Trobblemania, Blade of Awe preview, and sneak peeks!
Prepare for Trobble, pure chaos, and fun! Trobbles are these adorable little guys that drop from just about anything you defeat in the game. Whether you're farming, questing, or just vibing in a dungeon — you're probably getting Trobbles. Some are tied to events or specific drops, but most are just chillin in global loot. Over 100 to find!
Blade of Awe Preview
The Blade of Awe is in development by Dage the Evil, with both visual and story elements being carefully planned. The story behind the weapon ties into the upcoming main campaign update, with Dage adding some secret, spoiler-y flair. The design reflects the classic Artix style and nods to past games, matching well with Sanrick's armor for those who love coordinated looks. Details on how to obtain the Blade are being kept hush hush for now.
How to (not) Make Yulgar's Inn
Yergen originally designed a stunning new map for Yulgar’s Inn, but it ended up feeling a bit too modern for Battleon’s cozy, small-town vibe. So, the map’s getting repurposed as a Port Town (perfect fit!), while Yulgar’s Inn keeps its classic structure with some fresh visual updates and new additions.
This includes an exterior blacksmithing area that reflects Yulgar’s role, plus a reworked interior with color-coded zones—main floor, balcony and stairs, bedrooms, and even a bathroom. The goal is to modernize the space without losing its original charm. Did we nail it?
Dwarves!
We’re working on DWARVES! Yep, a brand-new race with their own homeland and lore. Clarion pitched the idea of antlers and horns on them (because why not?), and Dage took that and ran. The concepts are looking so cool, but I can’t spill much yet—story secrets and all that jazz. Just know it’s gonna add some major variety to Lore!
Clarion Has a Beard
Clarion has a beard... for maybe a week? Why? Because Oishii asked me if we were ready to roll the release to live, or if I needed to add anything else, and I thought it'd be funny to say "WAIT HOLD ON I NEED TO ADD SOMETHING DON'T ROLL YET!". So here we are.
Moglin Maker
Remember how we were revamping Moglins? WELL—we’re also making them customizable like human NPCs! That means clothes, weapons, and all sorts of cute outfits. We really want non-human characters to shine just as much as the humans in Lore. It’s still a work-in-progress, but I can already tell we’re gonna fall in love with some brand-new moglin heroes.
Forging Heroes
We’ve got BIG characters coming for the story relaunch, and it’s so fun watching them evolve from “words on a doc” to full 3D models. We’ve revealed 3 of them so far—there are 2 more mystery NPCs in the group, so stay tuned. Can’t say much yet (spoilers and all that), but they’re super important to the new story direction. Trust me, you’re gonna want to meet them.
