Dread Templar - Halloween event countdown & contest reminder



Greetings Templars,

As you all know, Halloween is sadly over. Bummer! But it's not all gone yet!
In terms of our game's content, the Halloween event is still up and running until Wednesday 10th of November. Jump in to enjoy the festivities while they still last.

The doors to the Halloween realm will then be closed, and will re-open again as a Super Secret in one of the upcoming content updates. Thanks to your feedback and the love you've shown for the Halloween content, we've decided to make it a permanent addition to the game.



Furthermore, the minigame high score contest is still ongoing! Take part to claim your place on the upcoming in-game leaderboard.
Here's how to proceed:
  • Take a screenshot of your achieved high score in the Halloween shooting gallery minigame
  • Share it on Twitter and include the name you would like to be known in the game as
  • Tag the account @1C_Company and add the hashtags #DreadTemplar #Halloween #Contest


This Wednesday we will pick 10 highest submitted scores that will be featured on a leaderboard, introduced as an Easter Egg in an upcoming update. Here's your chance to become a part of the game forever.

Dread Templar 0.920f Hotfix Out Now



Good day, Templars!

We've been working on various improvements and today we're bringing you the latest Dread Templar Hotfix. You can look forward to:

  • The E1M2 "falling bug" fixed
    A bug caused by the last update, which prevented some players from proceeding from E1M1 to E1M2, has been fixed.

    Here's how to proceed: Please load your E1M1 save data. Take the elevator from E1M1 and you can now go to E1M2 as intended. Please do not load your E1M2 AUTOSAVE directly, the AUTOSAVE is not updating the player's location correctly.

  • Improvement: Unlock a new level in the Level Select mode
    Once you come to a new level in campaign mode, this level will be unlocked in Level Select mode right away (as opposed to previously having to be completed first).

  • Halloween... Forever?! πŸŽƒ
    We've been happy to hear that you guys enjoyed the Halloween special feature, and the feedback requesting it to stay in the game was immense! Sure enough, your wishes have been heard. For now, the Halloween event's features will close, but the full Halloween content will officially become a part of the game as a secret area in the upcoming EA Content Update #4 in December 2021.


Additionally, we have prepared a contest for all owners of Dread Templar - Take a screenshot of your achieved high score in the Halloween shooting gallery minigame, share it on Twitter and include the name you would like to be known in the game as, and the hashtags #DreadTemplar #Halloween #Contest and tag the account https://twitter.com/1C_Company. After the Halloween event ends, we will pick 10 highest submitted scores and they will be featured on a leaderboard in-game, introduced as an Easter Egg in an upcoming update!

We would also like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your feedback so far. It's given us a chance to smoothen the playing experience for everyone, and we will continue working on that even further.

Dread Templar Halloween Update 0.920b is here! πŸŽƒ



Greetings templars!

Halloween is right around the corner and we have prepared a very special update for all players!

Until November 11, a door close to the elevator at the end of the level in E1M1 is open, and a portal leading to the Halloween side area has been activated. You will face resurrected monsters and their master, Headless Necromancer - can you become their worst nightmare, again?

In the Halloween side area, you can:
  1. Obtain a Halloween-specific emblem Pumpkin Curse for your trap launcher, which greatly increases the damage of lightning stun and reduces the max HP of enemies. This effect will be more powerful during Halloween.
  2. Obtain several weapons in advance in E1M1, but they do not come for free - you need to explore the level, find special tokens or win them in a shooting gallery minigame, and exchange them for these weapons.
  3. Face the revenge of the Headless Necromancer - tell it who's the boss here!

Additionally, we have prepared a contest for all owners of Dread Templar - Take a screenshot of your achieved high score in the Halloween shooting gallery minigame, share it on Twitter and include the name you would like to be known in the game as, and the hashtags #DreadTemplar #Halloween #Contest and tag the account https://twitter.com/1C_Company. After the Halloween event ends, we will pick 10 highest submitted scores and they will be featured on a leaderboard in-game, introduced as an Easter Egg in an upcoming update!

Happy Halloween!πŸŽƒ
