SHANGHAI, China, April 25, 2024 — Lilith Games, the renowned studio behind Rise of Kingdoms, Dislyte, and the recently launched AFK Journey, is thrilled to announce the arrival today, alongside version 1.140 of its popular mobile idle RPG, AFK Arena, of the new Draconis faction. Celebrations for the fifth anniversary of the game are still ongoing, with even more activities and rewards coming for the 100 million players who joined the adventure since the game's launch in 2018. 

 

A sky-shattering new faction 

 

After four years, AFK Arena introduces a new faction with the release of version 1.140! The exiled Draconis emerge to aid the Lightbearer Empire in their battle against the Hypogeans. However, by revealing themselves to mortals after centuries of isolation, they unwittingly uncover an even darker plot. 

 

The new faction introduces a unique mechanism called "Scale Manifest," allowing heroes to transform from humanoids into powerful and visually stunning dragon forms during battles!

About AFK Arena 

Developed and published by Shanghai-based Lilith Games, AFK Arena is a F2P casual idler game for iOS and Android mobile devices. AFK Arena’s traditional role-playing themes and deep, lore-filled storyline are punctuated by its highly detailed, fairy tale-esque art style and smooth, precise gameplay. Boasting more than 100 hero units from seven separate factions, every hero possesses their own fleshed-out storyline. As the name suggests, AFK Arena “plays itself” while players have the freedom to enjoy the idle experience or take part in the game’s many active objectives, like progressing the storyline, which is divided into chapters. Leveling up in AFK Arena (during idle gameplay) means earning Diamonds, the in-game currency. Rewards are also earned through guild events, clearing labyrinths, completing weekly quests, and competing in ranked battles with other players’ teams. With enough Diamonds, players can summon new heroes and continue climbing the leveling system. Learn more at afkarena.lilith.com.
