2024 was a good year to be a Kingdom Rush Fan! 

Now that the year is wrapping up, let’s take a moment to look back at the ABSOLUTE MADNESS that 2024 was at Ironhide Games. So grab your favorite beverage, sit back, and let’s relive the wild ride that made us all laugh, cheer, and cry happy tears (it’s okay, we did too).

We kicked things off by CRANKING IT UP in the Wasteland with the Junkworld Underground update, part 2!

On July 25th, we released Kingdom Rush Alliance, and wow, you blew us away with your response! The game got to the Top 3 on mobile, Top seller on Steam, snatched a Gold Award from Pocket Gamer, and Best Mobile Game at Chinajoy! You made us the happiest devs ever!

In September, we raised the black flag with the Pirate Kings DLC for Vengeance. Then Alliance got even better with two updates: Undying Fury in October (featuring a familiar face who needs anger management) and December’s Ancient Hunger, which brought crocodile madness to cap off the year with a bang.

Of course, we can’t forget the amazing community moments! This year, we hosted three fan art contests—Alliance, Towers, and Pirate-themed. Your creativity always amazes us! We also had two intense tournaments, one for the spooky season and another for the holidays (aka the two best times of the year).

And let’s not overlook the heartwarming stuff. We were proud to support the charities Games for Waves, raising awareness and funds for ocean preservation, and SpecialEffect, helping gamers with disabilities experience the magic of gaming. Thanks to all who supported our streams, too!
 

2024 was a wild ride, but 2025? It’s going to be next level. We’ve got exciting plans, more updates, and surprises we can’t wait to share. Thank you for being part of this journey and making it so special. None of this would be possible without your incredible support.

Happy New Year, Rushers! Here’s to an even more epic 2025!
