AFK Journey Kicks Off New Season ‘Echoes of Dissent’ Today

The Seasonal Update Introduces Two New Characters, a Fresh Storyline, and All-New 1v1 Gameplay Mode

Shanghai, China (May 23, 2025) - Prepare for a return to the underground realm in AFK Journey with today’s launch of ‘Echoes of Dissent,’ the new season update available to all players. This exciting new chapter invites players to uncover the secret behind the mysterious curse threatening the newly introduced Essail Clan and put an end to their unrest. Download AFK Journey and play for free on PC, iOS, and Android.



“Where the Light Fades, We Will Stand.”

In ‘Echoes of Dissent,’ a mysterious summons sees Merlin venture to Brimstone Village to address rumors of Dwarven tensions rising just beneath the surface. As each new question unfolds and leads to another, a dark revelation is revealed: sinister disturbances have taken hold in Esperia, and the Dwarves aren’t the only group affected…

Journey underground to the kingdom of Sal'thorin to uncover the Essail’s dark secrets and begin to unravel the truth to restore peace. This new narrative arc brings players face-to-face with new characters Zanie, a Dwarf, and Indris, the captain of the Sal'thorin Guard. Together, they’ll unravel the twisted truth behind the unrest that plagues the land.

New Characters & Map

Explore new locations — Brimstone Village, and the Kingdom of Sal'thorin — with powerful new heroes Zanie, and Indris, the “Chain Breaker,” both of whom add even more firepower to the ranks of heroes fighting back against the malicious forces plaguing Esperia.

New Gameplay Mode

The season introduces ‘Sunlit Showdown’ — a 1v1 elimination tournament designed for intense hero-based combat. Players must enter the battlefield with no carryover progression, testing their mettle with the heroes they possess. Three difficulty tiers keep even the most seasoned warriors on edge as they progress through up to six brutal rounds of fierce competition. Players will earn valuable loot as they defeat enemies and rise through the ranks.
