changedWhat Lies BeneathYour castles stand on more than stone. This update reaches into their foundations: audio, UI, physics, AI crowd simulation, world systems. In short, everything that makes the world run. After sweeping optimisations across all these areas, we tested extensively across different hardware and locations in-game. From mid-range rigs to high-end builds, the results were clear: smoother performance across the board. Steam post image

Missing Gems

During the Enchantment update, gems were unintentionally stripped from your vaults. We sincerely apologise for the oversight! As compensation, those with already started games will find 5 rare gems in their treasury. And we'll keep the Inquisition's fingers away from your vaults going forward.

While this is one of the bigger performance passes, these are happening on a smaller scale with every update.

We will see you in Sangavia and keep an eye out for our next stream.

~~We might be showing some more character creator sneak peeks~~~ Due to technical difficulties, we will not be able to show the Character Creator just yet :(
