8.0 Immortals Sneak Peek: A Quick Chat with Sirrian!
Discover Gems of War’s biggest update of the year as the Immortals conquer PVP!
Experience a new era of puzzle warfare as Gems of War prepares to enter its next decade of match-3 combat! With the arrival of Update 8.0, we’re excited to finally introduce a new aspect to Gems of War, Immortals! Adventurers both new and old have been exploring the mythical world of Krystara for nearly 10 years, building their teams and conquering the puzzle board. For such a big update, there is no better person to delve into the details like the Creative Head at Infinity Plus 2, Steve “Sirran” Fawkner!
Hello everyone! Sirrian here, and I’m so excited to finally talk more about Immortals in Update 8.0 and what it means for Gems of War moving forward. But first…
Who are the Immortals?
Immortals are a completely new type of content that houses a new troop, weapon, and pet for adventurers to progress. It is quite unique in that it’s ultimately an entirely new troop type in Gems of War, which we haven’t done in many years! Unlike other troops, Immortals progress and act very differently from their non-Immortal counterparts, breaking free from the current rarity system. Furthermore, these troops are so powerful that only one Immortal can be included on a team at a time. We’re excited to see what kind of teams will be built by the community to take advantage of each Immortal troop’s unique abilities!
How are Immortals different from regular troops?
Immortals have a unique form of leveling separate from current troops that require a new item, Immortal Souls, to progress. At level 1, you’ll have the troop with its base stats which will already be viable to slot into any team, but as you build that immortal, you’ll unlock its unique weapon, pet, greater stats for all of that Immortal’s content, awakened traits, and mana reductions at higher levels. While there will be multiple ways to earn Immortal Souls, the primary way will be through the brand-new PVP Seasons!
Introducing PVP Seasons
Our new PVP Seasons feature opens a completely new avenue for Gem warfare! These seasons will take place over 11 weeks and provide a set of “Seasonal Goals” to pursue throughout the season’s run. Completing these goals will earn you special PVP buffs to boost your resource collection and PVP marks to purchase items in the PVP shop.
The introduction of PVP Seasons also launches with a new “PVP Season Pass” to earn even greater rewards!
One last note!
The 8.0 “Immortals” Update is the culmination of the last several updates focused on reinvigorating our PVP game mode in Gems of War. The team has done a tremendous job of developing new and exciting features including the introduction of “Regions” and new “Alliances” in the PVP map. The “Immortals” update brings all of these features together to establish the PVP system as a core pillar of the Gems of War formula.
We welcome all current, new, and returning adventurers to jump in a play today with our fully rich slate of PVE content or conquer the regions all across Krystara in PVP – there is something for everyone!
Dive into the latest update and recruit your new Immortal to smash gems and take over all of Krystara!
