changedUpdates on Ultimate EditionWith all the love and work we’ve been putting into Ultimate Edition, we feel that the game is deserving of its own Steam store page as a standalone product. This page will be going live for wishlists shortly - and we'd really appreciate if you could help spread the word once this happens!

addedUpdates on Ultimate EditionDid we mention that Ultimate Edition is a huge update? Don't just take our word for it... see for yourself in this new teaser trailer just how much the game has evolved.

fixedUpdates on Ultimate EditionAfter the release of our demo, we got some great feedback that we've put into Ultimate Edition. Players felt that Act 1 looked pretty similar in the Ultimate Edition demo to how it looked in the base game - so we’ve made massive visual upgrades to go along with the polished gameplay style. We’ve also fixed minor user experience issues that popped up, like some text boxes staying on screen too long.

addedThe ReaperThe Reaper is one of the new enemies exclusive to Ultimate Edition. And we honestly think he just looks so cool, that we had to show you a preview of his combat sequence (spoilers, of course!)

addedMore new abilities in Ultimate EditionReframe is a new move exclusive to the Ultimate Nightmare difficulty mode in Ultimate Edition that lets Tristan parry an incoming attack and counter with a high-damage punch. This will be one of five new skills added to the skill tree in the Ultimate Nightmare difficulty mode.

addedMore new abilities in Ultimate EditionSecond Wind is a new ability available in all difficulties of Ultimate Edition that allows Tristan to unleash his true power.
