Greetings members of the Crimson Wings!

We've got some pretty cool news for you today. Chained Echoes just received Trading Cards on Steam. That also means some backgrounds are available and some emjois you can from now on use on Steam as well. Well. That's basically the news. But we'd like to give some background information on that as well!

The Trading Cards were created by the amazing Mosqi, a member from the community and a well known artist who works with watercolors in first place. He created a super cool fanart for Chained Echoes and posted it on Twitter. We got in touch and asked him if he'd be interested in designing the Trading Cards for the game. And that's how things started.

Greetings everyone,

We hope you still enjoy exploring Valandis. We also hope you like NG+ and experiment a bit around with it. While we can't confirm yet what's next for Chained Echoes, we'd like to confirm again that we will stay a little longer in Valandis. Those of you who participated in the Reddit AMA already knew that. However, let us be clear here: It will take a while till we can share further details.

In other news, we just have applied a new update which comes with a few fixes. And one major change for a certain market: Thanks to our regional partner in China, WhisperGames, Chained Echoes is now available with Simplified Chinese!

Hello everyone!

Update v1.2 is here including the New Game + feature and small changes to the crystal crafting system. This update is live on Steam and will arrive on other platforms due to new content within the next 1-2 weeks.

The New Game + feature unlocks after beating the game and having a cleared save file. You can choose this feature from the start menu.

Details regarding crystal system changes can be read below.

v. 1.2

• Added: New Game + option in the start menu when cleared save file is present
  
• Added: New way of obtaining crystals
• 
  
• Added: Crystal gather chains
• *
  
• Added: Option to lower running speed
  
• Added: More Stat Boosts and Passive Skills for Kylian for NG+
  
• Changed: Removing crystals from equipment yields the proper former crystal
• **
  
• Changed: Selling equipment auto-removes the crystal
  
• Changed: Lowered chance of getting big crystals
  
• Changed: Crystals with a purity of 0 can’t drop
  
• Changed: Smoother crafting menu navigation
  
• Changed: A few enemy stats
  
• Changed: Lowered bonus from agility passive and class emblem bonus
  
• Changed: Double Steps & Drunken Master don’t stack.
  
• Fixed: bug regarding the Shaved Head boss
  
• Fixed: other minor bugs and collision errors
  

* When interacting with a crystal source the player now gets a choice of three crystals for every drop. The player can choose one or none. Choosing none gives the player arc depending on their game’s progress. This gives the player more control over which crystals he wants and which he considers useless for his builds. Also, this makes the inventory less cluttered. This whole system can be turned off in the options.

** If the player chooses a crystal a chain starts. The more crystals of the same property are gathered the more likely they will drop. Choosing a crystal with a different property will restart the chain. Choosing none will continue the chain. This makes hunting for certain crystals a lot easier. When a crystal drop is boosted through a chain it is marked as “Boost”

***This only applies to crystals inserted in version 1.2 or higher.

Thanks for your support!
