We have a very big announcement to make!!

We’re cooking. And not spaghetti.
Okay, maybe sometimes it’s spaghetti, but that's beside the point. What we mean is the next Kingdom Rush game is in the works!

Is it a Tower Defense? Absolutely. Is it full of our signature charm, gags and epic action? You betcha!
Have you seen the teaser? Check it out if you haven't already, or watch it again (we won't judge).

We're still figuring out how to time-travel to the future to get the release date.

In the meantime, you can stay updated with all the juicy development details by subscribing to the newsletter. There are perks like gifts and Sneak Peeks over there… just saying!

Hammerhold's in for a surprise.
They're bracing for a land attack from Linirea’s border, but Vez'nan has other plans. He sends you with the mighty Dark Army fleet for a lightning assault.
You'll strike the desert shores, catching the Legionnaires off guard. Beware, brave heroes will return, and they're not here for a cozy family gathering!

Listen, General! On the fateful day of December 14th, my mighty Dark Army will descend upon the realm of Steam, heralding the arrival of the Hammerhold Campaign DLC—a harbinger of chaos and conquest.

I demand nothing short of perfection from you, my loyal commander. Victory must be yours, or else… well, let’s just say I wouldn’t want to be in your shoes.

Let’s seize Hammerhold once and for all!

After many tough days in the harsh desert, our patrol was losing hope. Our mission was to check rumors of hidden tunnels, thought to be a shortcut through the desert. But the harsh sun and endless sands tested our endurance, and fatigue had begun to take its toll.

When it seemed we might never find the rumored path, one of our scouts noticed an unusual mark in the distant dunes. The tunnels! We thought this was the shortcut we needed, a crucial advantage for defending Hammerhold. And so, we ventured deep into the subterranean tunnels.

Our mistake became painfully clear when torchlight revealed hundreds of eggs. And then the realization daunted us. We weren't in ordinary tunnels; we were inside the Sandworm’s Nest! Before we had time to react, the eggs started to stir and crack open. Young worm-like creatures emerged with a loud shriek.

All at once, the sand beneath us began to shake, announcing the awakening of the fearsome Hollow Mother. With fierce maternal protectiveness, she rose to defend her realm. We fled in panic. Some were too slow. Their screams reverberated through the winding passages. Only a handful of us, myself included, narrowly escaped the chasing sandworms.

A foreboding sensation lingered. We knew she wouldn't easily forgive our intrusion, and her hunger for vengeance remained unquenched.

Dark followers, lend me your allegiance!

As we embark on the upcoming Hammerhold campaign, let the shadows of our conquest guide your hand to nominate our realm for the Steam Awards under 'Labor of Love.'

With love - Vez ːkrvloveː
