addedHello Summoner!After our previous update with the new fusion system and a short break over the holidays, we are now well into the year and working hard on the final phase of the Demonlore expansion roadmap! We have a brief update on this below.

addedHello Summoner!Before that, just a reminder to new players and demo players.

addedHello Summoner!For New Players: If you have recently purchased the game, please see the forums for instructions on how to access the free Demonlore expansion. You can still play on the older version for now (1.2.4) however all of the latest expansion content will only be available on the public test branch until the expansion is fully released. It's open to everyone that owns the game, so we encourage you to try it out!

addedHello Summoner!For Demo Players: The latest demo does include some of the new content and mechanics from the free Demonlore expansion. Keep in mind it is a few patches behind and doesn't have the latest updates to the veterancy system (or the new fusion system).

addedFrom The DevelopersPhase 3 of the roadmap is underway. We have had a lot of great feedback from players and are really happy with how everything is shaping up. The major aspect of this phase is the new Stage-5 and new major boss that will offer, bringing everything together for an epic main run.

addedFrom The DevelopersWe have a good amount of minibosses and new enemies already, so during this phase we will also be shuffling around where they fit into the available runs to determine what has the best feel. Part of this will potentially include moving the first 3 main bosses to the end of each key run, and replacing them with minibosses to the main run.

Updated Roadmap!

From The Developers

Phase 3 of the roadmap is underway. We have had a lot of great feedback from players and are really happy with how everything is shaping up. The major aspect of this phase is the new Stage-5 and new major boss that will offer, bringing everything together for an epic main run.

We have a good amount of minibosses and new enemies already, so during this phase we will also be shuffling around where they fit into the available runs to determine what has the best feel. Part of this will potentially include moving the first 3 main bosses to the end of each key run, and replacing them with minibosses to the main run.

In addition to the items listed on the roadmap, there will also be another pass on polish and QoL features, including some requested keybind and controller changes.

We look forward to more of your feedback as we roll out the next series of updates.

One Quick Note: Above are our current plans, but, they are subject to change based on player feedback.
