Battle Talent News

We know you’ve been itching for new weapons, and we’ve got three fresh ones ready to shake things up! Two in-game beasts and one official mod weapon, each packing some seriously cool abilities. Can’t wait to see the insane combos you come up with!

We’re also always listening to community feedback (if you haven’t joined yet, now’s the time!). This update brings smoother hand tracking, better sound effects, improved MR performance, and some key bug fixes, including crash issues and object collisions when crouching. Let’s jump in!


[h2] New Weapon: Spear of Return [/h2]

Throw! Pierce! Recall! Detonate!

Hurl the spear with divine retribution, its blade piercing through multiple enemies. If it strikes terrain, the impaled foes will be pinned like specimens.



The Spear of Return obeys your command—summon it back instantly at any time. But this is only the beginning of the true art of slaughter. When recalled, an illusory shadow lingers in place, and all remnants of these shadows become deadly bombs you’ve strategically planted!



[h2] New Weapon: Thunderbolt Wolf Claw [/h2]

Each strike charges the weapon with unstable lightning energy. After multiple attacks, lightning surges forth, triggering chain lightning that weaves a deadly electric web across your enemies.

When the lightning is at its peak, you can launch the electrified claws, transforming them into a raging storm of lightning that electrifies everything in its path.





Once the claws are thrown, you can instantly reforge them, triggering a shockwave that paralyzes nearby enemies.





[h2] New Official Mod Weapon: Khopeshrang [/h2]

(Requires download from the mod menu)

When thrown, the Khopeshrang will automatically return to your hand. Hold to charge, and upon hitting its first target, it will begin a spatial teleportation slash between enemies. Raise your hand and swing in midair, and the Khopeshrang will obey, striking down your chosen prey with deadly precision.

At any time during this sequence, you can reactivate it to have the Khopeshrang orbit around you, creating a spinning blade barrier that repels any enemy daring to approach.


[h2] Major Improvements [/h2]

Sound Enhancements: We’ve improved numerous sound effects, including most weapon and environmental audio. We’ll continue optimizing in-game audio—stay tuned!

Better Item Interaction: When crouching to pick up objects or enemy corpses, your legs will no longer accidentally kick them away. Now, leg collisions are ignored when crouching, making it easier to interact with objects on the ground.



Weapon Tutorials: To help players master weapons more easily, you can now watch weapon demo videos from both the Talent Tablet and Cheat Menu.



Crash Fixes: We’ve resolved several crash-related issues for a smoother experience.

Japanese Language Support: The game now supports Japanese, and weapon descriptions have been refined for better clarity.

Hand Tracking & MR Enhancements:
- Hand movement tracking is now smoother, weapons are less likely to slip, and fist punching is supported.
- MR enemy and player body visuals have been improved, and weapons now refresh post-battle for a seamless experience.

This winter, we’re delivering an update packed with groundbreaking features and Christmas cheer. With legendary weapons, immersive environments, and much-needed multiplayer fixes based on your feedback, there’s never been a better time to join the fray. Here’s what’s in store:



[h2]Excalibur[/h2]
The legendary sword in stone arrives to Battle Talent with devastatingly powerful abilities for both the 'Stone' and 'Sword' components! Use the sword to slay your enemies and the stone to strike any remaining ones down into dust.





[h2]Ancient Flying Sword[/h2]
Now decimate hordes of enemies without lifting a foot via the ancient sword that mimics your hand gestures, but that’s not all — You can take to the skies by jumping on the blade and controlling it, unleashing devastating aerial combos and maneuvers while you fly through the battlefield in style!






The Sandbox Castle and Multiplayer Hall of Homology have transformed into a magical Christmas Night mode! Explore the festive charm under the starry skies, but watch out for the campfires—don’t let the flames catch you!




Get ready for a tougher challenge as some goblins, skeletons, wraiths, and warriors now wield weapons imbued with mystical elemental powers! From ice and fire to lightning and gripping enchantments, these weapons bring elemental power to the battlefield.
In multiplayer, with friendly fire enabled, even your teammates aren’t safe from these effects! Stay sharp—both friend and foe might bring the heat (or frost)!




[h2]Hands-On Gameplay Like Never Before: [/h2]
Forget controllers! With new hand tracking support, you can grab objects by gripping with three fingers and use gestures like pinching your index finger and thumb to trigger actions. You can grab props in the real world while picking up weapons in the game and swing them, elevating your MR and VR gameplay to new levels of immersion!
Please note, this is hand tracking feature, and you need to hold the props to turn them into weapons. Currently, it is in the experimental stage, and only grip and trigger functions are supported. It cannot track individual fingers yet, and the tracking accuracy is still being improved. We will continue to refine it.



[h2]Seamless Integration with Your Environment[/h2]
Experience the next level of immersion with our Virtualized Environment feature, which automatically generates a game scene perfectly matched to your scanned room layout. Now you can freely engage in combat without worrying about bumping into walls!



The visuals are also more life-like than ever with the addition of adjustable lighting and shadows during passthrough.



We’ve made getting started easier with new side quests and dialogues to guide you through the adventure. Additionally, some talents in the Talent Temple now feature demonstration videos for better understanding, and each level will randomly spawn an extra weapon, unlocked through the Talent Temple, to keep your combat options fresh and exciting!

Mind Control Spell now supports voice recognition, allies can be controlled using voice commands! Simply say commands like stay, stop, idle, attack, go, follow, come, or back to seamlessly direct your NPC allies’ actions.
Additionally, with ModTK optimizations, you can now create voice-controlled mods, opening up endless possibilities for custom gameplay experiences.

Additionally, players can now kick-jump off other players’ heads, adding new tactical possibilities to combat. Alongside this, when taking damage, players will now see our newly designed **blood-splatter effects**, enhancing the visual feedback and immersion in every battle!
