Prepare for a return to the underground realm in AFK Journey with the launch of the Echoes of Dissent Update, a new season update available to all players for free. This exciting new chapter invites players to uncover the secret behind the mysterious curse threatening the newly introduced Essail Clan and end their unrest.

If you’re unfamiliar, AFK Journey is developed by Lilith Games and published by Farlight Games. In AFK Journey, an overworld fantasy RPG created by the original AFK Arena team, players are whisked away into the magical world of Esperia. There, players recruit numerous heroes to their cause, take on powerful foes, and earn rewards through in-game actions and idle (AFK) mechanics.

The game boasts a visually stunning artistic design, offering an expansive world filled with equal parts adventure, storytelling, and challenging battles. Players can freely roam across Esperia’s rich and colorful world, exploring bustling towns and taking on quests from NPCs.

AFK Journey is launching its latest Season Update and is set to introduce  two new characters, a fresh storyline, and new 1v1 mode.

In the Echoes of Dissent Update, a mysterious summons sees Merlin venture to Brimstone Village to address rumors of Dwarven tensions rising just beneath the surface. In this latest AFK Journey update, each new question unfolds and leads to another, and a dark revelation is revealed: sinister disturbances have taken hold in Esperia, and the Dwarves aren’t the only group affected…

Journey underground to the kingdom of Sal’thorin to uncover the Essail’s dark secrets and begin to unravel the truth to restore peace. This new narrative arc brings players face-to-face with new characters, Zanie, a Dwarf, and Indris, the captain of the Sal’thorin Guard. Together, they’ll unravel the twisted truth behind the unrest that plagues the land.

Echoes of Dissent Update: New Characters & Map

Explore new locations of Brimstone Village, and the Kingdom of Sal’thorin — with powerful new heroes Zanie and Indris, the “Chain Breaker,” both of whom add even more firepower to the ranks of heroes fighting back against the malicious forces plaguing Esperia.

Echoes of Dissent Update: New Gameplay Mode

‘Sunlit Showdown’ — a 1v1 elimination tournament designed for intense hero-based combat. Players must enter the battlefield with no carryover progression, testing their mettle with the heroes they possess. Three difficulty tiers keep even the most seasoned warriors on edge as they progress through up to six brutal rounds of fierce competition. Players will earn valuable loot as they defeat enemies and rise through the ranks.

Download AFK Journey and play for free on PC, iOS, and Android.
