Paradox Interactive announced that Rise from Ruin, the next DLC for the hit fantasy strategy game Age of Wonders 4, will launch on March 9, 2026 on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. Players who own Expansion Pass 3 will receive Rise from Ruin at no additional cost.
Built around a fresh nomadic playstyle, Rise from Ruin introduces the Nomad Culture, a Harefolk physical form, three additional tomes, and punishing world map challenges in the Astral Barrens, a corrupted wasteland where magic can backfire and survival is not guaranteed.
All players will also receive the free “Scorpion Update” content patch on March 9, featuring quality-of-life improvements, plus a substantial overhaul to unit movement and combat balance, along with additional customization and pantheon options.
