Hello hunters!

Today we’re launching the Powers-A-Plenty Update! This update aims to add variety to hunts by expanding the pool of powers and putting more of an emphasis on powers that change how you interact with the world instead of simply boosting the power of your hunter.

Powers-A-Plenty also adds an entirely new type of power: The “Weapon Power”. Weapon powers aim to change how you play for the remainder of the hunt by doing things like tweaking the core rules of your weapon’s move set, adding new attacks, or changing how existing attacks behave.

In addition to all of the tweaks to the powers in the game, we’ve also been fixing bugs and implementing QoL suggestions that we’ve seen reported or suggested. We've also updated localization support for Russian and Castilian Spanish.

Additions

  • New power type to discover: Weapon Powers

  • Many new powers, including within all four fabled power families

  • New accessibility option: Hunter's Assist (local games only)

  • Russian language localization

  • Fixed issue where Shell Drake's bite could cause more damage than expected

  • Fixed bug with Grimhollow's saplings that caused their shield to last for longer than intended

  • Fixed bug where Rook would sometimes not topple after all crystals in the room were killed

  • Fixed a bug in Phase 2 of the Tefframech fight where the boss would be unable to do its double swipe attack if players ran back and forth behind it during its attack hold state

The next (and final) content update will be larger than this one and focuses primarily on filling out the endgame with content that we've teased in the in-game cutscenes. We currently expect to release a beta for that update in September/October.
