We are excited to roll out Update 2.2 for DEVOUR. It brings you new playable character Anna Puerta, as well as an incredible new cosmetic, flashlight skins, a new perk, farmhouse mechanic changes and more. Please scroll down to see the full changelog as well as details on the next map.
[h2]New Character: Anna Puerta[/h2]
Anna Puerta has long been a fan favourite in DEVOUR lore, with her origins in DEVOUR's sequel game The Watchers. To clear up any confusion, Anna is a new, playable team member. You cannot play as possessed Anna (the demon) from the Farmhouse map. To play as Anna, you must complete Hard mode on any map.
We're also incredibly proud of the stunning new cosmetic, Mistress of Sin, that we're making available for Anna Puerta in this update.
[h2]New: Custom Flashlight Skins[/h2]
Introducing Flashlight skins, because who says you can't look good while burning hordes of demonic minions? Some flashlight skins can be unlocked with in-game Ritual Tokens, and some are paid for.
[h2]New Perk: Supercharged[/h2]
New perk 'Supercharged', increases movement speed by 30% for 20 seconds after using a battery.
[h2]Farmhouse Changes[/h2]
We've made 2 changes to The Farmhouse.
- The altar pit now requires a long interact to pour gasoline
- Anna will now stand still to scream on a goat burn (unless she is actively chasing someone)
Please let me explain some of the reasons for why we are making these changes:
- Anna had a bug. She wouldn't stand still to scream like the other AI and this lead to situations where the audio logic would break. By fixing this, it made The Farmhouse easier and so the long interact acts as a natural counterbalance to this.
- To balance the difficulty between maps. The Farmhouse is considerably easier than other maps (when using certain strategies) and so it ended up being the map that a large majority of players picked when grinding. We want all of our players to feel like they can play on any map.
- To give certain perks more value outside of just The Inn.
- To build more tension. The long interact mechanics were designed when creating The Inn and based on the positive feedback from our playerbase, we wanted to bring those mechanics into other maps. These small changes can have a very large impact on the fear factor that players, especially new ones, will experience in DEVOUR.

[h2]Next map[/h2]
