You can begin playing brand new content in Exiled Kingdoms right now by becoming a Beta-Tester!

This update introduces some new mid and high-level content, allows a new mage build based on melee weapons and introduces a new difficulty level(Story) to make the game more fun to casual players. It also enables an option to permanently reduce the difficulty of an already started game. If you play in a language other than English or Spanish, please understand that the new content will take some time to be translated.

This is a free upgrade for everyone. Enjoy.
