Greetings once again, Skylords, Skyladies and other Skyfolk!
First off, thank you all so much for showing up to the major announcement stream hosted today! We couldn't be more grateful for all your support over the years. For those of you who haven't been able to see it, here's a brief recap and a very important announcement:
You can re-watch the stream to catch up over here!
We have released a huge update to live servers! This includes the following:
12-player maps are now a thing! We finally got them to work.
2vs2 Ranked is now also a thing!
Lots of QoL changes to the Auction House, like refresh rates, setting up multiple auctions at once, and 48h auctions.
The ability to play cards from the marketplace in the forge without actually owning them
New faction boosters that will help increase your odds for cards of a faction that you like! All 2-color and pure factions now have their own separate boosters costing respectively 475 and 500 BFP.
New BFP system that replaces the 30m free booster quest. This system will allow you to earn BFP over time rather than hitting a wall after 30m of play, and will allow those with jobs or less time on their hands to catch up on others in order to give them a chance at auctioning and partaking in the economy. For more details on the BFP system and how it works, check out its most recent thread here.
BFP and quests that are missed can be stored up to 3 days (6 quests max, 550 BFP stored max, 100 per day.)
Numerous fixes and improvements
Please check out this thread for all the details and full patch notes!
We're going to get a brand new updater in the near future, which gives easy access to things such as server selection, the map editor, social links, and much more! Check it out on-stream!
PvP players rejoice! We're planning to introduce several pre-built decks to PvP that will be level 120, fully upgraded and charged to get the full PvP experience of being on the same level as your opponents. In the meantime, you can use your rewards earned through PvP to collect and build other decks or refine your current one. These decks cannot be used in PvE.
And last, but certainly not least, we are proud to announce the following:
We have finally progressed far enough to announce a release time!
Skylords Reborn 1.0 will be released in Q4 2020! Along with one and only reset.
That's October, November or December, depending on how well we progress and how many bugs and difficulties we still encounter. We are confident we can actually get this done in time, after many years of holding back on release dates.
Recently, our developers @fiki574, @Aviat0r, but most notably @Ladadoos and @Zyna, have done massive work towards the project, as you can see, and thanks to them we have come very far throughout the past few months despite losing a great help to the project, Kubik. We've made a lot of progress too on design decisions thanks to @MephistoRoss and @Ultrakool and of course we wouldn't be anywhere without your support, be it through helping us by reporting bugs, by supporting us on Patreon, or just for sticking along this long!
Please enjoy the fresh new patch that we released on live servers today, and keep up the positivity! We're ever closer to that sweet gold status and to that final reset, and we're insanely grateful to have come this far. We'll keep you updated on all of our developments through the forums, discord, and also our new Trello! Here you can follow the latest developments, future plans, and our roadmap to 1.0!

That covers it all for now! For some more information you can refer to the Q&A that we did on-stream!
Stay frosty, stay healthy, stay undead, and stay burning, guardians of Nyn! See you in the forge!
