The New Map Update was a major update released on February 26, 2025. It was regarded by development as the largest update in World Conquest History. It overhauled the World Conquest Map, fixing various errors such as the Projection Error. It was teased as The Update by AdmiralFanatic on January 4, 2025. The new map was announced on January 26, with a trailer.[1]
Features[]
Map[]
The map was completely overhauled, with over 7.5 million pixels. Administration claimed that lag reduction would be reduced by 99.8%.[2] This was supported by multiple cases of mobile players who recorded themselves playing World Conquest and uploaded it to YouTube, but was contested by several people who had troubles with the new paint tool. The update released with only 7 eras. According to administration, more eras will be added later, but this has been heavily criticized as no new eras have released months after the update.
Paint Tool[]
The Paint Tool was overhauled, and the Restore Tool was removed and incorporated into it. This was seen as an organizational change by some, however it only caused confusion for those who were inactive in the Discord server and had purchased the Restore Tool long beforehand.
Lite[]
Many members of the World Conquest Lite community did not support the new update, as it had resulted in the removal of Lite as a whole. Many people saw Lite as having its own community where everyone were friends, and users from the main game were stereotyped as being toxic and sweats. In the World Conquest Discord, these people "campaigned" for the game to stay.
Administration, including Marqret, have repeatedly denied the re-addition of Lite. Their primary point was that the Update optimized the game so much that anyone could play the main game without lag, which defeats the purpose of Lite as it is meant to accompany lower-end devices.
