EDIT: We're aware of an issue preventing new players from downloading Spellsworn. We're currently investigating the issue and hope to resolve it shortly. Apologies for the inconvenience! WE DID IT! We’re finally here! After 3 years, we’re proud to see that our baby is finally released! You have no idea how exciting this is for us and the team. But enough about us - what does that mean for you?

Spellsworn is now Free-to-Play

Well, first things first - Spellsworn is now available for FREE! That’s right, FREE! Now, nothing stops you from laying claim to the arena… except all of the other spellcasters… and the arena itself… But besides, those, nothing! For you old timers, that means you can bring all your friends to enjoy the fun-filled mayhem of Spellsworn! For newcomers, welcome to the fray! We look forward to meeting you in the arena. “But, how do you intend to support yourself?”, you may ask. Well, aren’t you thoughtful! We’ve revamped the chest system in-game and have introduced a new shop that allows you to purchase chests for real currency. As shown below, these can be purchased in increments, with discounts for purchasing in bulk. Each chest grants a cosmetic item for your character or weapon, helping you rule the arena in style!
This new shop will aid you in showing off your Spellsworn moves in style, while also helping to support us. Chests will continue to be unlocked at random intervals while playing in-game and all items earned before transitioning into free-to-play will be kept. Better yet, we’ve also added 10 new staffs for you to unlock! There’s plenty more where that came from, as we’ll be continuing to add new content over time.
The lootchest shop is currently disabled due to some meddlesome interference from the Clearing. Our best acolytes are on the job and we'll have this live ASAP.

2X Loot Event

To celebrate this momentous occasion, we’re increasing the loot drop rate for a limited time! That’s right - from now until March 19th, double the treasure, double the fun!

New Spells

In addition to the new staves, we’ve also added 3 entirely new spells!

Spellsworn Tournament with OP Noobs

Sounds good so far, right? But wait, there’s more!, we’ve also teamed up with the wonderful folks over at OPNoobs. This coming Saturday, we’ll be hosting a Spellsworn Tournament! Do you have what it takes to prove you’re the top Rock Pillar enthusiast? Sign-ups begin today and with serious prizes up for grabs, you’ve every reason to don your robes and perfect your meteor strike usage. You can sign up for the tournament here.

Founder’s Edition and Collector’s Edition

As we mentioned beforehand, we will also be rewarding players with two gift packages, to thank them for helping us get Spellsworn to this point, the Founder’s Edition and the Collector’s Edition, containing a staff and skin and two staves and skins respectively. We are putting the finishing touches to these fine embodiments of grandeur, and are aiming to roll these out to all early access players within the next week or two.

Bug fixes, updates, changes, and more.

As well as all of the above, we also have our fixes and changes. For those interested, the FULL changelog is below.
Now that we’ve gotten the formalities out of the way, time for the sentimentals - To all our fans and supporters who played, shared, enjoyed, and improved Spellsworn with us throughout the last 3 years, we want to wish you a sincere and heartfelt thank you! You have been incredible to us over the years and it gives us great joy to finally be able to deliver our dream to you. Really, Thank you! 5 Rock Pillars up for all of you! While this is the end of an epic journey, it’s also the beginning of a new one. We look forward to sharing it with you!
