Guild of Guardians Web3 game will get Frostmire expansion

Guild of Guardians maker Immutable unveiled today the upcoming launch of Frostmire, a new expansion that will bring players into a snowy environment and introduce two Legendary Guardians.

Immutable said the expansion will go live on October 16. Frostmire is the largest GOG update since its launch, and will introduce brand new gameplay elements and leveling expansions, raising the Commander level maximum to 120 and unlocking new high tier equipment that will provide key benefits during battles. The game is a hybrid free-to-play and Web3 game that you can play without spending money.

Frostmire brings a new location for GOG faithful to explore, with snow swept mountain peaks and frozen plains that are rife with new lore and further expand upon the game’s main story as players seek the remaining Places of Power. I played the game and enjoyed it, taking my top characters above level 20. The game has great music and it forces you to pay attention to how each fight is going as your squad tries to take down a dungeon full of enemies.

Commanders will lead their Guardians on a pilgrimage to Wellspring, a place of ancient wisdom in the frozen wastes, uncovering the tragic and heroic tales of ancestors connected to one of the new heroes joining the fight against The Dread.

“We want each GOG expansion to have a narratively compelling story that drives players to want to learn more about this world,” said Chris Clay, Guild of Guardians game director, in a statement. “Frostmire delivers a rich new location for players to explore, challenge their skills, and conquer, with new Guardians to help anchor the story and take Commanders along for the ride.”

Guild of Guardians creative designer, Ella Lowgren, said in a statement, “We wanted to show a new environment that stands in contrast to the lands that have been explored before, so this time the Commander and their Guardians are making their way to Stormkeep, which rests at the top of the tallest mountain in Frostmire. We used a different colour palette for this realm than has been used before, and the music also reflects the land in a whimsical way. With new enemies and surprises to be found in Frostmire, we can’t wait for players to check it out and let us know what they think.”

The two newest additions to the GOG lineup – Lisca and Dolvir – will unlock new gameplay options as players explore the frozen dungeons of the new setting, providing unique abilities alongside their teammates.

Dolvir, a Legendary warrior-style guardian known by many as “Earth’s Fury”, will allow players to add a powerful offense-based Guardian to their lineups with a distinct link to the natural world. The second new Legendary addition to the cast, Lisca, is a prolific hunter who grew up in Frostmire, bringing new ranged combat options to player’s team lineups with a witty sense of humor and love of sweet treats.

“We’re excited for players to get to add these new Guardians to their lineups and test out the new synergies they bring to the squad,” said Clay. “Alongside our new Guardians, players will also unlock new level maximums for their Commanders and get the chance to craft new high tier equipment, helping to stack the odds in their favor for their next big adventure.”

Frostmire will raise the GOG level maximum for Commanders to level 120, bringing with it new potential unlocks and additional rewards for exploring the new frozen tundra. Additionally, the expansion will introduce Level 7 equipment and gear that can be used to outfit Guardians to provide additional benefits during gameplay and strengthen players’ squads. The new equipment and level maximum will also unlock additional content for players who have reached the end of GOG’s progression system, acting as a true expansion for longtime fans.

Frostmire will officially launch globally on October 16th and unlock the new Guardians Lisca and Dolvir for players to purchase or summon through the Altar of Sacrifice.

GOG has seen impressive growth since its launch in May, approaching a million downloads of the game and showing an impressive 250,000 monthly active users, outperforming other similar mobile titles. The game has also seen over $500,000 in rewards distributed through the Immutable Rewards program and continues to lead the web3 gaming industry as a key success factor for the sector.

Immutable Games aims to bring Web3 games to millions of players. As the gaming-focused arm of Immutable, Immutable Games has pioneered the blockbuster NFT trading-card game Gods Unchained and recently launched the highly anticipated mobile RPG Guild of Guardians.
