KUALA LUMPUR — November 19, 2024 – LTG Studio is excited to announce Life is Feudal: Arden, an evolved version of the popular MMORPG, set to begin a Closed Beta Test in December 2024. This game introduces a meticulously crafted map shaped by community feedback and a Free-to-Play (F2P) monetization model, making the game accessible to a broader audience. Arden unveils an enriched medieval world with high-stakes territorial battles and detailed, intricate landscapes. Enhanced mechanics and new buildings promise a more immersive and dynamic experience for new and returning players.
The key change of Life is Feudal: Arden is its handcrafted map. The new map introduces a compact, highly detailed landscape with more points of interest for greater action and adventure. It is optimized for fortified structures and farming while encouraging intense competition for land and more frequent encounters between players and guilds. Arden also introduces updated mechanics, including an overhauled crafting and character progression system, enhanced Judgement Hours for PvP battles, group PvP arenas, and new buildings, making gameplay richer and more engaging for all participants.
“We've been actively engaging with the Life is Feudal: MMO community to improve the game for both veteran and new players. Arden isn’t just a relaunch; it's a full release with numerous changes, molded by community input and our own ideas. We’re grateful for the passion our players bring and are committed to expanding Arden with new features and mechanics to make it engaging for an even broader audience,” says Mikhail Goshkadera, Executive Producer at LTG Studio.
LTG Studio plans to launch a Closed Beta Test designed for experienced players in December 2024. This phase will focus on continuous gameplay testing, with new features and updates gradually introduced throughout the test period. Player feedback will be collected at every stage to drive improvements, ensuring an enhanced experience for the game community. All players who had purchased at least one month of subscription to the LTG version of Life is Feudal: MMO will automatically receive free access to the Closed Beta Test. For a broader audience, Early Access packs are available on the publisher’s website: lifeisfeudalarden.com.
Key Features:
New handcrafted Arden map featuring dedicated PvP and PvE zones, along with improved areas for constructing fortifications and cultivating land. With a more compact world, players will encounter each other more frequently, intensifying competition and strategic depth on every piece of territory.
Brand new mixed PvPvE zones where players face off against each other and hostile NPC inhabitants, the Knools. These zones bring fresh tactical challenges as Knools now control strategic areas, intensifying resource competition and territorial conflicts.
Reinvented crafting system: All recipes for weapons and armor have been revised and simplified, with top-tier equipment available only through special challenges.
Redesigned trade posts: Instant item transfer has been removed. Players must now deliver items to the appropriate post, adding strategic depth and new opportunities for enterprising players.
Regional Judgement Hours: Combat times are now location-based, allowing guilds to select suitable regions for battles and alliances.
Group PvP Arenas: Players can battle in teams against other players—a great chance to hone skills and strengthen combat connections.
New buildings and structures: A vast selection of new buildings for all aspects of feudal life, including crafting, farming, warfare, and everyday life.
The Open Beta Test will begin after the completion of the Closed Beta, with an exact launch date to be announced soon. This stage will introduce Life is Feudal: Arden as a free-to-play experience on Steam, making it accessible to an even broader audience. Early Access pack holders will be able to join the Open Beta a few days before the official public release, giving them a first look at the F2P model and a head start in exploring the game.
