The ground trembles as the sky lights up, the Godking statue to the north glows brighter. Change is occurring in the world of Ignus and a hero must be summoned…
We are excited to announce Citadel: The Godking’s Vengeance, a massive free, quest-focused update is finally here!
The Godking’s Vengeance is part one of two huge expansions coming to the base Citadel game. In this update, players can choose to embark on a hero’s journey spanning the entire game, with quests and storylines starting at level one, all the way through to level sixty.
