Warbeasts expansion preview - April 25, 2025
The Warbeasts expansion is currently in the middle of testing and balancing, and a preview video for it is available on YouTube here.
Like previous preview videos, this preview covers the biggest additions that will be added with the Playstation 4 and PC versions of the Warbeasts expansion, with the primary additions of the expansion as follows:
A new 11th playable character, Allisara, a psychic princess with a focus on evasion and area control, will be playable in all modes. More information can be found in her own dev blog entry.
A new summoning mechanic, Warbeasts, will be available for Story Mode and Endless Dungeon. Warbeasts are summon monsters that are unique to each playable character, and they have their own dev blog entry alongside this one.
A new Strategy Mode, Counterintelligence, will have the player utilize their nation's military, economy, espionage and alliances to deal with multiple nations run by other playable characters. Counterintelligence has its own dev blog entry, which lists the player abilities, soldier types, religions and ruling approaches available to customize their nation to come out on top over the others.
A new Action Mode, Summoner's Onslaught, is a duplicate of Onslaught Mode with one exception -- the player fights alongside their character-specific Warbeast and must keep both themselves and their summon alive. More information can be found in the associated dev blog entry.
A new story arc in a new world will be added to Story Mode, with its own main questline, story-based side quests (which primarily has Warbeasts as rewards) and an optional superdungeon. 10 Warbeasts Challenges will also be added to Story Mode, which includes its own unique bosses in its final Challenge.
There is a possibility that some of what's been included in these dev blogs and the preview video could be changed before release if there is an issue in testing or balance.
The next update for the Warbeasts expansion will likely end up being its release, as the current work remaining is primarily testing and balancing.
