The Elves, Rogues, and Rifts expansion substantially broadened Portal Knights with the Faynore planet, the Rogue class, Elves, and the randomly generated Rifts roguelite mode. Druids, Furfolk, and Relic Defense followed with a shapeshifting Druid, the Furfolk race, and three arena challenges, while the Legendary Edition packaged the expanded game with its earlier add-ons in May 2020.

  • Elves, Rogues, and Rifts: The expansion introduced several major pillars of new content:
    • Faynore added new islands, the Rogue’s Guild, and an Elvish city.
    • Rogue brought stealth, backstabbing, new talents, and a dedicated crafting station.
    • Elves added customizable eyes, skin tones, hairstyles, hair colors, and facial features.
    • Rifts delivered randomly generated passages, traps, puzzles, enemies, and roguelite progression.
    • The Mage’s Guild added quests, NPCs, and rewards shortly after the expansion’s launch.
  • Druids, Furfolk, and Relic Defense: The February DLC added the Druid class, whose transformations included bears, spiders, and slimes; the customizable Furfolk race; and three Relic Defense arenas focused on protecting Star Stones with traps and magical bombardments.
  • Legendary Edition and free additions: Portal Knights Legendary Edition included Adventure and Creative modes, the new Faynore game modes, and previously released add-ons. Weddings and Galas added wedding-themed items and NPCs, while horses and pigs became purchasable mounts from merchants.
  • Creative tools and customization: Logic Objects added buttons, pressure plates, traps, interactive doors, and lights, while Test Play Island allowed creators to test islands and activate placed enemies. PC players also gained NPC Text Editing for Mini-Adventures.
  • Seasonal events: Spring Festival added a themed island, quests, items, and panda and dragon pets; Egg Hunt introduced collectible eggs and the Golden Easter Egg achievement; and the Portal Knights Halloween Event supplied another limited-time seasonal activity.

  • Systems and multiplayer: Cross-Play with Mobile returned for shared LAN, Wi-Fi, and dedicated-server play. The Quest System Rework stopped universe regeneration from resetting quests, while the Gifting System, mailboxes, and scheduled rewards expanded free-item distribution.
  • Inventory and gameplay adjustments: The Side-by-Side Chest Menu, mass-transfer shortcuts, and direct backpack use for consumables streamlined item management.
