Nexus of Nightmares is here!

Welcome to the Nexus of Nightmares update, a brand-new expansion for Dawncaster.

What's in the box?

A Dawncaster expansion update has 2 major components:

1. A free update available to everyone. 70+ new cards to discover, new features and content, and much more (see below).

2. An optional paid content expansion (DLC), adding 3 new zones and over 30 challenging encounters to the game.

The free content update

Nexus of Nightmares adds 70 new player cards to the game. These cards expand on many of the archetypes introduced during the Synthesis card expansion, as well as opening up new playstyles for your favorite classes.

In addition, this major 1.19 update introduces:

Puzzles! A brand-new way to learn the basics of the game and to test your game knowledge, with 13 challenges and more to come.

Foiling! Make your favorite cards extra shiny by upgrading them to premium versions. By popular demand, you can now go to the Codex and spend extra Fateshards to really bling up the cards you'll be playing most.

The paid DLC

In addition to the free content, Nexus of Nightmares also adds a brand-new storyline, a new NPC, 3 new areas, and over 30 challenging encounters to the game. The DLC is optional content and can be purchased via the store. This supports the game and helps us continue to create more content for Dawncaster.

*Note: the DLC might not be available on day 1 of the patch release, as it has to be approved by Steam. We will update this post as soon as the DLC is officially available in the store.

Changes and patch notes:

• Bosses and mini-bosses now offer 6 card rewards on defeat

• Added 15+ new bounties

• Added new talents

• Added 5 new Malignancies

• Added new keywords: Manifest, Lightless, Disrupt & more

• Various bug fixes & minor balance changes

• Various improvements to localization and accessibility

We'll be monitoring the patch launch over the coming days, since given the scope of a game like Dawncaster there are bound to be a few bugs that slipped through the cracks.

That said, we really want to thank all our playtesters for the reports we've been getting over the past few weeks. Creating and maintaining a game like Dawncaster wouldn't be possible without support from our community, and we're very thankful for your continued involvement in making Dawncaster the best card game it can be <3

That's all for this update. As always, if you like what we're doing here, give us a ːsteamthumbsupː up and we'll catch you in the post-launch update :)
