The cold weapon war sandbox game "MYTH - Steam Edition of Empires: Kingship" announced today that the S4 season "Skyward Clash" will officially begin on November 20, 2026, at 22:00, lasting for 3 months. Pre-creation of characters for the season will open on November 17 at 22:00.
The new S4 map, "Sky Realm," will be available to players on all platforms with the season update. On Steam, it will be offered as a free DLC, and the DLC store page is now live. Players on all platforms do not need to manually claim it or perform any additional actions; once the season officially starts on November 20, you can directly enter the new map server to experience the fresh content.
The S4 season will take players' battles from the ground to the sky for the first time—a 64-square-kilometer floating map "Sky Realm," two types of tamable flying mounts, and a giant mobile aerial platform that can be built on its back will together form the core experience of S4.
S4 Season Trailer: From Ground to Sky
A new season trailer has been released simultaneously, showcasing players exploring floating archipelagos, riding flying mounts through the sea of clouds, engaging in combat, as well as scenes of Kun egg hatching and the appearance of the Northern Sea Kun.
Floating Map "Sky Realm": A Sky World Without Level Barriers
The S4 season will launch the floating map "Sky Realm"—a sky world spanning 64 square kilometers, composed of multiple distinctive floating islands. This map presents a higher overall challenge difficulty, but players can enter without level restrictions. Explore floating islands, build homes, compete for spiritual energy resources, and engage in faction competition in this brand-new sky world.
Flying Mounts Debut: Black Crane and Blazing Phoenix
The flying mount system will be added to "MYTH - Steam Edition of Empires: Kingship" for the first time this season. Players can not only tame flying mounts but also enhance their spiritual energy absorption performance through breeding, including absorption radius, speed, and capacity. Besides spiritual energy absorption, both mounts excel in combat in their own ways:
l Black Crane – A lightweight and agile aerial ranger, skilled in flexible maneuvering and ranged attacks, capable of performing wind blade shooting, rolling dashes, and feather blade volleys.
l Blazing Phoenix – Possesses powerful fire attack capabilities. Players must defeat the corresponding BOSS and tame it to obtain a Phoenix Egg, which can be hatched and raised to acquire. It can perform fireball attacks, shield acceleration, and area-of-effect fire strikes.
Northern Sea Kun: A Flying Mobile Base
Players can obtain this massive aerial behemoth by hatching Kun eggs. It not only possesses powerful offensive and defensive capabilities, but its back also supports building placement—players can construct their base on the Kun's back, creating a truly mobile aerial fortress that combines construction, exploration, and combat in a new gameplay experience.
More Intense Competition: Sect Challenges and Payroll Plunder
l Sect Challenge: Challenge sect faction BOSSes to compete for rare loot.
l Payroll Plunder: A portion of the copper coins dropped by monsters will be converted into payroll, which can be exchanged at boundary markers. If a player carrying payroll is defeated, other players can pick up the dropped payroll.
l New Personal Leaderboards: Track personal performance in four categories: payroll plundering, killing mysterious beast hunters, killing fierce beasts, and taming beast kings. High-value season rewards will be distributed based on rankings.
New Generals, New Creatures, and Title System
New generals Sun Ce and Taishi Ci make their debut; pangolins and tigers will also be added to the breeding system, allowing players to enhance their respective gathering abilities through breeding. The title system will open in the S4 season, enabling players to unlock corresponding titles upon achieving specific goals to showcase personal accomplishments. Unlocked titles support cross-season inheritance.
Reduced Growth Burden and High-Value Rewards
l One-Click Achievement Unlock: Once your character reaches level 60, you can claim the "Heavenly Secret Scroll" via mail. Using it will unlock all achievements instantly.
l Upgraded Faction Ranking Rewards: Members of the top 30 factions in the season rankings will all receive "Heavenly Dragon Jade Plaques," which can be used to exchange for Heavenly Dragon Yuchen series equipment and items.
l Stable Acquisition of Ancient Scrolls: Accumulate 100 kills of sect monsters to receive 1 Ancient Jade Box. Opening it will randomly grant one of 26 types of Ancient Scrolls.
