Clouded Leopard Entertainment Co., Ltd. and SUNSOFT announced that the official version 1.0 of their jointly released new game "Charon's Ark" is scheduled to be released on November 7.
Charon's Ark is a new type of game that combines colony simulation and tower defense. In a harsh world where the World Tree disappears, darkness and monsters attack, the player must control the familiar and embark on a journey to escort the "World Tree Sapling" that becomes the new World Tree to the "Nursery". After the game launched into early access in July this year, it received positive reviews. A few months later, it was officially confirmed that the official version 1.0 of the game will be released on November 7, and various additional content and corrections will be launched simultaneously.

Version 1.0.0 Update Introduction
Add the second half of the journey
The deeper parts of the world that have not been unlocked in the normal mode of the early access version will be opened in the official version. Collect new resources, face new enemies, and breathe new life into the world, with the goal of reaching the nursery of the World Tree. What exactly is waiting for you at the end of this journey...?
New "forbidden" energy...?
A new device, the "World Tree Extractor", which can be used to extract new energy, has been added to the game, and several devices connected to it have also been added. These devices will draw power from the Yggdrasil saplings, turning them into power sources for new weapons. However, using these devices will gradually weaken the world tree, which will bring a certain price.
More evolved tower defense elements
With the addition of new weapons such as the "World Tree Extractor" and "Wall-Mounted Weapon", the types of enemies have also increased accordingly. Officials insist that the "tower defense" element, a highlight of this game, will become more in-depth and strategic with the addition of these new weapons.
Other new additions include balance adjustments and visual optimization, etc.
The official version will be updated with carefully polished game graphics, sound effects and other details. In addition, there will be updates with various corrections and new elements.
To commemorate the upcoming release of this game, the official decision has been made not to adjust the price to the original price of the official version for the time being, and to continue selling it at the early access price for a period of time*. In addition, the official will also hold a "Launch Sale" and participate in the "Steam 2024 Winter Sale".
