'Conqueror's Blade' Season VIII: Dynasty Launches Next Week - Trailer

by Rainier on July 1, 2021 @ 10:58 a.m. PDT

Combining both heroic action combat with tactical troop maneuvers, Conqueror's Blade allows players to experience authentic medieval warfare as they command fearsome armies.

Booming Games' proprietary engine, CHAOS, delivers a seamless experience, even with thousands of troops onscreen at once, as well as authentic effects, such as fire and explosions, and diverse weather events, including thunderstorms and sandstorms. Stunningly detailed graphics replicate the weapons, armor and equipment of actual medieval troops. The game requires strategic thinking and skillful use of resources, as players must deploy the best army for the battle at hand from a wide selection of both Eastern and Western Legions, powerful Generals, and thousands of weapons.  

Battles are fought in a vast sandbox landscape several thousand kilometers wide, where players seek to conquer lands and reign over their own Kingdom. Mirroring our own world the terrain features high mountains, deep rivers and fierce deserts, and populated by a variety of nations and cultures. Players may acquire territory to build their own House and Kingdom and fight to defend them.

Conqueror's Blade features Match PvP, Match PvE and Big World PvPvE. Match PvP features five different battles, including a 15v15 multi-stage siege offense vs defense skirmishwhere the offense must take the defense's flag by selecting from one or two established attack routes. In Death Match, 8v8 or 5v5 sides must kill more Generals before time runs out. Match PvE features two different battles where players escort an NPC and protect it from enemy NPC attack.

In Big World PvPvE, an all-out war ensues in which players compete against each other to occupy territory as well as the AI defenders who hold it. This mode includes two Stronghold War capture the flag-type contests. Stronghold Wars feature up to 15v15 battling simultaneously. Both sides have a flag that cannot be taken at the beginning, along with a neutral flag. The side that captures the neutral flag may attack the enemy's side, and if successful, may occupy their flag for a limited time. The defense wins if it can protect all its flags until the end of the game. In Stronghold Wars, Generals can be revived, but the Legion chosen by the General cannot.


Conqueror’s Blade Season VIII: Dynasty is launching as a free update on July 8, 2021.

Ushering in a new golden age of warfare inspired by ancient Chinese history, Season VIII brings with it new units, an epic new map, and a new playable weapon class: the Pike.

Inspired by the real history of the Tang Dynasty—whose near 300-year rule brought a cultural and cosmopolitan golden age to China—Season VIII: Dynasty features an anthology of stories across a new Campaign, spotlighting crucial moments in time that gave rise to the mighty Qian Dynasty. Players can discover these legends as they traverse Longting, a new starting region influenced by the ancient lands of East Asia, and its capital—the thriving metropolis of Hao Jing, a huge city where players can meet in peace away from the battlefield.

With a new age of warfare dawning, the game’s arsenal has been upgraded. The roster of available Weapon Classes will soon expand to 12 with the introduction of the Pike. This thrusting spear can dish out long-reaching attacks to keep enemy units out of melee range, while its devastating combos hammer the point home.

Players can unlock and command three new Seasonal Units inspired by the heroes and legends of Longting’s history: Cudgel Monks (3-Star), peaceful protectors skilled in martial arts who detest war yet heed its call when there is no other way; the Greyhair Garrison (4-Star), weathered yet doggedly determined veterans of a doomed siege; and the Modao Battalion (4-Star), a disciplined and elite force deployed often as first-wave attackers. The Unit Tree will also bear new fruit, with Shenji Grenadiers arriving as an unlockable 5-Star unit!

These new warriors can be deployed to defend or attack Linwu Fortress (launching later in Season VIII), a legendary stronghold whose defenders once held out for 40 years in the face of insurmountable odds. This new Siege map invites two teams of 10 players to battle for supremacy over it, and is certain to be the theatre for countless epic battles throughout the season and beyond.

The Season VIII Battle Pass is available to pre-purchase now, giving players bonus content when purchased before July 8. Over 100 levels of Premium rewards can be earned including the spectacular Wrathful Emperor Hero Attire, Shadow Legion Unit Attire, Iron Warrior Hero Attire, new Emotes, weapon skins, and so much more. There are also two pre-order packs available that will unlock the Pike weapon class, bonus skills, and other special content immediately at launch (the Pike is also unlockable via free in-game challenges). 

Key Features:

  • Massive Battles and Sieges: With commanders perched at ramparts and enormous trebuchets hurling burning boulders at the battling armies, Conqueror’s Blade delivers unforgettable battlescapes and a visceral medieval combat experience. With more than 1000 units charging the enemy at the same time, 30 commanders and their wisely chosen, battle-hardened troops will face off in attempts to outmaneuver the opposition. The players are the vanguard; personally, protecting the battering rams while under fire from death-dealing arrows - all while looking to exploit an overextended enemy and secure the choke points required to emerge victorious.
  • Medieval Cultural Clashes: Capturing warfare at the peak of medieval rivalry, Conqueror’s Blade sets up conflicts between military forces that have never crossed swords. Players will choose from ten commanders, each with their own fighting style and weaponry. Can a Japanese nodachi withstand a clash against a Swiss halberd, and will be a Hospitaller’s lance be swift enough to charge a recurved Mongol bow? Answers to centuries-old questions will be finally settled on the field of battle.
  • Conquest of an Open World: Conqueror’s Blade’s war theater is a persistent open world divided by regions with unique landscapes, resources and cultures. Players explore the fictional, mysterious heart-shaped continent for as far as their army can take them -- and where skirmishes over resources are inevitable. A key task for player guilds is how to organize their commanders and cooperatively plot to conquer each region, all while building and upgrading infrastructure and recruiting for the armies that will protect the spoils of war.
  • Trade and economic system: Kingdoms will wither and die without healthy trade, so set up your economy with an eye on the markets and diplomatic options open: it makes all the difference between a house and an empire! Trade coins and items at the Auction House, buy basic equipment from Merchants, or take risks on the Black Market to sell off rare materials for silver or gold.

Starting today, players can register on cb.my.com and take their first steps in creating their empire’s epic saga.
