2019 in details
So what happened since Last December:
March - Chapter II - The Plains of Solna
Released on March 7th, the second chapter added a lot of new content. A big new area of the openworld map opened & players discovered the cute Nekaroo mounts! It’s also at that time that we added the Lighthouse, the procedurally generated dungeon with randomized battles at each floor. There was also many new sidequests, items, dynamic events, the weakness discovery system for monsters was also added.

July - Chapter III - The Reunion
The third update focused on the development of the arch around Alpharius, the master of Selene. Our heroes had to face great dangers going through the Pass of Olphara to get precious information about the Corrosion, the sickness that the mother of Daryon & Selene is suffering. We also added the Special Attack for Selene & fixed various bugs & balance levels of some monsters.

November - Chapter IV - The Man who survived the Corrosion
Released just a few weeks ago, the fourth chapter is the most ambitious chapter we have released since the beginning of the early access, adding 8 hours of content in the game! A new playable character has also been added, the witty Ysoris, only survivor of the Corrosion. We also introduced new environments like the city of Technomages, Tyr Caelum or the Junkyard Dungeon, full of dangerous broken machines.
