- The Voltaris aren't the only dangers in the world of Ardonia. Mercenaries Jalkar and Grim are attempting to steal a precious item from the castle of Etherea, Lucan has been assigned to mining duty in the caves where the zombies and undead lurk, and Senn and Ria hope to one day adventure and explore.
- The idea for something like Songs of War began to circulate around Black Plasma Studios in 2011, but they could not decide on a game to utilize until 2015.
2015 David says work began in late 2015, when he first began making Minecraft animations. He streamed the creation of the world in WorldPainter on his personal channel in December of 2015. Building presumably began straight after this, and writing and skin/weapon design possibly also began in 2015.
2016 A lot of the set design on the world was done in 2016 by the SoW build team, and was later showcased in a video on 9th October.
2017 Progress on SoW continued alongside David's other animations.
2018 Production continued as normal and the script and world were mostly completed, so animation began.
2019 David started recruiting other animators to help with some scenes in January, upon realising that animating all of it himself would take too long.
On 4th August, the first reveal trailer was released, showing Tygren Voltaris, a Song, The End, a dragon egg and redesigned undead as cryptic hints for the plot. This trailer was likely only made for the 3 million subscriber special.
On 16th November, the second trailer was released, showing the plot in much more detail and featuring dialogue from several characters.
On 23rd November, Episode 1 was officially released, with the Behind-the-Scenes video following soon after.
2020 A mid-season break took place between Episodes 5 and 6, to transition from releasing episodes every 2 weeks to every week.
The final episode of Season 1 was released on March 28, followed by the full movie on April 11.
It is now officially canceled on June 14.
The unedited S2/S3 Script is still officially available, along with the unedited S1 Script.
Since then, an age dubbed "The Succession" began where many artists from the Songs of War community formed their own teams to animate where Black Plasma Studios left off. From this, 2 teams named Helios Animations and Knights of Ardonia formed, and are trying to produce season 2 in very high quality like the original, Helios also has released theirs as of June 24th, 2021
