Greetings,

Hope you've all been keeping well & the New Year is treating you all with kindness (at least at the beginning). It has been a moment since our last update, and we're glad to share we have been hard at work on Slain 2. Here's a bit of recap for ya.

Some of the first looks we've had included place-holder sword for Akran, glad to confirm Bathoryn is now in place and getting it's elemental powers right.

With more locations, come more story elements and writing, so we're chiselling away at that. There might be some familiar faces coming back for the saga fans out there. Steam post imageSteam post image

Here's a bit of a look for some upcoming enemies/NPCs, that are already in-game (gif optimized for Steam purposes).

And finally, a couple of scenes that just look kick-ass.
