The Emperor's Challenge DLC releases tomorrow!

Renowned Explorers - Art Book · published 9 May 2017, 17:54 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Get your blimps ready! The new expansion for Renowned Explorers is releasing in less than 24 hours:

The Emperor's Challenge will be available for sale at 10:00 PDT / 19:00 CEST or your local equivalent. You can wishlist it here right now to get a notification at release.

Now, there are a few special announcements for tomorrow:

Bonus - Free Content Update for the base game


This one might be a bit confusing. Not only will we release a full-sized expansion pack tomorrow, we also took some time to add new content to the base game. So even if you don't jump into the expansion right away (who are we kidding really, who doesn't want a fireworks inventor in their crew), you'll discover some new adventures in Renowned Explorers. What might be this new stuff? That will be revealed tomorrow at launch, but we can already say it's something much requested...

Around the world in 80 hours - Community Content Challenge


In our eyes this game only ever deserves more content. If you share this opinion you might want to join the special community content challenge:

  • The challenge starts tomorrow at release and will last only 80 hours
  • This challenge can only be beaten if the community works together.
  • Each reward tiers unlocks extra content that we'll then create in the coming weeks.
  • More details tomorrow.

Celebration Twitch Stream


Just as hyped about tomorrow's release as we are? Then join us during the release celebration stream. It will start 1 hour before launch, counting down to release. There might be cake.

  • Join us here: https://www.twitch.tv/abbeygames
  • Tomorrow, May 10th, 18:00 CEST / 9:00 PT (1 hour before release)
  • Count down with the monks.
  • Sneak preview of the first Daily Emperor's Challenge ever!


1 more day!

Community2 Sep 2025Oh no! Renowned Explorers is now 10 years old.(Psst, before we start... Be sure to follow Abbey on Steam if you want to stay in touch with us!) Oh sweet mother of God, remember 2015? Remember?! When you picked up Renowned Explorers, even though (*checks early reviews) it looked like a "Mobile Game"? That is 10 years ago. Ten years!! It was the year of Jurassic World. Woke was still woke. A time before the great plague, and before all the o…Esports21 May 2024Reus 2 releases the 28th of MayHello good people! Maybe you’ve heard it before, maybe it’s the first time you hear it: Next week on the 28th of May our newest game Reus 2 will hit the Steams! We’re happy to see the lessons we’ve learned from Renowned Explorers and Godhood put together into Reus to create a true fresh new Abbey Game! Except what you can expect from us: depth, colorfulness, and a playful heart. Ok, but why did…Community13 May 2022Tales of the Abbey: Renowned ExplorersIn the previous tales , we shared stories of the start of Abbey Games. Today, we share about the exciting exploration of Renowned Explorers! One thing was certain; The Abbey was filled with chaotic energy! All the monks, old and new, sat together and basically mashed ideas together to see what would come out. A big difference from the four that basically set the line for Reus! It's safe to say…
