Heyyo Peeps!! How are all of you doing? The holiday season draws closer as the air gets cooler, ushering in the winter months. Though we don’t experience winter here where Magnus Games Studio is at, we share in the excitement for the flurry of upcoming holidays that will be arriving soon. We have some special news for you regarding the progress of development, and we hope you will be excited for the upcoming major update.
The air is cool and dry, the land is covered in a layer of white and a chill slowly settles into your skin. This is not the time to snuggle under warm blankets, it’s time for adventure and exploration. We are introducing a brand new event island to explore this coming winter season. This Island will be one of the many that you will be able to visit once more biome is released in the future.
This island will feature brand new environments and layouts that were never seen before in Re:Legend. You will even be able to meet new Magnus and maybe different variations of existing one. Explore through the frozen landscape to discover new surroundings and make new friends. In the spirit of the Christmas season, we will be releasing this piece of content with the appropriate seasonal decoration too!
We here at Magnus Games studio are gearing up for something we hope is very interesting for all of you out there. We have been working on a significant major update to the game that will be coming out very, very soon. Today we would like to share with you some information about the major content that you can expect for this update.
We present you The Everdust Desert, a totally brand new biome to explore! Yes, it’s a whole proper biome with tons of new quests, NPC, and Magnus for you to fight and tame. As you can see from the image above, the new environment is something that you haven’t seen in Re:Legend before and we are excited to release this experience for all of you out there. This is one more step towards the completion of the full Re:Legend experience and out goal to reach 1.0 as soon as possible while releasing interesting content for all of you.
The new biome is littered with new and interesting Magnus, which will be a challenge for all of you to try to tame. Upgrade your barn in order to be able to keep all the new friends that you make here!
This new biome will also feature many new locations to explore, some of which will have their own unique NPC’s and maybe some familiar names. Traverse the new lands and play through the new Story Quest to learn more about this exotic location and Ethia in general.
We are proud to announce that among the new magnus that will be released, we are including designs from the backers on Kickstarter. We are sincerely grateful for all the contributions that you guys have given to us since the start of the campaign, up until the early access of Re:Legend. We hope that we can get your continued support and this new update will be able to provide a new experience for all of you until the next major patch. Can you spot which Magnus is created by our talented backers?
Onto the technical part of the update, Multiplayer has been a major focus of the team since releasing the game in Early Access. There will be an overhaul to how the Multiplayer system works in the upcoming Major patch, and we hope that the players will be able to have a great multiplayer experience when the update is rolled out. We understand that Multiplayer is very important to a lot of you out there, and we sincerely thank you for all the patience that you’ve had so far with the multiplayer. The fixes will come in stages, for December we are focusing on content synchronization which means we want to have a stable connection while questing, leveling, hunting, etc. The team is working hard on it and it is finally time to reveal it!
To make sure that the multiplayer is stable upon releasing the patch, we will be rolling out a “Beta Branch” starting from the 6th of December on steam for players who want to help us out on bug exterminations. You can opt to launch the game in the beta branch in Steam’s game setting and gain access to new content early on but bear in mind that the usage of this branch is to look for bugs instead of having a bug free experience. With that being said, feel free to break the game as much as you could in the beta branch and report them to us so that we can fix them as soon as possible.
As a final piece of news, we have here a new NPC that will be introduced during the new update. What do you think? Can you guess what kind of character this is? We will be talking more about this character in the next update and feel free to leave your speculations in the comments below!
That’s all we have now ! To all the November babies out there, Happy Birthday! (there are quite a few here in the studio) We hope to hear from all of you about the update that will be dropping very, VERY soon. Do let us know what you think about the upcoming major patch in the comments below. We will go through all of them and are keeping all your suggestions in mind. Thank you for everything, we wish you a happy month! See you in game soon!
( Although we are a relatively small studio, but we've got some emails and messages about our community voting for us at the steam's year end nomination foe games. We wold really really love to take this chance to express how grateful and happy we are to have such caring community! This really brighten up our day in the studio! Time to work harder for the upcoming patch! <3 <3 <3 )
