Beleen
Hello heroes! Beleen here with another Battleon Briefing hot off the presses (or maybe just hot off the patio, where it is a delightful 94 degrees and only one palm frond away from becoming lava). I just emerged from the weekly Infinity meeting with notes, excitement, approximately 14 things I want to tell you about immediately, and only a moderately concerning amount of coffee. Let’s get into it!
First thing’s first: WOW. Player response to the Infinity Hero Class has been absolutely tremendous! You all have been jumping into battle, testing the Class against all kinds of baddies, and genuinely making us feel like we may have accidentally created something legendary!
We will have a full Class writeup coming to the Design Notes this week just as soon as I acquire more caffeine. And more screenshots. One of which you can help me with right now!! Show me your screenshots and/or GIFs and/or videos of your Infinity Hero Class in action on this Discord channel for a chance of becoming Design Notes famous 🤩
If you pledged Founder or above during the AQW Infinity Kickstarter, you already have access!
How to get it in the original AQWorlds
Open your Book of Lore → Badges → Other Badges, then scroll until you find the Infinity Hero Class.
How to Get it in Infinity
Open the KS (Kickstarter Shop) at the top right of the screen and get it for 0g from your highest tier reward shop.
Equip it, jump into battle, and become the hero you were always destined to be! Or, at the very least, look extremely epic while standing around in Yulgar’s.
Our next release should bring a fun new way to experience the world of Lore: Spell Stone Monster Transformation!
Because sometimes you do not want to fight the monster… sometimes you want to ~BECOME~ the monster. And yes, we will let ~you~ decide whether that is a brilliant tactical maneuver or an elaborate excuse to run around and confuse newbies in Battleon.
Personally, I support both.
And now for something I know a lot of you have been waiting for...
The first Android test APK is coming!
This will be an important step as we continue bringing AQW Infinity to more devices and making sure the game feels great outside of computers. One important note for our testers: if your version of the app is out of date, you will need to return to our website to download the updated APK version. And ofc we’ll give you the link to that page once it’s up.
So keep an eye out, Android adventurers.
We are also making some exciting improvements to the inventory UI! A huge part of this work is making sure Infinity remains usable, readable, and genuinely pleasant to navigate on smaller screens.
Because having 900 items is alotta fun. But trying to find the ONE sword you are looking for when everything is the size of a bread crumb? Alotta less fun.
So we are working on making the inventory experience look and feel much better on mobile, with usability and readability right at the top of the list.

Battle on,
Beleen and the Infinity team
