Dread Templar Content Update #3 Is Here!



Hello Templars!

We've got some great news. The #3 content update (or as we like to call it, version 0.931b) for Dread Templar is out. It brings a new Game+ mode and expanded in-game settings so that you can customize your playing experience to the fullest.

Here's what's new:
  • A New Game+ option
  • New crosshair settings
  • Damage Indicator settings
  • Blood Screen settings
  • Screen Shake While Shooting settings


Let's have a closer look at the newly added features:

[h3]New Game+[/h3]

New Game+ (Alpha) is now available in the game. However, the second chapter is not the final chapter of the game, therefore it's likely to undergo some changes with the full release.



  • How to activate the New Game+ option?

For the players who have previously completed the game, the toggles for NG+ will be activated on the New Campaign selection menu.
  • What to do in case that the NG+ option doesn't show up?

Just interact with the final portal in E2M5 again. The system will save your data and show the NG+ options now.




[h3]New In-Game Settings:[/h3]

  1. New crosshair settings
  2. A new Damage Indicator option and its customization
  3. A new Blood Screen option and its customization
  4. A new Screen Shake While Shooting option for a more immersive experience


We'll be happy to hear your thoughts! Leave us a Review or join us on the Dread Templar Steam forum.
