Shadow of Aelion Update Now Live on Nintendo Switch

Breach the final frontier in the Shadow of Aelion content update, now available for Skyforge on Nintendo Switch! There’s a new open region to explore, 18 Class Talents to unlock, Aelion Day celebrations to partake in, a new Invasion to overcome, and much more. You can also gear up for your moon landing with new Pathfinder Packs, available from Nintendo eShop!


NEW OPEN REGION: THEA

Thea is Aelion's largest satellite and its first outpost. As Immortal-kind begins to extend its helping hand across the cosmos, it will prove to be a crucial first step in the exploration of worlds beyond. The moon’s low gravity makes it a unique location to traverse, with its rugged, rocky landscape far removed from the luscious landscapes of Aelion. This brand-new open region can be explored at your leisure, but beware of dangerous locals (including… Mechanoids?!) and hazardous atmospheric conditions like meteorite showers!

AELERIUM-9

A highly-coveted natural resource can be mined on Thea: Aelerium-9. This resource is valuable to Immortals, who can use it to attain new Class Talents! However, according to reports from Mission Control, Aelion’s enemies have also locked it in their sights… you’ll have to drive away the Corgs if you want to get your hands on it!

18 NEW CLASS TALENTS

Heroic exploits on Thea will be rewarded with Aelerium-9. Complete quests to earn 10,000 Aelerium-9, then challenge the almighty Kairax Cluster to a boss battle for the ages. When your foe is vanquished, you can unlock one of 18 new Class Talents (there’s one for each class in Skyforge). Here are some of the new Class Talents available in the Shadow of Aelion update:

  • Lunar Talisman (Lightbinder): When an ally under the Lightbinder’s aura receives fatal damage, they will get a shield. The effect of this talent has a long cooldown duration.
  • Space Mist (Necromancer): Summoned allies of the Necromancer get a boost. Ghostly Vipers have considerably more health, Ghostly Skeletons pull in enemies and inflict damage on them, and Ghostly Carrion can inflict damage from a distance. When Shield of the Banished absorbs enhanced allies, it also restores a large amount of the Necromancer's health.
  • Dark Side (Witch): Explosion of Darkness inflicts additional impulse damage if applied after using the Living Helper effect for 3 or more seconds.
  • Deadly Crescent (Revenant): Punishment inflicts 100% more damage to enemies with less than 50% health.
  • Starfall (Firestarter): At the maximum energy level, Incinerating Rain lasts 6 seconds longer. Damage from the ultimate ability may also stun the target for 2 seconds (only once).
  • Music of the Spheres (Soundweaver): Rhythm of Courage now restores 3% of maximum health to allies every second for the first 10 seconds. The effect gets weaker after that, restoring 1% of health every 2 seconds.
