Strange winds sweep across our islands as big changes are to come.

Winds of Change

Looking forward to reaching an even bigger and more diverse audience for Grepolis, we decided to update the game and give it a completely new style.

Starting this weekend, everyone will be invited to join our transition event, giving you the chance to learn more about our plans and to experience the new style first hand - directly in the game.

Get ready to see Grepolis in a brand new guise, meet known allies and discover the beauty that is Greece getting some Asian influences. But don't forget to show your enemies who's boss by sending the most fierce of lightning bolts their way!

Zeus, the other gods and all their acquaintances can’t wait to showcase their new costumes and see your faces when discovering this whole new game environment! ^_~


Summary:
  • The “Winds of Change” event starts this weekend
  • A new icon at the bottom displays the remaining time until the next set of changes is applied.
