WORLDWIDE, May 18, 2026 — Tavernlight Games announced Rise of Tyrants, a free expansion for its MMORPG RavenQuest arriving on May 23rd. The expansion introduces the Tyrant System. RavenQuest's first dedicated endgame PvE group content expansion, built around five uniquely designed boss encounters that demand coordination, strategy, and mastery from five-player parties.
What's Coming May 23rd:
- Five mechanically distinct Tyrants — The Sun King, The Master of the Hunt, The Mad Scientist, The War Drummer and The Elemental Storm, each bring unique phase shifts, environmental hazards, and fight mechanics that go far beyond a stat check. No two encounters play alike.
- Sigil difficulty tiers — Escalating challenge modifiers that increase both difficulty and rewards, letting groups push further each week and compete for leaderboard dominance.
- Relics — A new permanent progression layer tied to each Tyrant, granting stackable bonuses, up to +50% Gemstone chance and +50% Renown, for players who collect and upgrade all five.
- Also launching May 23rd : Also included: A major Rangers Company overhaul with a self-balancing hunt system, 14 new spawn locations, Marketplace improvements, an expanded Munk Carnival with new games and a Munk Luck System for Legendary Pets.
"Rise of Tyrants brings the endgame group PvE content RavenQuest players have been asking for, fights that truly challenge coordination and reward mastery, not just gear."
— Nicolas Schrik, Game Director of Tavernlight Games
