Big Update 0.3.0
[h2]Hi everyone![/h2]
Today is the day - we’ve just released the 0.3.0 Update!
It’s our biggest update yet! If you haven’t seen the trailer for it, go and check it out now using the link below:

Now that you’re back, we’re going to take a closer look at the new features. We have a lot of exciting content to go over, so let’s begin!
Our original GAIA system got not only improved, but extended too! We’ve added a lot of new ways for the enemies to cooperate with each other and attack in surprising ways.
As a reminder - GAIA allows the AI to evaluate the situation dynamically and decide to take action by itself, so it can launch anywhere at any time.
New GAIA actions include Cyclops throwing explosive barrels (or even other enemies) at you, feasting on people to heal themselves, skeletons molding into one big enemy and more.
Update 0.3.0 introduces a lot of new enemies. While playing, you’ll encounter giant spiders slashing their claws, deadly plants spitting poison, mighty statues trying to crush you, and more!
Test your skill against these various new opponents and come out victorious! (or not…)
The game now has a brand new crafting system! Collect ingredients while exploring the world of Ancient Greece, and combine them into new items on the go, using previously found crafting recipes.
Make new grenades, weapon reinforcements or resistance strengtheners whenever you need to!
We’ve decided to liven up our map a bit. It’s now full of destructible wooden barrels, crates, vases, and other objects that you can smash right through.
Some of these can drop items, so pick up your weapon of choice and get every last one of them!
You now have a lot more freedom in the keybinding department. Keyboard and mouse players can now bind up to two keys to one option, allowing the hold & click functionality.
Gamepad players also get more choices in how they play now. We’ve added 2 new default control schemes and a 3rd one that’s customizable.
These additions will allow everyone to control Achilles exactly how they want to.
Apart from the usual performance improvements, Update 0.3.0 introduces two new optional technologies - AMD FSR 2 and NVIDIA DLSS - that you can turn on in the settings.
They both visibly increase the game’s framerate, making Achilles: Legends Untold run as smooth as ever!
As we were saying for a while now, with this update the saves are going to be reset. You can either stay on the previous version of the game (0.2.0) by choosing a different branch in the Steam settings (see more here), or continue to the new and updated content.
We have good news! We’ve managed to put together a system that converts your character level from your old save and gives you the appropriate amount of souls after you finish the tutorial. We hope it will make the transition easier for you, and gives you even more motivation to explore this new update.
