Mad Otter Games, developers of the cross-platform MMORPG Villagers & Heroes,have recently announced an upcoming expansion to the game. Set to land May 14th, this news is hot off the trail of the “Starfall” where the developers updated large portions of the combat mechanics.

The upcoming “Wellspring” expansion will focus heavily on the player housing and communities known as villages. According to the email I received, players can expect changes and more content to villages with “new projects, politics, and Customizable Village Environments.” Specifically in regards to the political-related additions, players can run for mayor and be appointed to local government to help run the village.

New projects will allow villages to create a Sugar Mill or Training grounds to practice combat, adding a new element of gameplay. Such projects will require players to collaborate, and once projects are completed, there will be rewards and improved crafting/gathering.

Even though is just an overview of the upcoming expansion, Mad Otter Games has created a dedicated page on their website that includes a lot more information. Because the game is cross platform players on iOS, Android, and PC will all get the expansion at the exact same time on May 14th.
