Aug 1, 2025 – One year ago, Sword of Convallaria reignited the tactical RPG genre with its blend of Japanese turn-based strategy, nostalgic pixel art, and epic storytelling. Now, developer XD Games is marking the game’s first anniversary with its biggest update yet — bringing long-awaited story conclusions, exciting new game modes, beloved new characters, and a generous reward campaign for all players.
The Kingdom’s Fate Revealed
The anniversary update delivers the dramatic finale to the Kingdom of Iria storyline, closing a narrative arc that has captivated players for a full year. With over 120 hours of single-player content already in place, this climactic chapter adds emotional depth and payoff for long-time fans while setting the stage for what’s next in the world of Convallaria.
Two New Game Modes to Master
Beginning July 30, players can dive into [The Pioneering Odyssey], a new dual-part challenge mode that tests strategic team-building and unlocks powerful Ascension talents. Meanwhile, [Expedition] mode invites players to form exploration squads and venture deep into the Spiral, collecting Origin Gems to exchange for rare characters and weapons.
Introducing Inanna of Convallaria
On August 1, the spotlight shifts to Inanna of Convallaria, a brand-new banner summon featuring stunning design and formidable tactical strength. She leads the 1st Anniversary summon event alongside a guaranteed Legendary banner, allowing players to acquire unowned high-tier characters with every 10x pull. Rico joins the celebration later in the month with her own dedicated banner.
Log In, Get Rewarded
XD Games is giving back to the community with a cascade of anniversary gifts. Players will receive up to 20 free summons just for logging in, plus daily 10-pull rewards from August 1–7, and special sign-in events yielding rare materials, Secret Fates, and exclusive items. The Annual Review feature adds a personal touch, allowing players to reflect on their journey and earn even more rewards by sharing their stats.
