It’s been a few months since we heard much out of Conqueror’s Blade, which moved home to its original studio for publishing earlier this year. In March, we got a massive injection of Korean culture in the strategy MMO in its Silla-Era update. Now, we’re looking ahead to Season 24, Sacrum Romanum, which introduces the new Doppelsoldner unit, Zealot unit, the new battle pass, and a new server too.
“The Doppelsoldner are an elite infantry unit hailing from the ranks of mercenaries in the Holy Roman Empire during the late 15th and early 16th centuries,” Poros Interactive says. “Named for the heavy two-handed swords they bore and the double wages they earned, these warriors fought on the very front lines, risking their lives for twice the pay of ordinary mercenaries. Founded by Emperor Maximilian I to counter the famed Swiss mercenaries, the unit was composed primarily of seasoned veterans. Their weapon – the flamberge two-handed greatsword – measured up to 180 centimeters in length and weighed over 3.5 kilograms, specially crafted and carried wrapped in leather for protection.”
Meanwhile, the Zealot…
“is the most devout force under the Cross, and the guardian of the Empire’s faith. Clad in Milanese plate, wielding the sacred shield and the hammer of judgement, they form unbreakable ranks to defend the faith, purging heresy with punishing blows. Each of them was once a faithful believer — their souls aflame with fervor, ever ready to sacrifice in this endless war. Yet, years of battling darkness have stained them with madness. When faced with endless waves of heretics, the Zealots’ suppressed thirst for blood erupts. They cast aside their shields, tear off the uniform of order, and become twin-hammered judges. Now, the Hammer blazes with divine fire: each strike explodes in fury, unleashing righteous wrath on all enemies.”
Pre-registration for the new server is live now; the season begins September 19th.
