LiF:Arden┃End-of-season announcement

Feudals, 

Today, we announce that “Season 1” for Life is Feudal:Arden has officially reached its end!

During “Season 1”, the world of “Seasonal Arden” saw 155 guilds emerge and enter the fray for the top placements. Hundreds of players stormed the plains of Abella in hopes of leaving a permanent mark in feudal history. Now, 9 months since the start of “Season 1”, destiny has spoken, and the tree nourished by blood, steel, and gold is about to give fruit.

According to the rules, once the “Season” is complete, the winners in each of 3 categories will be determined based on the “Seasonal Rankings” board available at the Dashboard. As it stays on October 28th, 2026, the following guilds emerged on top:

• 👑 Most points: “The Varangian Guard”, the One above All. 

• 🗺️ Most territory: “Spanish Inquisition”, the Empire on which the sun never sets.

• 💰 Most wealth: “The Varangian Guard”, the Abundant. 

🎊 Raise your glasses for the winners! Let mead and wine baptize this glorious moment! 🍻🥂

The team feels privileged to be in a position to help the community commemorate such outstanding achievements. As the Rewards for the winning guilds, our stonemasons have prepared a new type of decoration - statues, designed to forever represent the legendary feudals. Each statue is unique and features a personalized plaque with the name of a winning guild, solidifying in stone their top placement in “Season 1”. 

(Decorations will be added to the game with the next update - stonemasons need a minute to inscribe the names of the winners on the plaques)

Today - we celebrate; but the story does not end here!

❗Now, some important points regarding what comes next:

• No immediate wipe! “Seasonal Arden” will continue to operate until November 11th.

  • N.B. If you want to keep your character, you must transfer them to regular “Arden” world by November 11th. You can do so by either using a guild monument ("Sail to another world" ability), or by using the Traveler's Idol near a trade post.

  • N.B.B. Do not forget to dismantle decorations and take Decoration kits with you to regular “Arden” (otherwise you will need support team’s assistance to recover them). 

• November 18th will mark the start of a Pre-season for “Season 2”.

With “Season 1” coming to a close, we believe that it is the right time to look behind and reflect on the road so far. In the coming weeks, the team will be releasing a dev.diary, where we overview “seasonal” decisions and topics that caused the most discussions within the community.

Meanwhile, we invite you to leave your feedback on “Season 1” in our dedicated online form. We would also welcome any suggestions you may have regarding ”Season 2”. Both your suggestions and your feedback will help us set the direction not only for the dev.diaries, but also for future development.

Speaking of future development, the diaries would be incomplete without us sharing plans and what comes next. All kinds of announcements are being prepared, and the team is excited to share some updates on upcoming features, including tangible progress on game engine transition!

We are beyond grateful for every player who took part in this adventure. “Seasons” is a new direction for the game, and it was challenging for the team to navigate these uncharted waters. Not everything went flawless, and yet your support helped us to always bounce back. Any game would be lucky to have such an invested community! 

See you on the other side!
