now making their way into the game. And there's still much more to come with Version 1.0!
☁️ New Multiverse: Cloud Town
A brand-new Multiverse has arrived: Cloud Town!
Take your Mage into a completely new environment filled with new challenges, enemies, and encounters as you continue your journey across the Multiverse. Cloud Town expands the world of Revenge of the Mage and marks another major step toward the content planned for the full release.
🃏 Deck Building Is Here!
The Deck Building system is now part of the game! Instead of relying on the entire card pool during every run, you can now create your own deck and decide which cards can appear while playing. Build your deck around your preferred playstyle, experiment with different combinations, and create stronger synergies between your cards, equipment, and Mage. With more cards being added to the game, Deck Building gives you much more control over how you shape each run.
✨ New Cards - 54 New, Total 85
A large selection of new cards has been added!
These new additions bring even more possibilities for creating different builds and experimenting with new combinations. Some Mage-specific cards are being reserved for the Version 1.0 release, but the expanded general card pool is available as part of this Major Update. There are now even more ways to shape your build and discover new strategies throughout your runs.
🔨 Expanded Crafting & Equipment System - 51 New, Total 69
Crafting has received a major expansion! Equipment is no longer limited to just Rings. You can now craft and equip items across several equipment slots, including:
💍 Rings
📿 Amulets
🥾 Boots
🛡️ Chest Armor
👑 Headgear
This opens up many more possibilities for customizing your build and combining different equipment effects. A large selection of new craftable items has also been added, while some Mage-specific equipment will arrive with Version 1.0.
📈 New Perma Upgrades - 36 New, Total 48
We've expanded the Perma Upgrade system with many new permanent upgrades. These upgrades give you more ways to strengthen your progression between runs and prepare your Mage for increasingly difficult challenges. Some Mage-specific Perma Upgrades are being saved for the full release, but a significant part of the expanded progression system is already available in this update.
📖 Something New Is Appearing in the HUB...
You may notice something different inside the HUB. A new area related to the upcoming Book System has appeared. Books will play an important role in modifying and expanding your spells. While the complete system is being reserved for Version 1.0, you can now discover the first hint of what we're working on. Consider this a small preview of what's coming. 👀
🚀 Major Optimization Improvements
We've also spent a significant amount of development time improving the game's overall performance. This update includes another major round of optimization improvements, helping Revenge of the Mage handle intense battles, large groups of enemies, visual effects, and increasingly complex builds more smoothly. We're continuing to improve performance across the game, and optimization will remain one of our main focuses as we move toward Version 1.0.
📅 Version 1.0 - New Release Date: October 12
We originally planned to release Version 1.0 today. However, during the final stages of development, we encountered some unexpected challenges and realized that the game would greatly benefit from a little more development time. Rather than rushing the full release, we've made the decision to move the Version 1.0 launch to October 12, 2026. We want Version 1.0 to be the best and most polished version of Revenge of the Mage that we can deliver. These additional weeks will allow us to spend more time polishing the new content, improving performance, fixing remaining issues, balancing the new systems, and making sure everything comes together properly for the full release. We know many of you have been waiting for this milestone, and we truly appreciate your patience and continued support. Our goal is simple: Use this extra time to deliver a better Version 1.0.
🔮 What's Still Coming in Version 1.0?
Today's Major Update brings a large part of our new progression and build systems into the game, but we're not finished yet. The full release will bring the remaining content we've been working on, including Mage-specific cards, equipment and Perma Upgrades, the complete Book System (Spell Modification), additional content, further polishing, balancing, optimization improvements, and more. The road to Version 1.0 is almost complete.
🧙 Revenge of the Mage Version 1.0 launches on October 12, 2026!
Until then, jump into the new update, explore Cloud Town, experiment with your Decks, craft new equipment, discover the new Perma Upgrades, and start preparing your Mage for what's coming next. Thank you for being part of the journey and for supporting Revenge of the Mage. 🧙♂️✨
