Features

Reforged Mode (Alpha)

- Activate Reforged Mode (Alpha) during character creation.

- Your character will have a badge visible in-game.

- Piken Square will be accessible as an outpost for Reforged Mode players in pre-Searing Ascalon - but you'll have to fight your way there.

- Enemies have lower health and armor in pre-Searing Ascalon.

- Henchmen have been retuned and are more powerful with additional skills.

- The Northlands in pre-Searing Ascalon has additional spawns.

- For multiplayer parties, all players have to be in Reforged Mode to experience Reforged Mode content and balance changes. Mixed parties will see the standard content.

- This is an alpha feature we are sharing early to gather feedback. It is only presented in English.

Dhuum's Covenant (Beta)

- Activate Dhuum's Covenant during character creation.

- Dhuum's Covenant is a challenging mode, available throughout the game, where you strive to avoid dying. Ever.

- Characters created with Dhuum's Covenant get a badge visible in-game.

- Upon your character's death, you lose the badge permanently (but can keep playing the character).

- Any titles you earn while under Dhuum's Covenant will have the badge in the Hero panel.

- If you lose Dhuum's Covenant, any future ranks earned for that title will not display the badge.

- This is a beta feature and may undergo changes. It is currently only presented in English. We'd love your feedback!

Four Player Parties in Pre-Searing Ascalon

- This matches the maximum party size at the beginning of Factions and Nightfall.

One More Thing

Classic pregame backgrounds

- You can now choose which background scene is displayed during login and character selection!

- Choose your background in Options->General->Pregame Scene.

- Choose between Prophecies, Factions, Nightfall, and Eye of the North.

- The Prophecies scene was not designed to support 360 degree views therefore it has a fixed camera placement. There is some risk that the zoom level may cut off some of your view of your character in ultrawide screen resolutions.

Bug Fixes

- Fixed a delay where Steam DLC was not always available immediately after purchase.

- Fixed a bug where the mouse would move unexpectedly when you touched the screen on some devices like Steam Deck and Windows-enabled touchscreens.
