Arcane Legends has been going strong since it debuted at the tail end of 2012. So well, in fact, that it's already up to its sixth expansion.

Following on from the mobile MMO Arcane Legends, Spacetime Studios has announced Arcane Battlegrounds: a free-to-play online strategy spin-off for the franchise. Arcane Battlegrounds will let players take control of Warriors, Trolls, and Dragons in real-time battles as they attempt to defend Arlor from a tyrannical ruler. Through use of strategy and cunning, players will build a kingdom and its army, and hopefully bring peace to the region once more.
Gary Gattis, CEO of Spacetime Games, gave this statement on the game:
This new title mixes the compelling storyline and rich fantasy world of Arcane Legends with the explosive and strategic gameplay found in Battle Command. Arcane Battlegrounds will add another pillar to the growing foundation of games we develop and support.
Arcane Battlegrounds is set to become available for iOS within the next few weeks.
Spacetime Studios has announced a new expansion - the fifth - for Arcane Legends, called "The Dragon Enclave."
This one takes the player into Lord Rendtail's lair. It sports new player caps, new bosses, and new pets to explore with. There is also new currency, dungeons, armor, and daily quests to keep players engaged.
Legends Producer Alex von Minden likes the continued product. “The Spacetime Development Team had a lot of fun creating the Dragon Enclave and it shows. The art, action and story come together for solid MMORPG experience, all delivered neatly to your mobile device. I’m especially proud of our final boss, the fearsome Lord Rendtail. It is a great boss fight with a unique spin that makes it unlike any other encounter we’ve done before.”
The Dragon Enclave expansion has been submitted to the App Store and should be going live very soon. In the meantime, you can download Arcane Legends for free.
Spacetime Studios is set to bring permanent updates and seasonal content to each title in the Legends and Battle franchises. This includes Star Legends, Dark Legends, Pocket Legends, Arcane Legends, Battle Command, and Battle Dragons.
Players can now experience Tarlok's Wrath, which is the winter event for Arcane Legends that goes until January 6. The rest of the holiday content will be available on December 17; including new winter campaign levels, seasonal battles and quests, and special holiday loot.
Spacetime Studios' popular MMO Arcane Legends (although really, all their MMOs are popular) is getting an update. And not just any update; a mysterious, shadowy update.
The new Realm of Shadows content is going to "introduce players to, and have them save, the sorcerer’s homeland." Sounds intriguing, right? Well what about new enemies and bosses? New loot, pets, and gear? New quests? Nah, I bet what you'll really be excited about is the level cap increase that takes each characters' max level from 31 to 36.
If the Realm of Shadows sounds like your kind of place, then either download Arcane Legends and check it out or update it if you've already got it on your iOS device. Simple as that!
Things are about to get chilly in Arcane Legends. The Battle of Nordr expansion is now available and tells the story of the warrior's frozen homeland. Players will witness new cold weather monsters, items and pets. Also, the level cap has been raised by 5 levels, letting hardcore players hit level 31.
Note: you may not see the update in the App Store description, but the developers say that the update is live, and will update in-app. Give it a shot and let us know what you think.

Pocket Legends was the first cross-platform MMO release from Spacetime Studios, and it has grown over time to support a massive user base and an ever-growing list of core-MMO features, including player-vs-player, high level caps, and a deep playing strategy that takes into account stats, weapons, and armor builds across multiple characters and classes.
Today, Spacetime Studios announced two entirely new character classes, the Rhino and the Fox, to round out a five-class roster of character types available for high-level, core MMO play within the Pocket Legends universe.
First up is the Vixen Ranger, a female ranger class represented by a Fox. This is an up close, melee character who uses cunning, poisons, and bandage abilities to get in, poison enemies in the face, and evade damage while jumping away. This character class uses dual daggers, uses leather armor, and has some ranged abilities thrown in along with some great area of effect abilities, said Julianna Scruggs, a lead designer on Pocket Legends.The other new class is the Paladin class, the Rhino. This is the healing tank character class, represented by a Rhino animal. MMO players will recognize this classic build, using hammers and plate armor as well as a variety of magic and tanking spells like taunt, charge, heal, resurrection, guardian and others. There's a cute bird that sits on top of the Rhino that can be enabled, clearing the character of any bad effects from opponents.
With the three other Legends-branded games, it's a wonder why Spacetime Studios is supporting the oldest one in the bunch, when Arcane Legends, especially, is doing so incredibly well. Chief Visionary Officer Cinco Barnes says that it's a labor of love. Plus, he says, the community playing Pocket Legends is massive. "The Pocket Legends user-base is increasing," he told 148Apps in a phone interview. "There are still unique things in mobile online gaming happening here - being able to create specific builds for character classes, along with a community of players who are expert at building strong, unique characters. This is hard core, under-the-hood MMO game play."
Spacetime Studios takes its player community very seriously. They listen to feedback constantly, tweaking game play and game features in response to that very same community dialogue. "We work a lot with the public," said Scruggs, "and with our forum members. We have an open relationship with our players--feedback is at a very refined level of discussion."In addition to the two new classes, the Pocket Legends update will include a ton of other extras, listed below.
New Elite Bossfights - Battle a level 76 Red Dragon, and discover a secret elite boss hiding in the Underworld
New Heroic Dungeon - The Dragonet of Fire Forest just got meaner in the new heroic difficulty "Forgotten Forest"
New 3 vs. 3 Capture the Flag PVP map - Fight for flags and glory in the Burning Flats
New Skill Ranks - All character classes have more advancement options with the addition of two new skill ranks for all abilities
Free Respec Weekend – Free skill and attribute respec for all classes this weekend only, in celebration of the new classes as well as ability ranks
New Items - Discover all new items to power up your hero
New Low Level Drops - Better weapons and shields for lower leveled characters
Return of Winterfest - Pocket Legends’ holiday celebration returns with new vanity drops and store items
It's truly a delight to see a studio spending this much time and attention on a game that came out in 2010, a veritable ancient game by iOS and App Store standards. The new character classes, gameplay tweaks, and other MMO-style holiday updates really show the team's commitment to creating--and maintaining--a first class, core MMO experience on mobile devices.
