In August 2024, Borealys Games announced that a follow-up game, titled Echoes of Mystralia, was under development.[4]
The game is set in the land of Mystralia and follows Zia, a mage who discovers her magical powers at the beginning of the game. After being exiled from her village due to unintentionally causing turmoil through her powers, she meets a character self-described as the Mentor, who convinces her to travel to a mage sanctuary to improve her skills as a mage. Zia is eventually tasked with preventing a war between an army of trolls and the anti-mage Kingdom of Mystralia, whilst learning more of her destiny and uncovering a more sinister plot.
Mages of Mystralia was developed and published by Canadian studio Borealys Games.[5]
