Celebrating 15 Years of Kingdom Rush

Generals,

Today we're celebrating 15 years of towers, honor and glory, heroes, epic adventures, easter eggs, and exploding sheep. 15 years of RUSHING! 

Whether you've been with us since the Flash days or you’re just discovering the Kingdom Rush universe, this milestone belongs to you as much as it does to us. Every wave you've held got us here. We can't thank you enough for making it possible and supporting us on this journey!

It all began with three friends in Uruguay and one shared dream: to make games they loved to play. Today, those three are now a team of 50, yet the mission and the passion behind Ironhide remain unchanged.

And who better to kick off the celebration and share a bit of this epic journey than the ones who started it all?


A message from the founders:

When we started Ironhide, we were three guys in Uruguay who had loved video games since we were kids and finally decided to try making one ourselves. We created a tower defense game out of tons of sleepless nights and the hope that somewhere out there, someone might like it.

Someone did. You did.

Everything that came after is yours too. The sequels, the heroes, the memes, the impossible veteran runs, the people who write to tell us they played Kingdom Rush with their kid, or discovered it because of their dad. None of it would exist without the community that grew around these games. You turned a small project from a small country into something that traveled the world.

Thank you for fifteen years. For the affection, for the patience, and for the high standards too, which made us better. For holding the line, no matter how many hordes have come and gone.

The kingdom still stands because of you.

Alvaro, Gonzalo and Pablo


The celebration starts now

  • Classic Mode for Kingdom Rush 6: To honor the anniversary, Classic Mode is coming to Kingdom Rush 6: Genesis! Take on any stage the way you fought your first battle fifteen years ago: one hero, the four classic towers, and only Rain of Fire and Reinforcements at your side. Read more here.

  • …and there’s much more to come! Over the coming months, we’ll be celebrating 15 years of Kingdom Rush with community events, contests, special in-game content, surprises, and more. Stay tuned, you won’t want to miss what’s coming next.

Thank you for fifteen incredible years, Generals. Here's to the next wave!

Let's keep on rushing!
