“Forge of Empires has come a long way. Being released on browsers only, the game still continues to improve on its original platform, to further support this audience in the years to come.
Furthermore, it also made the transition to cater to mobile users on four different global platforms. It basically became a massive worldwide hit. Internally, we still have one of the largest teams working on the title, which is dedicated to improve the overall quality of the game, along with delivering fun and entertaining updates on a weekly basis. I’d like to thank all the internal teams, as well as all the players, for shaping such a great experience and entertaining game!”
– said Stefan Walter, Studio Director at InnoGames.
To date, players have spent more than 311,482 years’ worth of playtime in the game, during which time approximately 60 million cities have been built. When the game was first released it included a total of six eras and several months’ worth of content. There are now 20 eras with the release of Spage Age Venus and over five years’ worth of content. It takes players an average of 2,381 days, or 6.5 years, to progress through the eras, during which time players can select from over 1,000 different buildings to construct. Amongst others, features like Guild Expeditions and Cultural Settlements have been added giving players even more content.
Forge of Empires 10th Anniversary event
To celebrate the tenth anniversary milestone, there is a new board game-themed event. The objective is simple: to progress around the board.
With each advancement around the board, players will take a trip through each of Forge of Empires’ unique eras. The Forge Fact-Finder is present to provide players with their next quest, while also sharing some interesting facts from the history of Forge of Empires. By completing these quests and through daily logins and incidents around one’s city, players can earn paper money that can then be used to roll the dice and progress around the board. The variety of spaces to land on results in an equally unique collection of rewards.
The Grand Prize is the Golden Orrery, but one new building was not enough for this celebration. Additional prizes include the Grand King, the Grand Queen and the Stage of Ages, while new avatars are also available for players to share their progress and board game prowess with their friends.
Forge of Empires is available for free on browser and mobile for Android and iOS devices.
