Hi folks,
I want to thank our two community members who participated in our Summer modding contest. You can find their entries at the following links:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2991642341
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2981735375
Due to an insufficient number of entries (only 2), the contest, sadly, counts as canceled.
However, to acknowledge our participant's effort and dedication, they will receive three DLC keys each.
On a separate note, let's say the YouTube contest did not occur, as no entries were submitted.
Exalted Heroes
Now that the contest news has been addressed, let's shift our focus to the progress of the upcoming expansion. I'd say the expansion is 90% done, and I can confirm the following:
Expansion Content
The expansion will introduce around 30 new NPC-driven stories, each varying in size and offering different narrative paths. The new expansion does contain elements for early levels, but, its primary focus is providing more content for higher-level campaigns. Some of these stories may even lead to additional branching stories based on the choices you make, enhancing the replayability factor. Some could lead to new Challenges etc.
While 'Untold Tales and Legends' is not a prerequisite to enjoy the new stories in Exalted Heroes, it is highly recommended as each expansion builds upon the foundation laid by the previous content.
There are 100 new enemies with new card tactics to test your skills. These fresh opponents will bring a new level of excitement to your high-level gameplay experiences.
There will be over 250 new perks at your disposal, to have ample opportunities to further enhance your characters and create unique builds within different subclasses. These perks will add depth and customization options, allowing you to tailor your playstyle to your preferences.
Not every specialization received extra perks, there was a particular focus on enhancing the Mercenary, Shadow, Hunter specializations, and a few others that didn't have as many unique build options at mid to high levels. ie. Psychic's Charlatan got +10 new perks.
Last, but not least, there is a staggering addition of around 500 new cards. This vast array includes approximately 120 new allies, 120 new legendary items, and a wealth of other exciting additions. These new cards will bring fresh strategies, synergies, and possibilities to your deck-building adventures.
A little tease, as many of them are still a work in progress:
Release when?
While I am aiming for a mid to end of July release, I cannot give you at this point an exact release date for the expansion. I always prioritize quality and completeness over strict deadlines. So, whether it will be released earlier (or later) than anticipated remains to be seen. In the meantime, you can wishlist the expansion on Steam to receive notifications when it becomes available.
