WRATH: Aeon of Ruin News

Greetings mortal! We are back with a third major Content Update and there's a lot new stuff for all of you to enjoy, explore and exterminate!

This update brings in a brand new level called The Hollow - a forest choked with ancient trees and forgotten ruins. Delve into the heart of the long-corrupted woods and discover the new Trinket of Deflection, an Artifact that summons an arcane shield. Activate the Trinket of Deflection in emergencies to ward off enemy projectiles or go on the offensive and unleash bullets, bones, and blood. But beware the Lurker, a new aquatic abomination waiting in the depths.

Hello WRATH Supporters!

Our team has been hard at work on WRATH: Aeon of Ruin during this difficult year. We know we have been quiet during the past few months, but we are excited to return with good news. We are back and ready to support the third content update for Early Access in January. We wanted to hit December 22, but some of our team fell ill to Covid-19, and we wanted to take extra time to make this new update extraordinary. Moreover, in order to make WRATH the best we can, we are moving the 1.0 launch into Summer 2021. We will announce a more specific, definitive date early next year.

We apologize for the delay, but we know that you will love what we have to offer with WRATH’s future.



Happy Holidays to all of you! Till the next time, you can enjoy these teaser screenshots of the new map!
