We're deep in development on the sequel to Symphony of War - and in the mean time, we're still supporting the OG game.

Please don't hesitate to join our Discord server for all the latest updates on SoW2 and be a part of our social community! Thank you as always to you who make this game possible!

So there will be a bigger more clear announcement when the time comes. Truthfully, it's been in very early development for some time, but now that The Nephilim Saga is in a stable state, we are focused on the next installment. It will be years in the making, as the saying goes something like "Later is just later, but suck is forever". However, there should be a lot more community involvement during development on this one, especially as things get into a playable state! Support will of course continue for The Nephilim Saga, and console porting is currently underway, which is intended for Switch and Xbox (though can't make any promises there, console ports are a whole 'nother thing) The best place to get updates on the development is our Community Discord server: The Discord is a fairly active place and definitely my "internet home" as it's checked daily. There have already been a number of discussions and teasers regarding SoW2 there. Feedback and interactions with community players is invaluable to us! https://discord.gg/dancingdragongames - Okay cool, but what's in the next game? It's tough to make design promises, but there are a number of features we are 100% committed to so far.

The long peace established by the events of The Nephilim Saga have shattered as a new threat emerges, one that poisons the Donari Empire from within. A story told primarily from the point of view of Marius, an unlikely hero, and with a focus on the character drama and political intrigue of the day.
