This update introduces many new mechanics and an exciting new game mode.
Here’s what you can find:
New Game+ Mode
After completing the main story, unlock New Game+, which will introduce a lot of new content!
New areas and bosses
In New Game+, you will find new areas by defeating bosses or clearing specific zones.
Elite Enemies
In the new mode, you will encounter elite enemies, which are far stronger than regular ones but will grant you extra bonuses. And it’s not just the monsters getting stronger - you will, too.
Forge
In New Game+ mode, you’ll be able to upgrade your army even further, making them tougher and more powerful.
Unlock this feature after transitioning to New Game+ and opening the Army panel.
Craft
Our new crafting system allows you to combine items of the same type to create improved versions. You can even choose which characteristics to apply to these items!
Unlock this feature after clearing the First Centaur area: Ep1. The Centaur Approach in Chapter 2 in New Game (not New Game+).
Ichor
A new currency that allows you to upgrade your Legendary and Arcana items. This currency only drops from elite enemies and as rewards from areas in New Game+.
Enhance Legendary/Arcana Items
You can now upgrade your Legendary and Arcana items with Ichor.
Unlock this feature after clearing the area: Ep1. The War Begins in Chapter 1 in New Game+.
