During the Titan and Abyss Eras, players could access Era Dungeons, which were specifically designed for those periods.

On July 22, 2023, it was announced that the Multiplayer mode would undergo significant expansion through a series of major innovations.

Era Sagas
The Era Sagas are special dungeons in Alpha Legends consisting of a dozen nodes that unlock cutscenes. Each saga represents a single chapter of the game's ongoing story.

Development
Era format
When Alpha Legends officially launched in 2022, the game followed an era-based format, with each era lasting approximately 4–6 months. The first, the Titan Era, began in June 2022, one month after the game's release. Season One of the Titan Era introduced 6–8 new monsters, while Season Two expanded on this with additional monsters and relics. Season Three of the Titan Era brought further updates, including new monsters and a refreshed user interface (UI). The final season of the Titan Era added new dungeons, more monsters, relics, and general updates, marking the conclusion of the era.
The second era, known as the Abyss Era, began in February 2023 and continued to expand the game’s content and features. The Calamity Era, which launched later in 2023, is set to conclude on November 6, 2024, coinciding with the release of Alpha Legends: Arcadia, the game's next major expansion.
