Patch 5# - Sandbox update / Major Update

We have heard your wishes, it is time for the SANDBOX UPDATE!

This mode lets you dive straight into all the wonderful trinkets, tools, and materials the game offers! (So some spoilers will be present) We recommend you play the main game to understand the smithing progress and tools before jumping into the sandbox mode.

Together with the new game mode, multiple save slots have been added! This allows you to have different saves, switch between save slots, see your current progression as well as delete saves to start a new game!

Oh, and we have decorated the upstairs area, now you’ve got a new cozy living area to explore. I wonder what those rolls do? 🤔🎵

If you happen to run into any issues after installing this latest patch, please contact support@fasttravelgames.com and submit a full bug report to help us solve your problem. Thank you for playing BlackForge: A Smithing Adventure!
