Century: Age of Ashes Celebrates 500,000 Players During Launch Week; New Frost and Fury Event Available Now

Playwing announced that their fantasy-dragon adventure Century: Age of Ashes hosted more than 500,000 players during its first week. Further, the developer has launched a new limited-time event titled Frost and Fury.

Available from December 16 through January 2, 2022, Frost and Fury features a free-for-all Chaos mode in a frozen variant of the Sarghildian Creek map. This mode support up to 8 players where players will fight it out to take other riders down. During this mode, each kill puts a stackable Bounty on your head, making it more profitable to take you down.

Since Windguards wouldn’t want to support enemies on the battlefield, the Chaos game mode also changes the behavior of their Salvation Surge ability granting their dragon a speed boost for a short duration on activation. At the end of the Salvation Surge dash, a shield buff is added to the rider.

A new outfit will be given to players who complete the Frost and Fury challenges.

Century: Age of Ashes is being developed by a 30-person team in France. Gameplay combines dragon flying within a multiplayer arena where players can shoot down others in some high-fantasy clashes. Players can choose their class, become more skilled with dragon flight, and take to the skies.

There are three different classes available, Windguard, for high defense, Marauder, for tracking and speed; and Phantom, for steam and traps. Players can master each class to improve their abilities. Each level gained opens up opportunities to make classes and dragons look unique. Experience can be used to hatch new dragons to ride.

Century: Age of Ashes is available now as a free-to-play game on PC-via Steam.
