Hi Travelers,

We’ve got an exciting update: the new DLC content that we had promised is now almost complete

There will be a total of two DLC packs that we plan to release sometime in January - we’ll have another update soon when the release date is determined.


⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀  （Coming soon, still working on the DLC KV done）
[h3]DLC1 - Champion of Chaos[/h3]

This will be a [free DLC] release of extensive new content added to the base game and inspired by some of the most popular suggestions and feedback we’ve collected from the community. This DLC includes:

• Reworks of 300+ skills
  
• 17+ NPC new designed talent trees.
  
• A new function "Master Learn" interaction will be available for NPC encounters: upon befriending existing and new NPC’s, using this new function you will be able to acquire their signature skills.
  

[h3]DLC2 - The Tournament[/h3]

This will be released as a [Paid DLC]; This expansion pack comes with a new 3v3 arena battle mode. Team up with two other players and participate in a series of fierce elimination matches for a chance to win rare equipment and items. You may also enter the Spectator Mode and place small bets on the battle outcomes to win big money.

The expansion pack will also introduce new heroes, gears, and items that you can use in the base game, offering greater variety to build possibilities:

• Experience the wonderful hero combos with 3 new gameplay mechanics around the competitive - tournament gameplay;
  
• 5 new recruitable NPC’s, each with their own unique mechanics and new visuals;
  
• Dominate the arena with 25+ new design item and skill and reap the rewards;

And we’re now looking for 50 playtesters to help test the new content prior to release to collect feedback and eliminate possible technical problems. Playtesters will be randomly selected from those who apply through the application - https://forms.gle/7nNGsYkw6big4Pk1Aand contacted by our moderators. Thank you very much!



[h3]Wait, there’s more! Mobile LQA Plan[/h3]

Recently, a rumor has been circulating in the Taverns of the Great Desert: on the snowy mountain, a undead army of Zombies and Evil Elves has appeared, crawling out of the ground in groups and constantly attacking passing merchants and armies on the Salzaar continent.

For a time, the people of Salzaar were in panic, and rumors spread. Some say that a foreign visitor who has never been seen before is engaged in a deadly battle with these undead creatures; some say that the person can kill monsters with just a crossbow; but some also say that it is not the appearance of a human, but...

Hey adventurers!

It hasn’t been that long, but we’ve missed you all!

We trust that you recall the Easter Egg Mod that we’ve prepared as a part of the anniversary celebration from our previous community post, so here we are today with this exciting update along with 50% OFF for Winter Sale!



This Mod actually goes back to some similar gameplay from the Steam Workshop a while back, which was very well received by the community at the time. So for our anniversary, we invited the very creators of the original mod to develop this mod, in which adventurers will play as A SQUIRREL as they face off against incoming enemies and attempt to survive for up to 20 minutes.



We’d like to take this opportunity to express our appreciation for the creator of this mod - HA会长、元心、玩蛋被针对了、昵称啥的不重要、eeejsj、沉寂、一点丶. If you enjoy the mod, or have any feedback or suggestions, let us know in the comments below - we’ll continue to make appropriate adjustments throughout the event.



And of course, during the Steam Winter Sale, the base game will be 50% off, so we hope to see more adventurers join the exotic desert in Sands of Salzaar!
The previously mentioned DLC is already in the works, and we’re on track to releasing it in Jan!

We are grateful for the support of our community and are excited to continue bringing new content to the game. As previously announced, our dev team has been working on a new DLC plan and we’re thrilled to have received some positive feedback and encouragement from the community. Thank you all for your ongoing support!

So we’ve prepared a little surprise and special gift for you: The anniversary mod [The Desert Zombie]! （Due to the ongoing pandemic, we have to postpone the release date to [December 23rd], Sands of Salzaar will be on 50% off for you)

While we continue to work on the upcoming DLC, we hope this brings some additional fun to you guys while you wait for the DLC to be released.

[h3][Anniversary MOD - The Desert Zombie ][/h3]

While we were scrolling through some of the amazing community content in the workshop, we discovered a hidden gem that we believe many of our players would enjoy - a vampire playstyle
Zombie MOD

This adrenaline-pumping combat against endless waves of monsters has become a popular game mode in recent years, and it’s something our community has been eagerly anticipating
So we thought, why don’t we give it a little experiment? We then reached out to several talented mod creators and collaborated with them to work on this fun mod together :)


⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀   (Not Final MOD Level! xD)

We would like to express our deepest gratitude to the mod creators: HA会长、元心、玩蛋被针对了
、昵称啥的不重要、eeejsj、沉寂、一点丶



This is the first time our development team has worked with the mod creators, and it has been such a great experience; However, due to the ongoing pandemic, the mod couldn’t make it for the anniversary and we have to postpone the release date to December 23rd. By then, Sands of Salzaar will be on 50% off at the lowest price ever!

Moving forward, we will continue to update the MOD's content in collaboration with the mod creators, adding more classes and more skill options. If the community like it, we will take this into consideration and further plans after the DLCs release.



[h3][DLC progress update][/h3]

The development of the DLC is still in progress. If everything goes smoothly, we should be able to do a DLC test event at the end of December. We hope adventurers will join in.


⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀(A new mode Still in Chinese development, but there will have a EN for sure)

We greatly appreciate your support and participation in the first year of Sands of Salzaar and we couldn’t have gotten here today without any single one of you!
