Skydance's BEHEMOTH - 3/25 Patch Release Notes

Skydance's BEHEMOTH - 3/25 Patch Release Notes To Our Dear Cursed Berserkers,

We hope you haven’t been waiting too long! Today is the day of our third major patch, and while it does include some highly anticipated fixes, it also includes a brand new feature:

NEW GAME PLUS!

What does this mean? Well, if you have completed the game, you’ll find that there’s a new option on the Main Menu: New Game+. Click on this button, and you’ll be able to carry over all of your unlocked abilities, Hero Weapons and health improvements to a fresh instance of the game! You can fight your way through the world as an overpowered demi-god and see exactly how far you’ve come in the Forsaken Lands. Have you missed any collectibles during your first run? Well, now you can explore our environments with the full panoply of grapple upgrades to pick up any you missed.

New Game Plus has been one of the most requested features from the community, and we’re super happy that we can finally release it to you. But that’s not all that’s in this patch! We’ve improved the fidelity and reactivity of our severing system, refined and tuned the strength activation visuals, improved the accuracy of hand grips across the board, all among many other fixes and refinements to the Behemoth experience.

We’re still working hard on further improvements, so stick around and see what we’ve got up our sleeves next time!

-Your Friends at Skydance Games
