Grim Dawn changes
The long wait is over! Alongside our most comprehensive free QOL update ever (patch v1.3.0), you now have Grim Dawn's largest expansion ever!
The team could not be more proud of how Fangs of Asterkarn turned out. This may not be Grim Dawn 2, but to us it is very much Grim Dawn 1.5. A massive expansion of everything you’ve loved about the game and so much more. We’ve raised the quality bar in every way imaginable, with more custom unique art, more animations, a fantastic soundtrack recorded with a live orchestra, and a massive world that has never been more compelling to explore every inch of.
Our final expansion is a love letter to the community that will send off Grim Dawn with a triumphant roar.
