changedThis winter, we’re delivering an update packed with groundbreaking features and Christmas cheer. With legendary weapons, immersive environments, and much-needed multiplayer fixes based on your feedback, there’s never been a better time to join the fray. Here’s what’s in store:
changedAncient Flying SwordNow decimate hordes of enemies without lifting a foot via the ancient sword that mimics your hand gestures, but that’s not all — You can take to the skies by jumping on the blade and controlling it, unleashing devastating aerial combos and maneuvers while you fly through the battlefield in style!
addedBeware the Enchanted Enemies!Get ready for a tougher challenge as some goblins, skeletons, wraiths, and warriors now wield weapons imbued with mystical elemental powers! From ice and fire to lightning and gripping enchantments, these weapons bring elemental power to the battlefield. In multiplayer, with friendly fire enabled, even your teammates aren’t safe from these effects! Stay sharp—both friend and foe might bring the heat (or frost)!
addedHands-On Gameplay Like Never Before:Forget controllers! With new hand tracking support, you can grab objects by gripping with three fingers and use gestures like pinching your index finger and thumb to trigger actions. You can grab props in the real world while picking up weapons in the game and swing them, elevating your MR and VR gameplay to new levels of immersion! Please note, this is hand tracking feature, and you need to hold the props to turn them into weapons. Currently, it is in the experimental stage, and only grip and trigger functions are supported. It cannot track individual fingers yet, and the tracking accuracy is still being improved. We will continue to refine it.
addedExciting Enhancement for Adventure Mode and BeyondWe’ve made getting started easier with new side quests and dialogues to guide you through the adventure. Additionally, some talents in the Talent Temple now feature demonstration videos for better understanding, and each level will randomly spawn an extra weapon, unlocked through the Talent Temple, to keep your combat options fresh and exciting!
changedExciting Enhancement for Adventure Mode and BeyondMind Control Spell now supports voice recognition, allies can be controlled using voice commands! Simply say commands like stay, stop, idle, attack, go, follow, come, or back to seamlessly direct your NPC allies’ actions. Additionally, with ModTK optimizations, you can now create voice-controlled mods, opening up endless possibilities for custom gameplay experiences.
