Greetings Exiles!
We got a new patch with another slice of free new content: The Wine Cellar dungeon. Unveil the dark secrets of the past unearthed by the greed of the Relic Hunters, who in their rally for treasure awakened a long forgotten civilization better left in the past!
We’ve also introduced new optimizations for inventories that should help performance and stability alike, new idle animations to increase immersion as well as the usual round of general bugfixes. We can’t wait for all of you to try out this new content and give us your opinion in the comments below!
And last but not least, we’re also releasing the next DLC pack: The Debaucheries of Derketo. To see all there’s included in it, you can check out the launch announcement here! This new pack is included for Year 2 Season pass owners and can be also be purchased separately.
Thanks again for all your feedback and support.
New Dungeon: The Wine Cellar
Follow the path unearthed by the Relic Hunters and descend into the ruins of an old city whose inhabitants used to summon and worship something better left unknown. New loot and challenges await for those brave enough to follow the trail down the wine cellar.
