Paradox Interactive has unveiled a series of expansions for Age of Wonders 4, a fantasy strategy game from Triumph Studios. Starting today, holders of the season pass Expansion Pass 3 have received a small content pack, and in the near future, the pass will grant them access to three major expansions. Thus, today with Expansion Pass 3, players will receive the Cosmic Wanderer pack, and on November 11, the vampire rulers expansion Thrones of Blood will be released, with more expansions coming later this year and next year. The Expansion Pass 3 is available for purchase on PC, PlayStation®5, and Xbox Series X|S.

Age of Wonders 4: Expansion Pass 3 will take players to the far reaches of the Astral Sea, where forgotten kingdoms and forbidden powers await them. Three major expansions will be introduced, which will expand players' possibilities and their stories: from new challenges and spell books to new cultures, rulers, and much more. The small pack, Cosmic Wanderer, is available now and includes a new ready-made ruler character, new cosmetic options for outfits and items, hero equipment, and a trait. Along with the Expansion Pass, players will have access to both the Cosmic Wanderer pack and other expansions as they are released.

The Thrones of Blood expansion adds a new type of vampire ruler to Age of Wonders 4, granting players new powers and abilities exclusive to these undead lords. These capabilities include new dark ability trees, a Vampire Castle that will replace the Wizard's Tower, the power to turn heroes into vampire servants, and ritual spells that use slaves as magical fuel. Thrones of Blood will allow players to satisfy all their bloodthirsty ambitions.

Thrones of Blood also includes:

  • Three new tomes of magic, focused on draining enemies, empowering allies, and turning opponents' actions against themselves.

  • New narrative content, featuring thrilling quest chains that tell the story of the Lost Souls, and a new story about the origins of all vampires.

  • New map features, including journeys through the land of darkness and thorns, new gothic Ancient Wonders and landmarks, and the dark energy of Blood Glass.

  • New wild creatures, including hordes of Spiked Beasts, Blood Worms, and many bats.

  • New music, interface elements, world settings, and much more.

In the first quarter of 2026, the Expansion Pass 3 will also grant access to the expansion Rise from Ruin, which introduces a new nomadic culture to Age of Wonders 4 that will help not only to survive but to thrive in the parched lands of the Withered Worlds, as well as new spell books, environment, and wildlife. The Secrets of the Archmages expansion will be released in the second quarter of 2026 with a narrative add-on, where players will discover arcane secrets and the legends of the wizard-kings of Atla, as well as gain access to their spell books and realms.
