Crusaders of the Lost Idols

Crusaders of the Lost Idols is a free-to-play idle game that launched in October 2015 and was designed as an ongoing live service — the store description explicitly promises monthly events, new Crusaders added every month, daily quests, and regularly released campaigns. The developer maintained a consistent cadence of seasonal content drops, new permanent campaigns, talent system expansions, and feature patches from at least 2019 through early 2022, with the last visible patch posted on March 24, 2022. The previous assessment flagged a concern about a multi-year silence following that March 2022 post. However, a news post dated September 23, 2026 — just one day before today — resolves that concern in an important way. That post announced a new game called Folded Fables: Tidy Up The Dragon Hoard, launching October 15, 2026, and explicitly states that its 500+ unique items were "drawn by one of our artists over the past 14 years, including MANY items from Crusaders of the Lost Idols." This confirms the studio (Codename Entertainment Inc.) is still active and operating as of September 2026. Critically, the post was made through the Crusaders of the Lost Idols Steam news feed, indicating the developer is still using this game's channel to communicate. While the post is an announcement for a new product rather than a Crusaders content update, it establishes that the studio itself is alive and active — resolving the prior development_uncertain concern about a possible studio closure or abandonment. The store description continues to describe a live service structure with monthly events and ongoing content additions. Without a developer statement explicitly ending support for Crusaders, and with the studio confirmed active as of September 2026, the live service nature of the game remains the most accurate characterization. The developer has not announced an end to Crusaders content, and the game remains free-to-play and available.
