'Rising Lords' To Get The Pilgrim War DLC Expansion Later This Year

by Rainier on March 4, 2025 @ 11:13 a.m. PST

Rising Lords is a medieval simultaneous turn-based strategy with card and board game elements.

Send your serfs to fight and die in your name... or let them prosper, and use them to your advantage!

Collect taxes and resources. Dictate rations and field work. Forge weapons, reshape the battlefield, raise armies, and build mighty fortified cities. Help your people become knights, or dump them on a battlefield far away, but be careful: even the most humble peasants will revolt eventually...

Rising Lords features a robust multiplayer component to boot. Play a quick game, or settle in for an evening or more. Up to four players will be able to play simultaneously, with no need to wait for each individual to take their turn. Play mind games with your friends with Rising Lords’ advanced social interactivity, and let them pay for their insolence in questioning your right to rule!

Plus, the game will come with a sizeable single-player campaign mode with detailed customization options and subtle variables.

The tide turns quickly when at war.


Rising Lords developer Argonwood announce The Pilgrim War, the official DLC Expansion for Rising Lords, coming to across all platforms later in the year at 9.99€.

The Pilgrim War DLC expands on the original game with more exciting battles which include many new features from a new nation which will be introduced in a new story campaign, new maps and allows your nations for the first time to use science to specialize even further!

Become a part of the exciting Rising Lords expanding territory as you rise through the ranks, gaining more power, experience and respect. Battling with other lords, increasing production, resource gathering, diplomacy and treason, tax and rations, and much more.

Features:

  • The nation of Atra awaits and is ready for war while offering new and unique mechanics
  • Explore the Southlands, a new region which has been in a religious dispute with the Knights of the north since forever
  • 7 new units to increase the complexity of the turn based battles even further and introduce an asymmetric balance

Welcome to the Kingdoms of Atra!

Traverse into the immersive medieval Kingdoms of Atra where your tactical skills will be put to the test in epic, turn-based battles.  

The southern Kingdoms of Atra are well known for their terrifying armies. The magnificent cities with their golden roofs, their expansive gardens and their massive stone walls are witnesses of their craft and hunger for wisdom. They are the Atras! Nobody can oppose them. Well? The world has changed.

A fragile peace will always cause a war!

Since forever there has been a dispute among the Knights of the North with the South over religion. And yet a fragile peace allowed pilgrims from both sides to visit the holy city. When a massive invasion fleet arrives ashore, young prince Matek and his small principality have to defend themselves at all costs. The threat becomes unbearable but help comes from an unexpected side.

Fresh DLC content for experienced players!

Time has come for war again and to create massive armies. The nation of Atra awaits with new units you can discover. For the first time, science expands the tactical and strategic options, not only for the Atras but also for your well known Knights. Implement and unlock new advantages to define and redefine your own playstyles. Use it to gain a benefit in front of your countless enemies.
