Some bad news about Songs of Conquest

Regrettably, financial difficulties compelled Lavapotion Studio to let go of a few team members. On the brighter side, each one of them has successfully secured new positions elsewhere.

  1. The developers emphasize that the studio is currently doing well. Therefore, the development plans for next year aren’t in danger. In the summer of 2025, we will receive a second paid expansion Roots, which will add the titular faction, as well as an update with new Conquest maps and multiplayer improvements for both PvP and co-op. Furthermore, the game will be available on mobile devices with iOS and Android systems.
  2. The third expansion and an update with another set of new maps for the Conquest mode are planned for the winter 2025. A conversion to another hardware platform is also being prepared, which the developers aren’t yet ready to reveal (it could be about Switch 2).

The “Songs of Conquest” game debuted in Early Access on May 21, 2022, and its full version 1.0 followed two years later. This game has been well-received, garnering an impressive 87% positive reviews on Steam.
