Cataclismo - The Old Kingdom: New Expansion Sends You to the Icy North

The real-time strategy game Cataclismo is getting a new game mode called “The Old Kingdom,” in which players must reclaim a lost continent sets a launch date for August 20th 2026.

With the DLC The Old Kingdom, developer Digital Sun is expanding its fortress-building strategy game Cataclismo with a fresh game mode. Instead of a single castle, you’ll manage multiple strongholds at once, which you must conquer and then defend after capture. At the war table, you plan your campaigns, recruit troops, and use knowledge points to unlock new technologies, abilities, and buildings.

Every Stronghold Is Its Own Race Against Time

The night system, which Cataclismo fans are already familiar with, has been significantly expanded: Every conquered stronghold now has its own countdown until the next wave of attacks. Resources and reinforcements must therefore be strategically shuttled back and forth between locations, convoys take multiple trips, so advance planning is essential. The more territory you capture, the more fronts you’ll have to manage simultaneously, while the horrors grow more aggressive with each passing day.

For those who’ve known Cataclismo solely as a building and defense game, this expansion offers a significantly more strategic, campaign-style experience. The final assault at the end of the conquest is sure to provide another thrill.
