The next major update to Skyforge is adding Celestial Temples. What are Celestial Temples? That’s not important; what is important is that they’re rare and any self-respecting player character god in the game wants several of them. So clearly, the best course of action is for all of the player pantheons to go to war through an elaborately structured contest in the new Pantheon Wars system.
Each Pantheon War takes place over three months of real-world time, allowing for three repetitions of the structure. Players will have to qualify for the battles about to ensue, then bid for the right to claim a temple, and finally fight to make the temple their own. Successful pantheons construct permanent Wonders that mark the occasions, with the most successful group of players leaving a permanent mark on the game world. It’s an elaborate system that gives players plenty to strive for beyond just player characters beating one another up extensively, although there’s plenty of that too.
