This update brings the world to life with roaming wildlife (bears, boars, wolves and rabbits), introduces the Hunter’s Lodge and the new Hunter class, overhauls combat with stamina, parrying, charged heavy attacks and timing-based perfect shots, and expands Kingdom Mode with new villages, cliffs, lakes and natural points of interest.
We’ve also launched our first Co-Op Multiplayer Alpha, added new defensive walls and guard towers, introduced the new Campaign Scenario “Heart of Gold”, and laid the foundation for future Survival Mode systems. Kingdom naming and character slots are now supported as well.
Your world — your people — your legacy.
