Greetings, Gatekeepers!
[p align="start"]We’ve launched the Steam page for the Crustad DLC. And we’d like to share what we’re working on right now.[/p]
Version 1.2
[p align="start"]The free major update
1.2 has grown larger than expected, so its release is shifting by about a month.[/p][p align="start"]But before you worry - here’s what’s coming.[/p][p][/p][p]
Fully Reworked Artifact Ban System[/p][p align="start"]We’ve completely redesigned the artifact ban system in the Emporium.
Previously, you had only 10 ban slots for the entire artifact pool. Now you have 40 slots total, split into 5 artifact categories.[/p][p align="start"]Slots unlock as you discover artifacts within their category.
And most importantly, banning is now free. Experiment with builds as much as you like.[/p][p]
Aspect System[/p][p align="start"]Aspects are gameplay modifiers that can make your run more challenging - or easier.
We’ll share more details later.[/p][p]
Soul Engine[/p][p align="start"]A new type of mission.
Activate the Soul Engine and defeat enemies within its area to charge it.[/p][p]
Altar of Interception[/p][p align="start"]An optional activity. Summon the Fugitive and see what he’s hiding in his backpack.[/p][p align="start"]And that’s not all - we’ll reveal more closer to release.[/p]
Gatekeeper: Crustad
[p align="start"]A paid DLC
(at a fair price, we promise) that lets you travel to the planet Crustad, fight Lord Crustad, and attempt to rescue your fellow gatekeeper -
Maverick.[/p][p][/p][p align="start"]A full overview will come later, but here’s a short list of what to expect:[/p][*][p]An alternate final boss with an exclusive soundtrack[/p]
[*][p]A new Gatekeeper[/p]
[*][p]A new planet and a new enemy roster[/p]
[*][p]11 new artifacts[/p]
[*][p]5 new triads[/p]
[*][p]A new mission type[/p]
[*][p]A new altar[/p]
[*][p]
The Iron Range - a brand-new side activity for Gatekeeper[/p]
Holiday Update
[p align="start"]Before the New Year, we’ll release a small update with bug fixes and festive location customization to help lift the mood while we prepare larger content drops.[/p][p][/p][p align="start"]Thank you for staying with us. We hope you enjoy what’s coming.[/p][p][/p][p align="start"]
See you in the Amphitheater!—
