This winter, we’re delivering an update packed with groundbreaking features and Christmas cheer. With legendary weapons, immersive environments, and much-needed multiplayer fixes based on your feedback, there’s never been a better time to join the fray. Here’s what’s in store:
Legendary Weapons
Excalibur
The legendary sword in stone arrives to Battle Talent with devastatingly powerful abilities for both the 'Stone' and 'Sword' components! Use the sword to slay your enemies and the stone to strike any remaining ones down into dust.
Ancient Flying Sword
Now decimate hordes of enemies without lifting a foot via the ancient sword that mimics your hand gestures, but that’s not all — You can take to the skies by jumping on the blade and controlling it, unleashing devastating aerial combos and maneuvers while you fly through the battlefield in style!
Christmas Night Has Arrived!
The Sandbox Castle and Multiplayer Hall of Homology have transformed into a magical Christmas Night mode! Explore the festive charm under the starry skies, but watch out for the campfires—don’t let the flames catch you!
Beware the Enchanted Enemies!
Get ready for a tougher challenge as some goblins, skeletons, wraiths, and warriors now wield weapons imbued with mystical elemental powers! From ice and fire to lightning and gripping enchantments, these weapons bring elemental power to the battlefield.
In multiplayer, with friendly fire enabled, even your teammates aren’t safe from these effects! Stay sharp—both friend and foe might bring the heat (or frost)!
MR Mode: Features & Enhancements (Quest3)
Hands-On Gameplay Like Never Before:
Forget controllers! With new hand tracking support, you can grab objects by gripping with three fingers and use gestures like pinching your index finger and thumb to trigger actions. You can grab props in the real world while picking up weapons in the game and swing them, elevating your MR and VR gameplay to new levels of immersion!
Please note, this is hand tracking feature, and you need to hold the props to turn them into weapons. Currently, it is in the experimental stage, and only grip and trigger functions are supported. It cannot track individual fingers yet, and the tracking accuracy is still being improved. We will continue to refine it.
Seamless Integration with Your Environment
Experience the next level of immersion with our Virtualized Environment feature, which automatically generates a game scene perfectly matched to your scanned room layout. Now you can freely engage in combat without worrying about bumping into walls!
The visuals are also more life-like than ever with the addition of adjustable lighting and shadows during passthrough.
Exciting Enhancement for Adventure Mode and Beyond
We’ve made getting started easier with new side quests and dialogues to guide you through the adventure. Additionally, some talents in the Talent Temple now feature demonstration videos for better understanding, and each level will randomly spawn an extra weapon, unlocked through the Talent Temple, to keep your combat options fresh and exciting!
Mind Control Spell now supports voice recognition, allies can be controlled using voice commands! Simply say commands like stay, stop, idle, attack, go, follow, come, or back to seamlessly direct your NPC allies’ actions.
Additionally, with ModTK optimizations, you can now create voice-controlled mods, opening up endless possibilities for custom gameplay experiences.
Additionally, players can now kick-jump off other players’ heads, adding new tactical possibilities to combat. Alongside this, when taking damage, players will now see our newly designed **blood-splatter effects**, enhancing the visual feedback and immersion in every battle!
