As part of the Games From Russia Steam festival, we are announcing an add-on for the game Slavania, the key character of which will be Neuromonk Feofan. As part of the DLC, in addition to Feofan himself, the game will be supplemented with rhythm quests based on his most famous tracks, a new location that expands the world of Slavania, as well as an additional hunting zone and a new boss.

Of course, there will also be a new "Neuromonk Fan" skin for Alyosha.

The add-on will be available on May 5, but for now you can watch the DLC trailer, in the filming of which you can also see Neuromonk himself.

Specially for the Summer sale Slavania received not only a 20% discount, but also a new summer skin, which will be received by all players who bought Slavania before the end of the Summer sale. Moreover, in the last couple of days we rolled out 2 new patches at once.

Since the Slavania release the FrostLeaf Games team worked without sleep or rest to improve the game. We looked for bugs, read your comments and reviews, conducted multiple additional playtests.

With undisguised joy, we inform you that we managed to bring the game to an almost perfect state. Some small problems may still appear, but we carefully monitor your feedback and will continue to eliminate even the smallest bugs, if any.

We look forward to your feedback and plan to spend much more time responding to players on Steam.

Thank you again for your support and stay tuned for our news! Support and development of the game is not limited to bug fixes alone!

We actively read all your comments on the game and tirelessly fix bugs that our players encounter. In fact, the first patch is already ready, we are currently testing it before uploading it to Steam.

Unfortunately, we do not have time to respond to most of the players, because all our efforts are devoted to technical work on the game, but rest assured, we hear you and are working to improve your gaming experience as much as possible!

Moreover, over the next few weeks we will be adding a number of new languages to Slavnia, including Chinese and Brazilian Portuguese, which will come first.

Thank you again for your feedback, your support and for working with us to improve the Slavania <3

We have been working towards this for a long time. More than 3 years have passed from the initial idea to this release. All these years we have worked hard, worked through the script, mechanics, and debugged the game so that you can get the most out of it!

We were supported not only by the players who added Slavania to the wishlist, but also by all those people and companies who participated in the creation of the game, be it voice acting, cameos or releasing licensed products for Slavania.

However, today's release is not the final point, but only the beginning. We will regularly update the game, fix even the smallest bugs if they are still in the game, add new content and release DLC. Who knows, maybe the second part of Slavania is just around the corner?

The game was released in English and Russian
In the coming weeks we will add Chinese, as well as a number of other languages, including French, German and Br. Portuguese

On behalf of the FrostLeaf Games studio, we invite you to the expanses of Slavania! See you there!

We have long wanted to add a collectables to the game, but we couldn’t decide what exactly the player would collect in different parts of Slavania. The Buranovsky grannies got lost in the forest and scattered in all directions. Now Alyosha needs to find them all and help them find the way so that they can gather into a large ensemble again and give a concert. This mechanic seemed quite funny to us, and the images of grandmothers fit perfectly into the surroundings of the game based on Slavic folklore.

The “Traditions of Ancestors” meadery, together with the FrostLeaf Games, Game Art Pioneers and the Slavania game, created a limited edition of Mjolnir non-alcoholic mead as part of a promotional campaign dedicated to the imminent release of the project.

A bottle of Mjolnir mead will also appear in the game itself as a usable item that increases the antagonist's damage. According to game lore, the honey drink was brought to Slavania by a local merchant from the Vikings, that is where the authentic name Mjolnir came from. This is also indicated on the label of the actual limited edition bottle.
