Hello Everyone!

We’re excited to share the first weekly update for Shadow of Ancients with you! With this patch, we’ve made the demo smoother, more stable, and more enjoyable to play.

What’s Included in This Update:

  • Adjustments and fixes for loading screens

  • Fixed mouse disappearance issues in menus

  • General graphics optimization

  • DLSS and Frame Generation added

  • UI (interface) improvements and refinements

  • Fixed several battle arena bugs

  • Resolved game loading and startup issues

What’s Next?

We’re currently working on known map issues, the Trial of Purity level, and enemy adjustments. For the next update, our goal is to replace the current compass system with a proper mini-map, to improve navigation and exploration!

  • In some missions, your targets may not be visible on the compass. They activate after a short walk around.

  • Teleportation is achieved on the second attempt using teleportation stones (Obelisks).
