Kingshot is a mobile 4X strategy and city-builder from Century Games Pte. Ltd. of Singapore, the same publisher behind Whiteout Survival. We have no live-stats API for this game the way we do for Roblox titles, so this hub is built from Century Games' own official pages and app-store listings rather than a tracker's paraphrase. On the Apple App Store, read August 18, 2026, Kingshot carried a 4.6-out-of-5 rating from 216,000 ratings and ranked #3 in the Strategy category.
What Is Live Right Now
The following comes from Century Games' own official Kingshot pages and the App Store's version-notes field, read August 18, 2026 — not a tracker's summary.
- Double Kingdom Stars Pack. An official post dated August 3, 2026 advertises a limited-time store offer: $9.99 for 999 base Kingdom Stars plus 999 bonus Kingdom Stars, capped at one purchase per account, through the official in-game store.
- Prestige Merit Shop upgrade. The App Store's own version-notes field records update 1.11.25, dated July 8, 2026, stating the Prestige Merit Shop "has been fully upgraded" with new skins and exclusive domain effects added.
One piece of current activity is not confirmed by any Century Games page we could find. Boostbot.org, in an article published July 23, 2026 and updated through August 10, 2026, describes a Swordland Summit League Season 1 running across roughly six weeks, open to alliances that register up to two Legions of 30 combatants each. The same article states plainly that Century Games "does not post the dates anywhere public," so we cannot confirm from an official source when the current phase begins or ends — we flag that gap rather than smoothing over it.
Background
Kingshot released globally on February 22, 2025, developed and published by Century Games, per PocketGamer.biz's report, published March 12, 2026. That report puts first-year revenue at $811.9 million across Google Play and the App Store between February 2025 and February 2026, growing for eleven straight months to a peak of $102.2 million in January 2026 before its first monthly decline, a 9% drop, in February 2026 — a decline the report ties to players alleging bot farming in the game. The same report puts the official Discord at 500,000 members as of March 2026.
How the Game Works
Kingshot is a mobile 4X strategy and city-builder in which, per Century Games' own description, "players assume the role of Governors who must battle rebels, rescue refugees, and ultimately rekindle the flame of civilization in a dark era." Early play centers on developing the Town Center, rescuing and sheltering civilians, and planning city construction; as the town grows, the same page states players train soldiers to defend it, recruit heroes, and gather resources for survival. That is the extent of what we can state first-party. We have not played Kingshot and are not going to describe troop ratios, hero-tier rankings or event strategy from other sites' summaries — if we cannot trace a mechanic to an official Century Games page ourselves, it does not go on this page.
Official Channels
Where to go for first-party information. We link these without nofollow because we have checked them and stand behind them, unlike the third-party report cited in Background above.

- Kingshot official Discord — linked from the official game page.
- Kingshot on the App Store — the listing the rating and version-notes figures above come from.

Kingshot Guides
Kingshot Gift Codes (August 2026)
Source-listed code signals, the short KSMMDD validity window, both redeem paths including the web portal, and the drop cadence.
Codes
Unlike Diablo IV's one-off retail promotion, Kingshot runs a live gift-code system: codes are redeemed at ks-giftcode.centurygame.com or in-game via Settings → Gift Code. Weekly codes follow a KSMMDD pattern and stay valid only about three to four days, and every string we list is a dated source signal rather than a confirmed active code. Full detail, sources and caveats are on the codes page.

Update Rule
We do not mark a gift code as active just because another page says it is active, and we do not repeat a promotion or patch note without checking its own stated date. This page records what Century Games' own pages stated, what one dated third-party report added, and when we read them.
