A Console Experience Tailored for Strategy
While turn-based strategy games have traditionally been associated with PC gaming, Songs of Conquest proves that the genre can thrive on consoles as well.
The game’s intuitive controls and interface have been carefully adapted for controller play, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience on both PlayStation and Xbox.
Developer Quote
“At the start of all this, we never really gave releasing on consoles a second thought.” Carl Toftfelt, Lead Game Designer at Lavapotion, reflects on development. “Turn-based strategies like these are inherently tied to computers, and all of us played games like Heroes of Might and Magic and King’s Bounty on PCs. But when I first picked up the controller to test an early port though, I realised how well it all fit together – the fantasy setting, holding a controller, sitting on a sofa watching the TV screen and just enjoying playing. We can’t wait to see if console players think the same!”

Since its PC launch, Songs of Conquest has garnered a dedicated following, with “Very Positive” reviews on Steam and over 500,000 units sold. Lavapotion is committed to supporting the game with ongoing updates and new content, including the upcoming Vanir DLC, which introduces a new faction and expands the world of Aerbor.
Songs of Conquest is available now on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One for £29.24. Head over to the Xbox Store or PlayStation Store, before gathering your armies, unleashing your magic, and conquering the realm of Aerbor in this strategic adventure.
