Original Story: Racking up around 100,000 downloads on Android alone, Villagers & Heroes is a cross-platform F2P MMO that's getting a fresh new expansion.
Villages & Hereos: Starfall is said to be the biggest expansion of the game so far. Pushing up the game to version 4.0, it's safe to assume we're looking at the game's third expansion since its release back in 2014.
Raising the level cap to a modest Level 90, the Villages & Heroes: Starfall promises a major shake-up to numerous in-game systems already in place. Crafting, loot and the general progression experience will see its fair share of tweaks once the expansion lands - but that doesn't mean there won't be new locations. In fact; there's 7 of them.

Bug fixes, UI optimizations and a new map are some of the less drastic - but still meaningful changes - with the biggest being how crafting and fighting. Item alterations mean players should find it easier to procure goods they can actually use, while the battle system changes will introduce talent trees, 3 specializations to each class and 'ultimates' - powerful battle techniques or passive.
There's no solid date for Villages & Heroes: Starfall just yet, but it's due sometime later in the year. Maybe that's just enough time to reach the current cap if you haven't started already?
