Generals,
Today we're celebrating 15 years of towers, honor and glory, heroes, epic adventures, easter eggs, and exploding sheep. 15 years of RUSHING!
Whether you've been with us since the Flash days or you’re just discovering the Kingdom Rush universe, this milestone belongs to you as much as it does to us. Every wave you've held got us here. We can't thank you enough for making it possible and supporting us on this journey!
It all began with three friends in Uruguay and one shared dream: to make games they loved to play. Today, those three are now a team of 50, yet the mission and the passion behind Ironhide remain unchanged.
And who better to kick off the celebration and share a bit of this epic journey than the ones who started it all?
When we started Ironhide, we were three guys in Uruguay who had loved video games since we were kids and finally decided to try making one ourselves. We created a tower defense game out of tons of sleepless nights and the hope that somewhere out there, someone might like it.
Someone did. You did.
Everything that came after is yours too. The sequels, the heroes, the memes, the impossible veteran runs, the people who write to tell us they played Kingdom Rush with their kid, or discovered it because of their dad. None of it would exist without the community that grew around these games. You turned a small project from a small country into something that traveled the world.
Thank you for fifteen years. For the affection, for the patience, and for the high standards too, which made us better. For holding the line, no matter how many hordes have come and gone.
The kingdom still stands because of you.
Alvaro, Gonzalo and Pablo
Classic Mode for Kingdom Rush 6: To honor the anniversary, Classic Mode is coming to Kingdom Rush 6: Genesis! Take on any stage the way you fought your first battle fifteen years ago: one hero, the four classic towers, and only Rain of Fire and Reinforcements at your side. Read more here.
…and there’s much more to come! Over the coming months, we’ll be celebrating 15 years of Kingdom Rush with community events, contests, special in-game content, surprises, and more. Stay tuned, you won’t want to miss what’s coming next.
Thank you for fifteen incredible years, Generals. Here's to the next wave!
Let's keep on rushing!
Happy summer, Generals!
It's that time of year again. Our Summer Sale is live, with up to 65% off across our games!
And there's even more surprises waiting in the sun. If you haven't tried Kingdom Rush Genesis yet, give the Demo a try while it's still around. It won't stick around forever!
Hello, Generals!
Kingdom Rush 6 is coming soon on September 24th, and there's no better way to mark it than with the first official vinyl in Kingdom Rush history. Of course it had to be Vez'nan, the one setting it all in motion.
You've been asking us for this for years, and this time we teamed up with Youtooz to actually make it happen. The way it works is simple: we've got 7 days to reach 500 pledges of $2.99 each. If we reach the goal, the vinyl goes into production and you'll be charged the remaining value of the figure. If we don't get there, every pledge is refunded automatically to everyone who voted.
So you've got nothing to lose and a dark lord on your shelf to gain!
How does the voting work? You put down a $2.99 pledge, and that counts as your vote. If we reach 500 pledges within the week, the figure goes into production. If we don't, it won't be made this time.
What happens to my $2.99 if we hit the goal? It counts toward your figure. The remaining amount is then charged to your original payment method, with the exact figure and timing shown to you at checkout.
And if we don't reach 500? Every $2.99 pledge is refunded automatically to your original payment method after the voting window closes. You don't have to do anything!
Does it ship to my country? Yes, Youtooz ships worldwide. More info on shipping.
Let's make it happen together!
Dear Generals,
We have A LOT to talk about today.
First things first we have just released Kingdom Rush 6: Genesis Trailer! 🥳
And we have a release date: September 24th, 2026!
And that's not all.
This is your first chance to jump into the game and experience a small glimpse of what's waiting for you. We poured a ridiculous amount of love, passion and coffee into making it and we can't wait to finally put this demo in your hands. We hope you enjoy it.
We're incredibly proud of what we've created, and we're equally proud of the amazing team behind it. Every artist, designer, programmer, member of our marketing team, tester and countless others have worked their hearts out to bring this adventure to life.
It's always a little scary sharing something you've spent so much time making. But more than anything, we're excited. Excited for you to play it. Excited to read your reactions. Excited to watch you discover its secrets, conquer its challenges, and hopefully create some great memories along the way.
Thank you for being here. Thank you for supporting us through the years. And thank you for making it possible for us to keep creating games we love.
Now enough talking.
Watch the trailer.
Go play the demo.
And we'll see you on September 24th.
With gratitude,
The Ironhide Team
FOR THE KINGDOM!
We are excited to announce that we are supporting WDC, Whale and Dolphin Conservation for World Ocean Day, for the third year in a row!
The WDC World Ocean Day Sale starts today and runs until 11th June, 10am PDT 2026, and you can save a fin-tastic discount on Kingdom Rush games. We will also donate a percentage of our net profits to WDC to support their conservation work.
Who is WDC?
WDC, Whale and Dolphin Conservation are the leading global charity dedicated to the protection of whales and dolphins.
Their expert-led teams in the UK, Europe, the Americas, and Australasia work across the whole spectrum of threats, from climate breakdown to accidental entanglements in fishing gear, pollution, captivity and hunting and whaling. They bring together, and work hand-in-hand with, businesses, philanthropists, scientists, NGOs, governments and grassroots communities to find solutions to the problems faced by whales and dolphins.
Their mission is to reverse the global decline of whale and dolphin populations by creating safe seas for these majestic beings. And their vision is a world where every whale and dolphin is safe and free.
How your support will help whales and dolphins
By purchasing games from this year’s World Ocean Day sale, you will help WDC continue their global conservation work, as well as their Norway For Whales campaign, tackling the world’s deadliest whale hunt.
The Norwegian whale hunt is the deadliest in the world, with around 500 whales killed each year (more than Iceland and Japan combined!). There is no humane way to kill a whale at sea. Whalers use grenade-tipped harpoons and pregnant females are often the targets because they are slower.
WDC is working to drive change by supporting local activists, promoting whale-friendly tourism, reducing demand for whale meat, and exposing welfare issues.
Whales and dolphins are awe-inspiring, intelligent beings. The ocean produces more oxygen and absorbs more carbon than all of Earth's forests combined, and whales help it flourish. Yet whales are being needlessly slaughtered every year.
Thank you for joining us and for supporting WDC!

Hello General,
Spring is officially here! And... well, full disclosure, down here at our studio in Uruguay, it's actually autumn. But we’ll take any excuse to celebrate with you!
Whether the flowers are blooming or the leaves are falling where you are, it’s the perfect time to stock up. We’re running a huge sale across all our games from March 19 to March 26!
If you've been waiting for a reason to jump into a new campaign or complete your collection, this is it.
We love dragons, and they’ve always been a big part of our games. To celebrate the arrival of the newest DLC, Dragon’s War, we’re launching a dragon-themed sale across all our titles! Take flight into epic battles and explore the realm, whether you’re a seasoned defender or just starting your tower defense journey.
🐉 Don’t let these deals fly away!For generations, the Dragon Wardens and Lunaris safeguarded the last egg of the Royal Egg, preserving the future of dragonkind and maintaining the balance of the realms.
That balance has now been broken. A powerful ancient dragon has launched a sudden assault, stealing the last Royal Egg in a bid to seize its power for himself. Through a forbidden ritual, he seeks to claim the egg’s essence and crown himself King of Dragons, bypassing the rightful lineage and reshaping the skies to his will.
The Alliance is ready to charge, allied dragons at their side, waiting for your command.
Lead them into forbidden skies, break through guarded gates, and confront corrupted dark enemies.
5 New Stages set across the Cloud Realms, high above the clouds.
15 New Enemies, each ready to challenge your defenses
3 Epic Bosses, powerful ancient dragons with devastating abilities.
1 New Hero: Aurion, the Sun Dragon, guardian of the eggs.
1 New Tower: the Dragon Hatchery, a mother dragon that spawns her brood
5 New Achievements to prove your mastery of the skies
9 Easter Eggs, packed with secrets and surprises for dedicated defenders
Will you reclaim the last royal Egg and stop the Dragon Wars before they consume Linirea?
Some projects are special. This is one of them.
We’ve heard you asking for more of the classic tower defense you all know and love, and now we can finally share it: something big is on the horizon.
Yes, it’s confirmed.
The next chapter in the saga, Kingdom Rush 6: Genesis, is coming!
The nostalgia is strong with this one. We’re taking you back to the early days of the Kingdom, to stop Vez’nan’s corruption before it tears everything apart. Back when legends were just beginning… and maybe a few bad decisions could still be undone.
Returning to Linirea’s origins reminds us why so many of you fell in love with this world and its characters in the first place. Over the years, this saga has grown into something much bigger than we ever imagined, and that makes coming back to it even more special. The chance to create another chapter in a world that means so much to so many people is really special to us.
We’re excited to share this journey with you and can’t wait for you to feel that magic again. Are you ready to return to Genesis?
