Hi Everyone!
Sorry we've been a bit radio silent lately, we're happy to announce that the next Major Content Update is coming out Mid-May, we're just working hard on some Quality of Life and Bugfixes ready for the release.
Here's an overview of what you can expect to play soon:
QUEST - INQUISITION OF BAST
The Inquisition storyline continues this update with Good Tombkeeping. One hour after A Road Paved with Good Intent (or passing time at a campfire), Tefahra will have another task for you; halt the Anubites from pillaging a Tomb in the inhospitable Behid-Heq, dispatch a dangerous boss, then prove your faith and commitment to Bast with a Trial of Pain, Temptation or Prayer.
This quest comes with a new Dungeon, sex scenes, or an optional mini-game.
QUEST - CULT OF ANUBIS
The Cult of Anubis receives their first major quest in UE5 this update, with Amansi's brother Amhak missing whilst searching for Ritual Vessels. Players can help return him to the Anubite outpost and solve the tomb's puzzle to receive new hidden treasure and begin earning the trust of the Jackal Cultists.
Players will speak with Amansi in the ruins near Ikenni Villa to get started.
New Sex Scenes - Tefahra & The Temple of Jhedet
Tefera's trial is a two-stage DSS2 scene including a tease and Strap-On and is the most complex scenes we've ever done. Available for Females & Males, Tefahra will push you to the limit in order to prove your fortitude and initiate you into Bast's Inquisition.
The temple of Jhedet also has new scenes in the upcoming update, with new Anal & Pussy options available for for all non-formless players.
COSMETICS/SYSTEM UPDATE
Unlockable Genitals and skins are returning to Sabu in this update, bringing with it two new Large genital options, the Drake Member and - for female-form players - the first large size Strap-On, the Inquisitor's Rod.
Find the new genitals sealed within the latest return to the game: Ritual Vessels are again scattered around the world and deep within Dungeons. In subsequent updates these will be how you will find both new and existing genital skins and cosmetic options.
The new Drake Member is currently available in three skins.
EQUIPMENT - SHIELDS & BOWS
Masses of new shields are now available around the world. From corroded relics to ornate bronze, to Anubite, Inquisition, and even the Gilded Fold; there are now 17 new shield options with which players can equip themselves to face the dangers of the dunes.
Bows in CI have been placeholder until now; we've finally overhauled them and made them more readily available around the world. The Light Hunting Bow is now the default, which is a little faster than before and with higher crit chance. If you're lucky you'll find the Anubite Warbow which is heavier on the draw and does significantly higher damage.
Quality of Life
CAMERA
We were getting unhappy with the limited camera options in game and we felt it needed an overhaul, the new camera now lets you zoom in or out whenever you'd like, swap shoulder and we'll be adding more options for it in the future, we hope you like the change!
PLAYER EXPERIENCE - NEW GAME OPTIONS
We've added two major improvements to the New Game experience, Masculine Formless and the ability to skip the intro.
PLAYER EXPERIENCE - SAVE SLOTS
We've been listening intently to player feedback and suggestions, and a substantial number of you have been asking for more saves and better organization. To this end, this update we've added three major features:
- Save Slots
- Unlimited Saves
- Manual Saves
In the menus you can now select your current save slot, each slot has unlimited saves and holds auto-saves, quick saves and manual saves. Hopefully this lets you keep track and not lose any progress and honestly we're sorry it took us this long!
There's also a new 'Save & Quit' option on the menu that if you can save, it will also save before closing.
More to Come
We've not shown all, there's also a sneek peek at the Drake, new Map Areas, new torch, vendors, Spells, Arrows, UI changes and more!
We'll reveal all and the changelog in our full Major Update post in a couple of weeks, so please look out for that, we can't wait for you all to play the latest update!
