2026 Jan – June Roadmap

Happy New Year, adventurers! 

Hope the holiday season treated you all well, and getting your sleeping habits readjusted to return to work life was only mildly difficult, haha. 

To start off the new year, we wanted to share with you a small top-level overview of the first 6 months of major events.

As always, everything is subject to change and possibly without getting a chance to share that change beforehand. 

You’ll be quick to spot that our next update, 9.1, is currently expected to be released in March! Formerly known as “Bastions”, it is now “Astral Spire”.

We plan to launch a blog closer to the release of the update, which will provide a more detailed explanation of Astral Spire. In the meantime, here is what we can share!

Astral Spire will introduce a new way for players to upgrade a variety of their skills and bonuses!

Ranging from increasing a hero’s attack or life, to unlocking opponent debuffs and gaining additional bonuses in some weekly events.

With plans in the future to introduce seasonal and limited skill bonuses, for events such as Campaigns and the Underspire!

We are also overhauling and removing the Adventure Path system and replacing it with the Library!

This is an updated level 1-50 tutorial system for new players, to more clearly introduce them to the various game modes and systems Gems of War has.

Already above level 50? Then the Library will retroactively mark it as completed! You won’t need to replay the tutorials to be able to collect the rewards.

For those who have an active Adventurers Path Pass subscription active at the time, or any unspent Adventure Keys at the time of the update, don’t worry, you will still receive all your rewards.

That’s just a small teaser of what is ahead for 9.1, as well as the first half of the year! 

Keep an eye out for our Astral Spire blog, releasing in March.

Please save any questions till that blog is released, as this is as much as we can share for now.
