Update -- December 18, 2025

Features

Our partners at 2weeks.games have been hard at work understanding our tool chains. We present to you their first experiments!

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.
  • Players gain 5% more experience and gold in the Prophecies campaign.
  • 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 ultra-wide 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.
