Hello everyone! I’m one of the developers behind Dying Ember — you can call me D.
First of all, thank you for all the support you’ve shown us, it truly means a lot to our passionate team.We’ve seen many of you asking what’s coming next, so today I’d like to share a look at our upcoming development plans:
What’t NEXT: New Season—Sunken Epoch
We’re creating a new season plan, and its core theme is the Sunken Epoch. This Sunken Epoch Themed Season will include new content, heroes, challenges and rewards. At the same time, we’ll expand the story and the apocalyptic world together with you. For now, we want to share the cool content we’re making for the Sunken Epoch.

■ Sunken Epoch Season Content Preview
The Sunken Epoch Season is far more than a cosmetic update—it’s a comprehensive refresh that impacts every aspect of your gameplay, from the story to your heroes and battles. Here’s everything you can look forward to, straight from our team:

1. New Stories and New Worldview of the Sunken Epoch
We’re expanding our game’s lore to show you a side of the wasteland no one’s seen yet: the ocean depths. Think old civilizations buried under water, mysterious forces hiding in the dark, and secrets about how the apocalypse changed even the deepest parts of the sea. As you play through the season, you’ll uncover new stories, explore underwater-themed wastelands, and piece together what’s really going on down there. This isn’t “side content”—it’s core to our story, and it’ll tie right into the world you already know and love.

2. Brand-New Heroes of the Sunken Epoch
We’re adding brand-new heroes. They are exclusive to the Sunken Epoch world. Each of them has completely new skills. They also have unique abilities that fit the underwater-wasteland setting. These new heroes will bring fresh strategies to your team. You can recruit these heroes through season challenges, rewards and events. We will gradually post some concept art of the heroes, and you can guess what new skills/abilities they will have; of course, the concept art does not represent the final quality.

3. Season-Exclusive Gameplay
We’re adding a brand-new, season-only gamepla

y mode—all about strategy and PVP! This mode will test your strategic depth in two key ways: you’ll need to research and optimize your base layout to fortify your defenses, and carefully allocate your heroes to critical defensive positions to fend off enemy attacks. Beyond that, you’ll also adapt your strategies to outplay other players, complete dynamic objectives, and climb the season leaderboard. Unlike our regular PVP, this mode has unique rules and rewards that change throughout the season—every choice, from base design to hero deployment, will shape your success.

4. Hero Exclusive Weapon System
One of our biggest updates this season: every single hero in the game is getting an exclusive weapon! These aren’t just for show—they will bring qualitative changes to each hero’s skills, opening up new build ideas and making even your go-to heroes feel brand new. Every hero’s weapon is unique, and fits their backstory and abilities perfectly.

5. New E-System
In the Sunken area, Neoelf will continue to be developed. And you can construct the brand-new E-System in your LandArk! This new optional E-System focuses on offensive and control-type abilities, paired with a brand-new Amplify point allocation system—all designed to unlock more build possibilities for you.
