Exclusive Gift for Early Access Players
To show our appreciation for everyone who never stopped believing in us, we’ve prepared an exclusive gift bundle for anyone who purchased during Early Access or will buy the game before its release:
🛡️ The Buckler of the Old Times
Forged in an ancient forge, this buckler bears images of a forgotten age. Its artistry is a solemn reminder of what was sacrificed for progress.
🗡️ The Spear of Redemption
Forged in the Scarres Arcanate, this spear drains the vitality of all who stand in its way.
⏳ The Clock of Early Arrival
Legends claim that those who carry this clock always reach their destination ahead of time.
🔨 The Grand Hammer of the Ancient Smith
A mighty hammer said to grant mercy to the dying with a single decisive blow.
Your feedback and support have been the cornerstone of shaping Glorious Companions into the game it is today. We can’t wait to share more as the release approaches—stay tuned for updates and share your thoughts!
See you in Terscara this Thursday!
