Posted in Idle Champions.

Today's update features our Second Anniversary Celebration, daily rewards for the next week, and a new high-level progression system we're calling the Patron System!

Patron System

The first Patrons have arrived! The Patron System is the basis for a new form of progression within Idle Champions. It allows you to replay previously completed variants and free plays with additional restrictions, and rewards you with patron currency and influence which can be used to purchase unique rewards and unlock unique perks.

We're releasing the bones of this system with our first 2 Patrons: Vajra Safahr, Blackstaff of Waterdeep, and Mirt the Moneylender! We'll continue to update the system in the coming weeks and months. For more information on the Patron System, check out our Patron System Developer Blog.

Anniversary Celebration


Today kicks off our second-anniversary celebration! On Sept 7, 2017 we launched on Steam, and it's been an AMAZING 2 years of live servicing. We're looking forward to many more! To celebrate, the birthday chests are back! Log in every day to collect a birthday chest, with handpicked items by the CNE team. If you collect 4 out of the 7 birthday chests, you can collect the anniversary chest which contains our first ever epic feat (for Celeste) as well as an exclusive Mind Flayer Hitch skin!

In addition to that, we've released the Patron System (see below) and a ton of new familiar and skin DLC packs to help you push further and get your formations set up! See the in-game Change Log for more information!

Idle Champions - 1st Anniversary! 
Posted in Idle Champions.

As of Friday, September 7th, Idle Champions has been live for a whole year - and what a year it's been!

In celebration of the past year and our amazing fans, we've lined up some fun for everyone. For the next 7 days, we'll have daily rewards for you to claim just for logging in!

Starting right now, and for the next 7 days you can log in and claim an Idle Champions Birthday Chest every day. There are 7 of them, and each one contains 4 items hand picked by the Codename Entertainment team to help you in your quests. What do they contain? Oh, just Time Gate pieces, Epic Blacksmithing Contracts, Epic Fire Breath Potions, and more! And if you wait very patiently, there might even be a Potion of Polish hidden in one of the chests!

If you claim 4 out of the 7 Birthday Chests during the Anniversary Celebration, you can claim the coveted Anniversary Chest. This epic chest contains 5 gold chests, a free Mimic familiar, and our first variant champion skin: Party-Time Jarlaxle.



We've also added new familars to the game: A Black Cat and a Faerie Dragon are available as paid DLC, and we've added new familiars that are available for gems: Evelyn's very own Armored Juniper, and Minsc's faithful companion Boo! Note: You have to have reached area 66 in an adventure to unlock familars.

We've added a new potion to the drop tables for chests: Potion of Speed. These potions increase the speed of the game for a short time, allowing you to clear those earlier levels faster when attempting to reach your wall!

We've also launched sales on many of our DLC packs during the week, as well as a chest bonus for any chest purchases you make in-game for the duration of the celebration.

And as a final candle on the anniversary cake, we've updated Idle Champions store! Now you can buy past champions in different packages that include their corresponding chests, AND we'll have rotating sales of champion-specific chests, with the corresponding golden epic that was available during their original event!
Note: that the store is updated in Steam currently, and will move to Android tablets and iPads in the coming days. So log in and join in the fun!

Announcing: Idle Champions 1st Anniversary!  
Posted in Idle Champions.

Welcome, to the introduction to our Idle Champions anniversary celebration! To start, no, it isn't live yet. We felt it was best to give all of our fans advanced notice, so you knew what to expect next week.

Starting on Wednesday September 5th, we're launching our Year 1 anniversary celebration. For 7 days, we'll have daily rewards for you to claim just for logging in!

Every day you can log in and claim an Idle Champions Birthday Chest. There are 7 of them, and each one contains 4 items hand picked by the Codename Entertainment team to help you in your quests. What do they contain? Oh, just Time Gate pieces, Epic Contracts & Potions, and more! Note: You have to be logged in and click the "CLAIM" button to receive your chest each day.

But wait, there's more!

If you claim 4 out of the 7 Birthday Chests during the Anniversary Celebration, you can collect the coveted Anniversary Chest. This epic chest contains 5 gold chests, a free Mimic familiar, and our first variant champion skin: Party-Time Jarlaxle.


But wait, there's more!

Thanks to the new familiar slots we released last week, we're launching new familiars during the anniversary celebration as well: A Black Cat and a Faerie Dragon will be available as paid DLC, and we'll also be releasing new familiars that are available for gems: Evelyn's very own Armored Juniper, and Minsc's faithful companion Boo!

But wait. there's more!

When the anniversary celebration launches, we'll add a new potion to the drop tables for chests: Potion of Speed. These potions increase the speed of the game for a short time, allowing you to clear those earlier levels faster when attempting to reach your wall!

Phew! There's a lot going on next week, but we still have plenty going on this weekend as well!
  • It's a Time Gate weekend, so log in and visit Kaylaar who will help you collect and/or gear up past event champions.
  • Come visit us at the Table Titans booth at PAX!
  • We also have our ongoing in-game promotion with High Rollers. Complete ANY adventure, variant (like, maybe a few Time Gate Adventures!), or free play and earn points to give the High Rollers crew Idle Champion D6s for them to use on the stream and earn yourself some sweet rewards!
