Full Steam announcements and update articles for this title.
Hi everyone!
Within the next two weeks we plan to launch the first Public Test Server of the new version of our beloved game. For those who haven't been following the news over the past year, or who have only just joined us, our team has completely rewritten the game on a new engine, both the server and the client side.
We did this for several reasons at once. It lets us implement features that were simply impossible before, it opens the door to porting the game to mobile platforms, browser and consoles, and it significantly improves performance.
However, our number one priority at this stage is to fully preserve the spirit of the game. Right now we're working hard to make sure the average player won't feel any difference when moving from the old client-server platform to the new one. Our dedicated testers have spent months hunting bugs and reporting them, and a huge number have already been fixed. Now it's time to show the new game to you, the players.
It will also let us run a server stress test and figure out exactly how much capacity we'll need to support our servers once we move to the new platform.
Here's how I picture the public test. Every player who wants to take part will start from level 1. We'll create a dedicated Discord thread where you can post bugs, suggestions and criticism. While I'm sure many of you will be curious just to log in and try the new client and server, we still need a proper stress test, and for that we need as many players as possible. That's why I'm considering giving a reward on the main server for reaching a certain level on the test server.
Stay tuned. More news about the test is coming very soon.
Major Update — March 9: The Golden Age Season Hello everyone! It’s time to talk about the major update arriving on March 9. Maintenance will begin on March 9 at 10:00 AM (server time) and will last approximately 1 hour. Battle Pass NPCs will be disabled on March 8 at 22:00 server time. Make sure to spend your Battle Pass coins before the new season begins, as all coins will be removed when the season resets. Originally, we planned to launch the Subclass System in this update. However, after further development we realized that the system requires much more time for balancing, testing, and polishing. Because of this, the upcoming season will focus on improving and balancing existing gameplay systems, fixing bugs, and polishing the overall experience. The new season is called: The Golden Age Below is the list of changes arriving with the update. -------------------------------------------------- Castle Siege Rework Castle Ownership Changes The castle-owning guild will no longer defend the castle. Every Sunday at 14:00, the current castle owner automatically loses ownership and joins the list of attackers alongside the other guilds. All guilds will now start the siege under equal conditions. If no guild captures the throne by the end of the siege, the castle will remain without an owner for the following week. Siege Preparation At Sunday 14:00, all players are removed from the following maps: • Valley of Loren • Throne Room • Library • Land of Trials The maps are then reopened to ensure a fair start for everyone. Siege mechanisms and statues now automatically reset every Monday during the weekly reset. The repair NPC in the Library has been removed. Siege Registration If the castle has an owner: • The two guilds with the highest Sign of Lord bids will be selected • The owner is automatically added as the third participant If the castle has no owner, the top 3 guilds by bids will be selected as before. Level Requirement Teleporting to siege maps now requires Level 89 or higher. Fix An issue where about 1% of siege participants were not properly registered and could not receive rewards has been fixed. -------------------------------------------------- Consul Assassination Changes Consul HP is now configured separately for each server: Olympia — 150,000 HP Elysium — 600,000 HP Kill requirements for Zodiac Energy rewards have been reduced: 20 → 10 kills 100 → 50 kills 200 → 90 kills New Status: Killer’s Spirit When receiving a Poisoned Cake from the Apothecary, the player gains 20 seconds of complete invulnerability. -------------------------------------------------- Olympiad Changes Battle Windows Matches now take place: Morning: 10:00 – 10:30 Evening: 22:00 – 22:30 Requirements and Rewards Minimum level increased to 130 (previously 85). Maximum matches per day reduced to 2 (previously 10). New rewards: Victory — 500 Battle Pass coins Defeat — 250 Battle Pass coins -------------------------------------------------- Shop Updates A new universal costume for all classes has been added. Titan Costume Stats: HP +8000 MP +400 Physical Defense +200 Magical Defense +150 The costume is available from the Titan Chest. A Dragon Mount Chest has also been added to the shop. One of four new dragon mounts can drop from this chest. -------------------------------------------------- Battle Pass Updates The Battle Pass shop has been redesigned. New shop items include: Holy Box III (10kk EXP) — 900 Quartz Plate 3 — 4500 Goddess Stone — 3000 Holy Box IV (100kk EXP) — 7000 Red Gem — 100 Quartz Plate 4 — 5000 Yellow Gem — 100 Energy Holy Water — 200 Blue Gem — 100 Zeus' Power Vessel III — 500 Green Gem — 100 Opal — 1200 Battle Pass level rewards have also been updated. The main reward of the season is a chest containing one of the new dragon mounts. Battle Pass missions have also been updated. -------------------------------------------------- Larissa Monster Balance Monsters on the Larissa map have become significantly stronger. Regular monsters are now 25% stronger compared to Delphi Forest (HP, damage, accuracy). Elite monsters and the boss have also been increased by 25%. Monster accuracy has been increased and monster distribution in some parts of the map has been changed. -------------------------------------------------- Other Changes The item "Book: Thebes Portal" has been added to item merchants: Anemone (Athens 97, -155) Aglaia (Sparta 97, -155) Price: 100,000 silver
Geodata has been updated in the Pindus and Valley of Loren locations. Players will no longer be able to block altars in Pindus or teleport NPCs in Valley of Loren using characters.
The teleport mechanics for castle owners during sieges have been adjusted.
Previously, castle owners were teleported directly into the Throne Room. After the update, castle owners will now be teleported into the castle courtyard, from where they can enter the Throne Room via a dedicated NPC.
Several important improvements have been made to the Consul Assassination event:
Portal scrolls to the Corinth Isthmus will now teleport players to a random location on their own side of the map during the event.
Safe zones have been added near NPCs that provide Poisoned Cakes, preventing entry points from being blocked and ensuring fair access for both factions.
A new B-Gold reward coefficient system has been introduced based on faction participation.
Reward Coefficient System
The faction with more participants always has a coefficient of 1.0.
The faction with fewer participants can receive a coefficient of up to 1.2 in the case of a twofold or greater numerical disadvantage.
A coefficient greater than 1 is applied only if the faction reduces the enemy Consul’s HP to 400,000 or lower.
Updated reward formulas:
Winners: Character Level × 30 × coefficient
Losers: Character Level × 20 × coefficient
Examples:
Previously, a level 140 character on the losing side with half the number of players received: 140 × 20 = 2,800 B-Gold
Now, if the enemy Consul’s HP is reduced to 400,000 or below: 140 × 20 × 1.2 = 3,360 B-Gold
If the outnumbered faction wins: 140 × 30 × 1.2 = 5,040 B-Gold
Additional scaling examples:
10% disadvantage → coefficient 1.02
20% disadvantage → coefficient 1.04
50% disadvantage → coefficient 1.1
The HP of Consuls for both factions has been increased to 600,000 HP (previously 500,000 HP).
Updated Consul guide:
https://wiki.godsarena.online/books/godsarena-godswar/page/consul-assassination
Monster levels in Demeter’s Garden have been increased. Loot will now properly drop for level 140 characters.
A new page with siege history and past winners has been added to the website:
https://godsarena.online/ratings_siege
Over the coming days, we will closely monitor how these balance changes affect gameplay, gather statistics and player feedback, and continue improving event and faction balance.
Thank you for playing and supporting the game!

Hello everyone!
On Saturday at 9:00 AM server time, we will perform scheduled maintenance and install a new update. The expected maintenance duration is 30 minutes.
Below is the full list of changes included in this update.
Monster EXP rates have been increased by 30% for the Christmas holidays. This bonus will remain active until January 7.
A special Christmas event has been added to the game.
Santa Claus has arrived in the capital cities.
The cities are now filled with Christmas reindeer.
During the event:
You can receive a Snowman Costume (14 days) from Santa Claus.
Each day, you can obtain 99 Santa Gloves to catch reindeer.
Captured reindeer reward Christmas Socks, which can be exchanged at Santa Claus for:
Gifts
Character EXP
Pet EXP
Talent EXP
A permanent Christmas costume that increases character HP
The Festival Guide will distribute B-Gold from December 24 to December 31.
A new rollback system for instance entry attempts has been implemented.
If the server shuts down due to an error, or if you enter an instance shortly before maintenance and cannot complete it, your entry attempt will be restored. After the server restarts, you will be able to enter the instance again.
This system applies to the following instances:
Demeter’s Garden
Medusa
Medusa II
Atlantis Portal
Wonderland
Important: To receive the rollback, you must log into the game within one hour after the server restarts.
Several changes have been made to the Castle Siege mechanics:
The defensive siege buff is now granted to all players upon entering Valley of Loren and the Throne Room.
The teleportation system to Valley of Loren has been reworked:
If at least one gate of the first wall is destroyed, attackers will spawn at the second wall.
If at least one gate of the second wall is destroyed, attackers will spawn at the third wall.
If the third wall gates are destroyed, attackers will spawn directly in the castle courtyard.
Castle owners are reminded to repair gate mechanisms damaged during the previous siege. Unrepaired gates allow attackers to reach the Throne Room much faster.
The next update will be released at the very end of the year and will focus on fixing existing gameplay issues, as well as implementing selected community suggestions.
Thank you for your support, and we wish you a wonderful holiday season! The GodsArena Team
Hello everyone!
We are still finishing this week’s update, but we are ready to announce the maintenance date and time, as well as the full list of upcoming changes.
Saturday, 9:00 AM – 10:00 AM server time
You will receive an in-game notification 10 minutes before maintenance begins. A client update will be required.
The NPC who upgrades your mounts now allows you to extract Soul Stones from them. You can now reduce a mount’s level and receive the Soul Stones back.
Rewards have been updated:
Winners now receive a Holy Box II containing 1,000,000 EXP and 2,000,000 Pet EXP.
Losers now receive a box containing 500,000 EXP and 1,000,000 Pet EXP.
We will be monitoring how these new rewards affect interest in the event and may adjust them further.
The amount of resources in the Demeter’s Garden instance has been increased by 30%.
A new NPC has been added to automate routine actions such as activating EXP, Talent EXP, and Pet EXP stones.
You may now hand over stacks of 99 items and instantly receive the rewards inside. At this stage, the Helper works only with Tier 1 items (e.g., Morning Dew 1). Support for higher-tier items may be added later.
A short 5-quest exploration chain has been added to Thebes. Completing all quests grants a Teleport to Thebes Skill Book.
The layout of Thebes has been updated to improve navigation. The areas for Siege, Frostheim, and the Battle Pass now have dedicated locations. All major NPCs are now protected from being blocked by player characters and will always remain accessible.
Several improvements have been made:
The unintended wall teleport issue has been removed.
A special Siege buff has been added for all players entering the Throne Room. This buff applies in Valley of Loren, Throne Room, and Thebes, and provides increased defense to Guild Masters, their Deputies, and guild members.
When teleporting into the Throne Room, players will now appear at one of several randomized spawn points.
We are continuing to explore the possibility of adding a Guild vs. All mode for siege maps. We cannot guarantee technical feasibility yet, but we aim to at least remove friendly-fire from guild members by the next siege.
An updated siege guide is available here:
https://wiki.godsarena.online/books/godsarena-godswar/page/castle-siege
The Gear Mentor NPC can now add a 5th stat to your Class 3 items.
Important: If you convert Class 3 items back to normal items, the 5th stat will be permanently lost.
We are now beginning work on the Christmas update, which will include:
A festive mount
Holiday costumes
A special seasonal event
Increased EXP rates throughout the holidays
B-Gold giveaways and additional surprises
Thank you for your support.
Friends, we are ready to tell you about the new update and the new Battle Pass season, which will start on December 1.
Maintenance will begin on December 1 at 10:00 AM server time and will last for approximately two hours.
Once again, we remind you that Battle Pass coins will be reset at the start of the new season. Be sure to spend your remaining coins before December 1.
We believe that any MMO project thrives thanks to its community, social connections, and friendships. This update focuses on strengthening the role of guilds in the game.
The primary PvP activity of the game is now the Castle Siege. Owning the castle means being recognized as the strongest guild on the server. Capturing the castle is not only about character strength but also about tactical planning and leadership.
A guild that can organize an effective strategy and a leader capable of coordinating many players will have the best chance to claim and hold the castle.
A detailed guide is available on our updated wiki:
GodsArena Wiki
All guides from the website have been migrated to the wiki and updated. New guides will also appear there.
The siege will take place every Sunday from 3:00 PM to 4:00 PM server time. All players may participate in the first phase, including members of attacking guilds, neutral guilds, and even players without a guild.
During the first phase, players must destroy the gate mechanisms and push through three defensive walls to enter the castle courtyard.
Rewards for progressing through the walls:
First wall: 500 Battle Pass coins
Second wall: 1000 Battle Pass coins
Third wall: 1500 Battle Pass coins
Passing through all three walls grants a total of 1500 coins. Gate-breaking is now also a permanent Battle Pass quest.
A guild that captures the castle will own it until the next siege. If no other guild manages to take the castle in a following siege, ownership continues.
The main reward for the castle-owning guild is access to a special location where, every four hours, 20 dragons spawn. These dragons drop Jevel of Guardian, which can be used in the castle forge to craft valuable reward chests, including items such as pet rebirth water.
Registration for the first siege will open after maintenance and run until 12:00 AM on Tuesday, giving players approximately 12 hours to register.
A key part of preparing for the siege is collecting Sign of Lord (SOL) throughout the week. Guilds earn SOL by participating in Frostheim, receiving an amount equal to the number of enemies they defeat.
SOL must be submitted to the Siege Manager NPC during the week. On Sunday at 14:00 server time, the three guilds with the highest SOL contributions will become the official attackers and gain access to the castle’s Throne Hall.
This season’s Battle Pass features updated rewards, including the main highlight:
Aerophant – the new thematic mount
The Aerophant mount has movement speed equivalent to the Stratopteros mount.
The new Battle Pass season will run until February 28. In the second half of December, we will release the Christmas update and a special holiday event to celebrate Christmas and the New Year.
Thank you for staying with us and being part of the GodsArena Online community.
28 November 2025, 7:00 AM (server time) to 29 November 2025, 10:00 PM (server time)
During this period, any amount of gold you transfer from the website to the game will receive a 40% bonus.
Example: If you top up your account for 10 dollars, you will receive 5000 gold on the website. When transferring this gold into the game, you will get a total of 7000 gold.
The percentage of Battle Pass Coins earned from gold transfers will be doubled from 5% to 10% for the duration of the event.
This Battle Pass season ends on November 30 at 10:00 PM (server time). After this time, you will not be able to complete or accept quests. All Battle Pass Coins will be reset at the start of the next season on December 1.
Please remember to spend your coins.
Our next news post will be published on November 29 with details about the upcoming update.
Stay tuned.
Hello everyone,
I wanted to take a moment to share what’s happening behind the scenes and keep you up to date on our current progress.
Half of our development team is currently investigating the cause of sudden client crashes. We don’t yet have a final fix, but several hypotheses are being tested. This issue is our top priority right now.
The other half of the team is already preparing content for the new Battle Pass season. Here’s a small teaser: the upcoming major update will include new guild-related content, while solo players will also receive new features and rewards to enjoy.
We’ve implemented a new system that allows new Steam players to receive referral bonuses. If you invite a friend to play through Steam, they’ll be able to enter your Referral ID within 24 hours after creating their account here:
https://godsarena.online/referral
Please note:
This system applies only to new Steam accounts registered within the last 24 hours (server time).
It does not apply to previously existing Steam accounts.
Accidentally leveled up past level 89? No problem! You can now request a free level rollback through our Support Center to revert your character back to level 89.
This feature is only available for level 90 characters. Characters above level 90 (91, 92, etc.) are not eligible.
Thank you all for your patience, feedback, and continued support. We’re working hard every day to make GodsArena Online even better.
See you in the game!
— The GodsArena Online Team
Hello everyone,
Tomorrow at 8:00 AM server time (your local time may vary), we will perform scheduled maintenance. The update will take approximately 1 hour to complete.
We are transferring the item storage tables from the website to the game’s internal database. This change will significantly improve the speed and performance of the Web Storage feature. From now on, only crafting materials can be moved to the web storage. This limitation is necessary, as the continuous growth of the web storage database was slowing down all operations related to it.
Fixed an issue where defeating the bird boss in the Wonderland instance prevented players from progressing further.
The Halloween event has officially ended and has now been disabled.
The in-game event schedule has been reviewed and corrected to ensure proper timings.
Removed offline EXP for level 89 characters.
Added offline EXP for level 131+ characters.
Final fixes applied to the Zodiac interface localization and display.
Thank you for your patience and continued support. We’ll see you back in the game after the maintenance!
Hello everyone!
The time has come to announce the start of Halloween Week in GodsArena Online.
Tomorrow, October 25, 2025, at 15:00 server time (your local time may vary), we will perform scheduled maintenance and install the Halloween Update.
Update contents:
1. Halloween decorations The faction capitals and the login screen have been updated with a festive Halloween theme to bring a mysterious and atmospheric holiday spirit into the game.
2. Halloween Guide NPC A new NPC, the Halloween Guide, is now available in the capitals at coordinates 143, -170. He will entertain you throughout the event week.
At the Halloween Guide, you can: • Obtain new permanent Halloween costumes • Receive magic wands to hunt pumpkin demons • Exchange pumpkin candies for festive rewards
3. Pumpkinhead invasion Creepy Pumpkinheads have appeared in the suburbs of the capitals. Use your magic wands to catch them, collect pumpkin candies, and exchange those candies with the Halloween Guide for rewards.
4. Class-based Halloween costume You can exchange candies for a token that allows you to craft a special class-based Halloween costume. This costume provides +1000 HP and a small boost to either magical or physical attack, depending on your class. The costume is permanent and will not disappear over time. To create the class-specific costume, combine your base Halloween costume and token in the craft system on the website.
5. Festival rewards The Festival Guide in the capitals will give out BGold and Talent Points every day until October 31.
6. Teleport scrolls reworked Teleport scrolls have been redesigned. When used, your character will now be immobilized for the duration of the teleport cast.
Enjoy this special Halloween Week filled with festive decorations, unique costumes, and exciting activities. Thank you for staying with us and being part of the GodsArena Online community.
We wish you a spooky and joyful celebration!
Hello everyone!
Tomorrow (October 12, 2025) at 14:00 server time we will perform scheduled maintenance. During the maintenance, a new update will be installed.
We are releasing an experimental version of the game client. This new version loads resources directly into your computer’s RAM instead of from the disk like the old client. As a result, the game will no longer create “micro-freezes” when loading assets and will feel much smoother.
However, the new client consumes more RAM (around 500–800 MB). After the update, we’ll be waiting for your feedback — if the new client doesn’t work well for everyone, we will add an option to switch between the old and new client in the game settings (both on Steam and in the launcher).
The event has been moved from 22:00 server time to 18:00 server time.
Fixed an issue where Battle Pass experience boxes and Beginner Bags could sometimes contain empty boxes. They now always include the correct amount of experience.
The game client is now fully compatible with Windows 7.
The in-game event schedule window has been updated: times are now accurate, and the outdated Russian localization has been removed.
Fixed localization and display of skill slot unlock prices in the Zodiac interface.
Adjusted monster placement in the Delphic Forest location.
Fixed display issues with the Harpy Costume on some characters.
Added additional configuration options for players using the Steam version of the client.
We’re looking forward to your feedback on the new client. Thank you for staying with us, and enjoy your adventures in GodsWar Online!
Please update your game client. We have released an important patch that prevents client crashes.
The crashes were caused by an error when certain buffs from the crafting system interacted with the VIP buff. The update is now available both in the game launcher and on Steam.
1. Performance improved and frame rate drops fixed.
2. Some localization adjustments for pet skills.
3. Technical adjustments to some skill settings in the Russian localization.
Hello everyone! We have some good news to share with you.
We have successfully eliminated the vulnerability that was being exploited by troublemakers to disrupt your gameplay. As I’ve said before — their actions only make us stronger. Hopefully, their mothers are proud of their “important” work, and one day they won’t be ashamed to tell their kids what they spent their time on.
We are officially discontinuing player support through Discord private messages. After 1.5 years of practice, this approach proved completely ineffective. Players had to wait too long for replies, messaged multiple admins at once, and we often wasted time solving the same issue several times.
Starting now, we are launching a Global Support Center, where all player requests will be processed. This will speed up response times and improve support quality.
If you face any problem, please submit it here:
https://support.gamespace.team/
Login works directly with your website account — no extra registration required. If you already have an unresolved issue, please open a ticket there and it will be handled quickly.
Thank you for staying with us, friends. Every day we’re working to make the game and its services better for your enjoyment.
And one more small request: please leave a review for our game on Steam. We are very close to reaching the next rating milestone, which will help bring even more players into our community.
