If you’re a Game Pass player then there will be a high chance you’ve taken in the Dungeons & Dragons affairs found in Solasta: Crown of the Magister. If not, the arrival of the new Palace of Ice expansion should see you drop in.
Available right now as the latest expansion to Solasta: Crown of the Magister is the Palace of Ice DLC addition, as winter arrives and a new premium campaign begins to thaw.
Tons of new Game Pass content
The biggest expansion for Solasta: Crown of the Magister yet, the arrival of Palace of Ice will add in more than 25 hours worth of content, playable alone or with others. It’s the cooperative opportunities that we feel this will be best worked.
It comes via the Tactical Adventures team as they provide players with all-new chilly opportunities. Taking us into the Northern Peaks, the Palace of Ice expansion should be seen as a high level affair, one in which you’ll need all your wits and skills. With a couple of new Ancestries, some old familiar faces and additional environments, this is one that will bring tons of new gameplay options.
This new campaign sees the Soraks infiltrating Gallivan and threatening the Snow Alliance after making a deal with the demons. The heroes will have to explore a totally new region, and reunite the different clans of the Snow Alliance in order to try to bring the spread of Soraks and Demons to an end.

DLC Description:
Although the heroes of Caer Cyflen managed to prevent the Soraks’ attempt at reopening the Rift to unleash their foul god upon Solasta, the threat is far from over. With the Kingdom of Gallivan suddenly declaring war on their neighbours, there is little doubt that these insidious foes have agents everywhere – and that they always had contingency plans well prepared.
The Palace of Ice DLC is a high level 10 to 16 campaign that will take your party into the frozen lands of the Snow Alliance. The allies of Caer Cyflen need your help now more than ever, for Soraks are not the only foes that have been sighted lately. Other ancestral creatures have joined the battle, and there is little hope for victory without experienced adventurers to face them.
