It’s time to rally your mercenaries, Voyagers! XD Games has officially revealed its celebration plans for the 2nd Anniversary of its acclaimed free-to-play tactical RPG, Sword of Convallaria. Beside a treasure trove of anniversary freebies and events, the developer has pulled back the curtain on the game’s next major story arc: The Luccian Tundra.

Whether you’re a day-one tactics master or a newcomer looking for the perfect time to dive into the world of Iria, here is everything you need to know about the upcoming celebrations and future updates.

The Luccian Tundra: A Story Split Across Ice and Time

The highlight of the announcement is the brand-new expansion, which transports players to the frozen, unforgiving plains of Luccia in the northernmost reaches of Rodinia. The new story arc will play out across two complete, narrative-driven chapters in the Spiral of Destinies mode:

1. Sagas of Ice and Blood (Launching 31 July) Players will experience the harsh, bitter winter taking over Luccia, following its resilient populace as they face desperate, life-or-death survival trials across snowy battlefields.
2. Frostheart (Launching 25 September) This second part takes players back in time to Year 980, right in the aftermath of the Luccian Empire’s defeat during the Second Radiant War, offering deep lore and pivotal history lessons for fans of the game’s rich world.

Alongside the new story chapters, players can test their strategies in new game modes like Hunt on the Frozen Plains (featuring standard, 1-team challenge, and boss gauntlet modes) and Hall of Winds, a rogue-like Luccia-themed event.
