I'm excited to officially announce that Shades of Rayna 2 is currently in active development.

This sequel is being built from the ground up with a clear goal: delivering a more refined, polished, and focused ARPG experience while staying true to the core identity of the first game. Based on everything I learned from Shades of Rayna, I am reworking systems, improving presentation, and simplifying complexity without sacrificing depth.

• Developed with Unreal Engine 5

• Significantly improved visuals compared to the first game

• Higher-quality and more fluid animations

• Core mechanics from Shades of Rayna redesigned and presented in a cleaner, more intuitive way

• All classes from the first game will return

• A brand-new Necromancer class will be added

• No Early Access — the game will release as a complete experience

• Sold at a fixed price

• No DLCs planned at launch

• No relic system

• Each class will have 10 unique skills

• Every skill includes both an active and a passive component

• Players can equip:
