If you weren't already in the mood for this massive DLC, check out the brand new Wrath of the Architect trailer here:
[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

[h2]Boss Fights[/h2]
This DLC comes with 4 new bosses and 4 new minibosses. The gatekeepers of the altered new worlds will show no mercy, especially to that of a measly Ember Knight.



If you manage to survive these deadly new bosses, prepare for the ultimate showdown as you take on the creator of the entire Ember Knights universe himself - The Architect!


[h2]Weapons[/h2]
2 new weapons will be added to your repertoire - the Hyper Gloves and the Ember Buster. Both weapons offer a unique new way to defeat the legions of new enemies waiting for you in this DLC.





[h2]Game Modes[/h2]
Fancy an even tougher challenge than the Architect? Stop by to see The Collector and gain access to Daily Dungeons and Boss Rush Mode. He may have even taken a page out of Arlan's book and opened up a small shop of his own!

[h3]Daily Dungeons[/h3]

[h3]Boss Rush[/h3]



[h2]Price[/h2]
The Wrath of the Architect DLC is $9.99/9,99€ (or equivalent) while Ember Knights 2.0 is absolutely free.


[h2]FAQ[/h2]
I bought the DLC, when will I get the new content? Spoilers ahead.

• If you're a brand new player, the DLC content will unlock after meeting Evee and seeing Praxis in Steadfast Citadel, the second world of the base game. Note: these two conditions occur very early in the game and are required to preserve the flow of the story.
• If you're already a player, the DLC content will unlock right away.

Does the DLC work in multiplayer?

• Yes

Do my friends need to buy the DLC for us to play together?

• No. If the host has purchased the DLC, the team will have access to the new content. However, for a client to have the new content on their own account, they would need to purchase the DLC.

Are the different game modes available in multiplayer?

• Yes

[h2]Streaming[/h2]
As usual, developers Clint and Greg will be streaming on the afternoon of release day. For specific details and to be notified when they go live, please join our Discord and give yourself the @DevStream role.




We could go on and on about this update, but we'd rather you experience it for yourself. We hope you enjoy!

Hello, Knights!

This is a bit of a surprise update since we originally planned to cease updates between 1.5 and Ember Knights 2.0 - Wrath of the Architect, but the following content could not be ignored!


[h2]EMBER CAT - GLOBAL COMMUNITY CHALLENGE[/h2]
We've heard your requests for an Ember Cat to go along with our adorable Ember Dog, so we've created a global community challenge for our players to show us that there's enough interest for an Ember Cat. If there is, we are committed to making the Ember Cat a reality!



When you first launch the 1.5.2 update, you'll see a new icon on the main menu. Opening that will provide more information as to how the challenge works. In short, just keep doing what you do - go on runs, kill enemies, kill minibosses and bosses, and earn points!
Once in the Nexus, visit the new Wanted sign that the Stewards have so carefully built. This will be your home for keeping track of your personal progress as well as the global points total.
For your individual efforts, we've added some fun new rewards!




[h2]ASTRAL ASCENT COLLABORATION[/h2]
We've been talking to the wonderful people over at Hibernian Workshop and it turns out, they're huge fans of Ember Knights! We also love what they're doing with Astral Ascent, so we decided to collaborate! We love what we've come up with and we think you will too!

Both games feature crossover content and in Ember Knights, you'll now see a cute little Yalee running around the Nexus. Interact with them and they'll give you a brand new skill - the Yalee Barrage. In addition, they'll also give you the Astral Ember Dust to unlock a brand new player color!



Also be sure to check out the latest update from Astral Ascent (also live today!) as they created their version of the Praxis fight!




[h2]ACTION-PACKED ROGUELITE GEMS BUNDLE[/h2]
And finally, in addition to teaming up with Hibernian, we've also partnered with our friends at Gentle Giant and Flying Oak Games to bring you this exciting new bundle! If you haven't yet checked out Astral Ascent, Spiritfall, or ScourgeBringer, now would be a great time!
