Conquer the Sands: Rising Lords - The Pilgrim War Arrives April 21

Deck13 Spotlight and Argonwood invite players to the sun-scorched desert of Atra as their epic turn-based strategy Rising Lords expands with The Pilgrim War on April 21, launching first on PC (Steam/GOG), with consoles to follow later this year.

From Protector of Pilgrims to Savior of the Realm

In this new campaign, you will follow Prince Matek of Asir Namur as he faces ruthless bandits roaming the dunes and longs to reunite a kingdom torn apart. With the fragile peace shattered and the sands running red, he, his sister Alma and a group of loyal companions fight to turn the tide. But betrayal and whispers of an ancient legend threaten his path - can you save Atra and its people before all is lost?

Lead Your People and Conquer the Unknown

The Pilgrim War expansion lets you command the Atramans, a fierce new faction with unique fighters shaped by the desert. Strengthen your lands with new buildings, arm your generals with custom items, and master the science wheel to gain the upper hand. Seize the throne by conquering the land (or outsmarting a friend) across one of six new maps.

Step onto the desert sands as Rising Lords - The Pilgrim War releases April 21 on PC (Steam/GOG), with consoles to follow later this year.
