Dev Diaries

What are our intentions behind the Concept?
The current Endgame has a few issues and missed opportunities we want to improve on. One of the most important points is to let the top Realms enjoy the full time of the endgame with the strategic most interesting content: The fight for Towers and Orbs. The weakest Realms in contrast get a clear and realistic goal they better can act on: Surviving on their island as long as possible. Also, we want Eternal Orbs not to be an alternative winning…

Two new Warlords are joining the rows of Arkheim's armies. And with their arrival, a new era begins.




Dear Ascendants,


more content is nearing the shores of Arkheim and as usual, we would like to hear your feedback about the current development concepts that are work in progress. We would therefore like to invite you once again to a Discord-Dev-Talk with our game designer DarioR. Join us on Discord [URL:https://bit.ly/Arkheim_Discord] on Friday 26.11.21, starting at 4:00 PM CET to give…

New Warlords and Units


Some powerful reinforcement is on the way to the Elven and Dwarven warriors of Arkheim. Beginning with S11, 2 new Warlords and 2 new Units will be introduced!




New Warlords
For the late game, one Dwarven and one Elven Warlord will be unlocked with Level 108. These are not Premium Warlords and are therefore accessible for everyone.

Low chants can now be heard from this towering construction.
Proudly emblazoned is a gem, eerily similar to the Arks of Arkheim.





The Goblins have had enough of being constantly ambushed by the new habitants of Arkheim and decided to unite!
Starting S7, you will encounter several NPC Realms on the map: The Goblin Realms.


In the mid- and late game, battles on the lower islands may become arduous at times as gaps between Realms become bigger and bigger. With the introduction of Goblin…

Friendships in Arkheim

In this short Dev-Diary, we reveal one other improvement that is currently work in progress: This improvement is all about friends and chat interactions and will go live very soon.




Invite a Friend to Arkheim
The time is ripe to enjoy the best moments in Arkheim with your closest friends and co-gamers. When starting a new game round you will be able to send out an invitation to a friend, either via link or email. Once your friend registers an account, you will be…

Realms areat the very heart of Arkheim. You win, or you lose, as a team.


We all knowthat finding a good Realm makes all the difference, and that is why we haveheavily reworked the first steps in Arkheim - Realms at War, including a newtutorial phase and a better way to form Realms.
The right realm from the start
Finding theright Realm for yourself hasn’t always been easy. Growing your realm as thegame advances and absorbing less successful teams had a certain charmabout it, but we realized…

If you have played one of the last rounds of Arkheim – Realms at War, you may be familiar with the problem of realms placing new towers right next to the ones being conquered, and this way avoid territory losses. An issue that the community brought up during the last game round.






We'd like to suggest a solution called“Contested Influence” - Towers in specific states can now create neutralinfluence.
The Contested Territory
Towers and Portals will create a “contestedterritory” around them…

It’s a time of focus and dedication in the Arkheim – Realms at War office. A few months to go until the next Early Access round starts. The clicking sounds of computer mice and keyboards fill the air as the team focuses on improving the gameplay experience for our Ascendants, based on the learnings of EA I.


We will tackle many topics including Player onboarding, PvP, Realm creation, and other quality-of-life improvements, desired by the community. In this very first sneak peek, we wish to…

Many of you have ascended into Eternal Light, but did you know ascension was not always a part of Arkheim - Realms at War? Back in the very first closed beta, there were no Ascensions or floating islands, but instead one huge continent for all players to explore as either Dwarves or Elves. Now, let’s dive deeper into the breaking of a continent.
Why did we break the continent?
