OTTAWA, CANADA — June 2, 2026 — Northern Forge Studios, the independent game developer behind the global location-based RPG hit Orna: The GPS RPG, is inviting players deep into the world’s rainforests in its 2026 Green Game Jam event: Terra’s Legacy: Rainsong.
Beginning June 5, Orna players will travel across rainforest regions inspired by the Amazon, Congo, and New Guinea to investigate “The Final Bloom” - a mysterious cult that believes the destructive Murk are agents of rebirth sent by the planet Terra.
Finding the Rainsong
Throughout the event, players will work together to fill a global “Rolling Gloom Meter” by defeating members of The Final Bloom cult. As the meter progresses, hidden biome-portals begin opening into ancient jungle landscapes filled with escalating encounters, rare rewards, and new environmental challenges.
Unlike traditional mobile RPG events, Rainsong transforms real-world rainforest regions into explorable destinations within Orna’s GPS-based world. Each rainforest biome features its own progression path, including exclusive Dungeons, Monuments, Raids, and unique followers inspired by the biodiversity of these threatened ecosystems.
Rare Rainforest Followers and Equipment
Players can also earn new nature-themed equipment and summoning grimoires inspired by rainforest ecosystems and elemental storms. One of the headline rewards, the Hyades Wreath, grants access to “Rainsong”, a devastating water-element ability capable of drenching enemies in multi-hit storms.
Among the event’s most anticipated additions are several new wildlife-inspired followers:
- African Forest Elephant – a defensive powerhouse capable of trample attacks and massive ward support
- Bird of Paradise – a magical support follower inspired by New Guinea’s iconic rainforest species
- Three-Toed Sloth – a high-tier companion wielding devastating Titan-inspired abilities
Commenting on the event, Joshua O’Reilly, Marketing Mage at Northern Forge Studios:
“The Rainsong event is our third entry into the annual Green Game Jam initiative with
Playing4ThePlanet.org, alongside over 50 other game studios from around the world. We are all pushing to inspire environmental awareness through interactive experiences and game storytelling.
Through this year’s Green Game Jam, we’re encouraging players to explore the jungle, battle back against the old foe, Murk, and support the Rainforest Alliance alongside us. We hope players enjoy saving the planet together while playing their favorite game.”
Supporting the Rainforest Alliance
A portion of proceeds from a dedicated Terra’s Legacy: Rainsong in-game purchase will be donated to the Rainforest Alliance as part of this year’s Green Game Jam initiative.
Players can join the fight against The Final Bloom beginning June 5 by downloading Orna: The GPS RPG for free on iOS and Android.
Northern Forge Studios was delighted to be previously recognized during the 2025 Green Game Jam, where the studio received the Media Choice Award at the Playing for the Planet Awards in London, UK.
