Developer Lavapotion has revealed the next DLC for its fantastic adventure, Songs of Conquest, and it’s coming to PC in June.
It’ll add a new faction to Songs of Conquest called “Yulan”, which makes for the third full faction for the title. Lavapotion says: “Yulan marks the next full faction DLC, bringing new environments, troops, wielders and buildings to the world of Aerbor. Yulan is a land of beauty and conflict, shaped by the rivalries of its three great houses: Li, Sheng, and Xuan. From enchanted forests to hidden ruins, beasts roam the lands, farmers toil in the fields, and Seekers delve deep into the secrets of Essence.”
The Tale of Yulan: At the heart of the Yulan DLC is a brand new Tale that spans three maps and tells an epic story of reunion and survival. Players will follow the House of Sheng and their Wielders as Yulan comes back into contact with the wider world of Aerbor; as old conflicts give way to far more dangerous truths.
House Allegiances and New Forces: The Yulan expansion introduces eight new troop units, many with multiple upgrade paths reflecting the houses they serve. Players can pledge their allegiance to Li (Order), Sheng (Creation), or Xuan (Arcana). This choice shapes not only the Essence they command, but also the abilities, stats, and roles of their units on the battlefield.
The developer explains that within the new Yulan forces you’ll find:
- Conscripts, basic infantry fighting beneath the banners of their chosen house
- Grenadiers, soldiers wielding clay bombs while bolstering army morale with house drums
- Tian, dragon-like creatures loyal to their human masters
- Yi, master archers empowered by the Essence of their house
- Seekers, scholars of Essence who risk transformation into fearsome Transcendents
New Maps and a Living Biome: The Yulan DLC also introduces five new Conquest maps, designed to highlight the faction’s strengths and the region’s unique terrain. From house conflicts to invasions of Arleon and the defense of Yulan’s homelands, each map provides a new challenge.
Lead Game Designer Carl Toftfelt said: “Yulan is a faction we’ve wanted to add to the game since before its release and I’m just beyond excited to get this faction into the hands of our players.”
Songs of Conquest is out now for PC and consoles, but this DLC is planned for PC first, in June.
