What’s coming to XD Games’ tactical RPG
Shanghai, China — July 24, 2026 | XD Games has today revealed how they’re marking the second anniversary of their free-to-play tactical RPG Sword of Convallaria and teasing what’s to come in the next major story arc, The Luccian Tundra.
Watch the Sword of Convallaria 2nd Anniversary Special Preview below:
To celebrate the game’s latest milestone, XD Games is releasing the A Nostalgic Bond memoir, an opportunity for all Voyagers — from 31 July to 27 August — to reflect on the biggest moments from the past year (and earn rewards in the process).
Additionally, players can look forward to receiving a commemorative gift via in-game mail containing a series of rewards like an Anniversary Cake furniture item, resources, a limited avatar frame and more on 1 August.
Players can also take part in the Galactic Remnants log-in event to earn even more daily rewards or try Astral Surfing to try and earn rewards to power up their companions even faster.
Plus, new and returning players who haven’t logged in for over 45 days can unlock the special Vow of Reunion summon the first time they log in and get the chance to choose which two heroes they want an increased summon rate for.
Once those festivities are underway, players can look forward to Sword of Convallaria’s latest story arc, which takes them to the frozen plains of Luccia, the northernmost reaches of Rodinia. This new expansion will play out in two parts, with the next update containing two complete stories, each released in full for Voyagers to experience from beginning to end.
From 31 July, players can dive into Sagas of Ice and Blood, which sees Luccia facing a winter unlike any other, and sees the realm’s resilient residents facing life-or-death trials. Story two, Frostheart, takes players back in time to Year 980, shortly after the Luccian Empire’s defeat in the Second Radiant War, and is due to launch on 25 September.
Players can look forward to meeting four new companions in the new season: Ulya, a streetwise gadgeteer who can buff her allies on the battlefield, Rogneda, the Scion of Luccia who can fight in human or her Golden Lion form, Anna, the mysterious leader of The Forsaken, and Alexei, who returns with more refined combat skills as Alexei – Snowstride.
The new update will also introduce the brand-new strategy event Hunt on the Frozen Plains. This new event offers three branching modes designed to test players’ mettle on the battlefield: the standard Coldwind Hunting Grounds, the one-team challenge mode Endless March, and the boss gauntlet, Frostcataclysm.
Finally, XD Games are happy to confirm that they are planning the second in-person Sword of Convallaria community meet-up. Event details are expected to be shared across official social channels soon.

Sword of Convallaria is available now on PC, iOS and Android.
