Myth of Empires: Throne Season 3: Era of the Shattered Seas launches September 3

Myth of Empires: Throne, the seasonal title operated by its authorized publishing partner, launches Season 3: Era of the Shattered Seas on September 3, 2026 at 14:00 UTC. The new season brings the standalone Shattered Isles map, the Skyshaker Cannon, two Legendary Warriors, and broad changes to base defense, vehicles, and seasonal progression. Character pre-creation opens August 31 at 14:00 UTC.

Shattered Isles is a standalone gameplay map, separate from the open world, made up of one main island and three medium-sized islands. Players who reach the required level can enter to challenge Bosses and earn Season Points.

Large Bosses spawn at random times during designated periods. When multiple Guilds fight the same Boss, they are ranked by damage contribution, and the top three Guilds receive Season Points.

The map has a central PvP zone surrounded by PvE zones. Building is allowed, but Boundary Markers and Territory Banners cannot be placed, and structures decay faster. Players can park large vehicles in the outer PvE zones while out of combat.

The compact Skyshaker Cannon can be deployed on land within a Boundary Marker's coverage area or mounted directly on Battleships. It is manually operated and uses two exclusive ammunition types for different land and naval combat situations.

Boundary Marker defenses get several changes:

• Enemies inside a Boundary Marker's range are randomly targeted every 5 seconds and receive a continuous punishment effect. This mechanic applies only on PvP servers.
• Friendly players get shorter respawn cooldowns inside Boundary Marker territory, while enemies get longer ones.
• Unclaimed loot bags in friendly Boundary Marker territory will auto-transfer to the Guild Depot after an extended period; redemption rules stay unchanged.
• Each Boundary Marker gets 10 anti-air attacks per day, resetting every 24 hours. Guilds can buy extra attacks with Copper Coins, with no purchase limit. Enemy Glider use inside the territory consumes one attack and triggers fire, and enemies can no longer deploy Gliders after entering.
• Glazed Tile Arrow Towers get three new ammunition types — Boiling Silver Whistling Arrows, Poison Whistling Arrows, and Paralyzing Whistling Arrows — plus higher base damage.

Battleships and Biremes get increased durability. Battleship building rules now match Air Fortresses, so structures are no longer restricted to the stern and deck layouts can be planned more freely.

The number of Heavy Ballista-type siege weapons mountable on Desert Ships and their overall durability will be adjusted. Kongming Lanterns gain dedicated storage cabinets, and their decay rules are being brought in line with Air Fortresses.

Two Legendary Warriors join Season 3:

• Pang Tong has exclusive abilities tied to farming and armor crafting, supporting Guild production and resource development.
• Diao Chan specializes in ranged combat, with advantages in shooting and attack effects.

Season 3 also introduces five unique Seasonal Talents centered around Apocalypse Orbs, Fury Skills, vehicle combat, survival, and counterattacks. Creature armor progression, Large Mount Breeding, and further creature development features arrive alongside expanded Apocalypse Orb gameplay.

All five professions receive skill balance adjustments covering skill damage, Stamina consumption, skill effects, and combat pacing. The Crafter's Bench repair system gains a new "Repair Now" function, while Glider Stamina consumption and Pandora's Box placement limits are also adjusted. More details are planned for the official Season 3 update announcement.

• August 31, 00:00 UTC — Servers close
