Warriors of Waterdeep – The Adventure Ends

Warriors of Waterdeep is indeed coming to a gradual end. Working on this game with such great teams for the last 7 years has been a professional highlight and a personal joy. I’m sorry to see the campaign conclude, but all must… eventually. 

What does it all mean? Well, the full details are listed in the Ludia forum (https://ludia.gg/WoWSunset), but the short version is this: for the next 3 months, events and challenges are free, and you have ONE MILLION GEMS to spend on whatever you like. 

Spend your time travelling from Sharpstone Keep all the way to Shimmersky Valley! Level up your heroes and their gear to the max! Kick down those locked doors! Stand tall in the arena with max level common gear just to flex!

Goodbyes are hard. So instead, I’ll just say “Thank You” to the folks who made Warriors of Waterdeep possible.

• Thanks to all the Ludians who designed, developed, drew, animated, tested, organized, marketed and supported the game from pitch through world launch. You are an awesome team, and I am a better designer and writer because of you.

• Thanks to everyone at Wizards of the Coast who guided us through this creative adventure and let us build new heroes, treasures, monsters, locations and stories to the world of Dungeons & Dragons.

• Thanks to our cousins in D&D game development – especially Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms – for your friendship, encouragement, and inspiration over the years. (Also, I’m happy that I can visit Calliope, Farideh, Jarlaxle, and Nayeli!)

• Thank you to all the actual play streamers who shared their overlays and chat rooms: Looking for More, Roll Together, Rivals of Waterdeep, Black Dice Society, Kobold Press, and Gaxx Pack.  Your shows build on and build up an incredible love of D&D. I can’t wait to see what’s next.

• Everyone at Ludia is incredibly proud of our creative partnership with Roll Together to stream the game story over 25 episodes and three incredible seasons. (https://www.warriorsofwaterdeep.com/streams/roll-together.php). The talented cast & crew brought Coriolis, Halbenet, Naomlen, Shevarith, and Tommus (along with Laeral and all the monsters) to rollicking life!

• Thank you to the players who made guilds, videos, and guides; sent comments, reviews, critiques, and suggestions; created fan art and memes; who checked in to open chests, complete quests, and put their favourite heroes into battle! This game was always for you.
  
• And finally, thank you to my poor family, who will have to endure stories about how much I treasured the Warriors of Waterdeep experience for years to come (especially my kids, who will hear how I hope they’re as lucky in their careers as I have been in mine!)

So, what’s next? Well, those million gems aren’t going to spend themselves, so it’s time to return to the Yawning Portal and see what new quests Laeral has planned for the Warriors.

May all the critical hits go your way!
