- AEGIS Kingdoms – Open Weekends (Delayed to 2025)

Summary:
2024 has been a good year with some big technical additions behind the scenes, with the new AEGIS Account system, which seamlessly integrates with the forums and game database. A nice lot of quality of life updates have been added to AEGIS Kingdoms including persistent name tag preferences, chatbox message retention (pressing up cycles through the messages you’ve sent), escape finally closes open in-game windows, sheathing and weapon switch hotkeys, as well as finally Level Agnostic Gameplay to fit the horizontal gameplay progression that you’ve come to know about AEGIS Kingdoms.
The biggest addition to AEGIS Kingdoms has been the Factions update, which brings in a whole host of new content.
Unfortunately the Open Weekends has been pushed back into 2025 due to delays with the Battlegrounds update, which is expected late November 2024.
Fun and surprises are planned for the Sixth Annual AEGIS Christmas Party.
2023
- AEGIS’ Fourth Anniversary (1st Jan ’23)
- New Armour Sets for AEGIS Kingdoms (Q2, Q3)
- Weapon Skills for AEGIS Kingdoms (Q3)
- Gathering Skills for AEGIS Kingdoms (Q4)
- Crafting Skills for AEGIS Kingdoms (Q4)
- The Fifth Annual AEGIS Christmas Party (Q4) ❌
Summary:
2023 was and up and down year for us. There was both good things and challenges. Some big issues arose in development and some design changes had to be made in relation to this, causing increased development time for AEGIS Kingdoms.
However some foundational features have been added including the trade and combat skills, and more are being developed through into 2024.
We did want Alpha Island to open us this year, but purposely chose to spend more time in development rather than deliver an experience we weren’t 100% happy with.
We sadly missed our annual Christmas party due to a conflicting schedule this year. Additionally Josh & Connor development began as a gift to our family and friends for supporting us. It’s been a fun little project to get into and we hope it makes you smile.
2022
- AEGIS’ Third Anniversary (1st Jan 2022)
- AEGIS Kingdoms Steam Store page
- AEGIS Kingdoms Community Clash IV
- The Fourth Annual AEGIS Christmas Party
Summary:
2022 was a great year for AEGIS Game Studios. We were able to do a major test for AEGIS Kingdoms for all the ground work being made, host our 4th Community Clash which featured a lot of these features and had a fantastic Christmas party at the end of the year!
