Hi everyone,
After 6 months of development and lots of testing, today we finally open up the doors to our first major update! Below is a quick recap of what this patch contains, with the full patch notes at the bottom!
I hope you enjoy this update, let us know what you like/dislike on our Discord and please bear with us as we tackle the inevitable bugs that will still pop up!
Chapter 3
Fight off new enemies and bosses within The Frozen North, a new continent featuring a dark icey environment! Meet the true evil behind the incursions and challenge his finest generals to let him know you mean business.
4 new bosses, a new dungeon, and so much more!
Multiplayer
With this update comes the first iteration of multiplayer. What started as a simple visual-only concept Multiplayer, has evolved into a system where you'll be able to not only see and chat to others, but also interact, heal/buff and play together within dungeons!
Abilities
Earn a whole new array of abilities, and combine them as you wish using the newly unlockable third ability slot!
Cosmetics
With brand new categories such as eyetrails, wings and footsteps you can immerse yourself further into the character that you really want to be!
... And so so much more!
For a more visual representation of everything being added, I advise you to read the previous two blog posts, which showcase everything in more details.
