Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon News

First Avowed, then Oblivion Remastered—it's shaping up to be a banner year for fans of first-person RPGs and it's only getting better. Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon released last week, joining the year's clearly very rich crop of first person explore-and-slash gaming...

[h2]After a long journey, we are finally here. [/h2]
Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon is OUT NOW on PC, Xbox X/S, and PlayStation 5!

First, let us start with a big THANK YOU! It was a long road, and for a big chunk of it, you stuck along with us. Whether it was through purchasing Early Access, offering a comment or feedback, adding a review, wishlisting, sharing the game with your friends, or taking part in beta testing, it helped us a lot to get to the finish line.

Tainted Grail is a product of the passion of an indie studio—we went from 20 people at the start of the project up to 50, now that we are on the finish line.



Also, let’s not forget our small publishing team who worked their asses off on the premiere too!

Now! Let us watch the release trailer together! :3

[h2]Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon[/h2]

We are EXTREMELY excited (and stressed :D) to invite you to 1.0 of Tainted Grail. We have always dreamed about making a game like that, a true RPG where, as a player, you can fully immerse yourself and freely explore a dark world with TONS of content.

Make friends, enemies, and, most importantly, amazing memories and stories you will take with you from dark, misty Avalon.

We wanted to give you, the player, full freedom of how you want to enjoy this world. No one is going to hold your hand here and force fetch quests. Hence, we hope that whenever two people who played Tainted Grail talk about it, their experiences will be so different, it will seem as if they played a different game!

We hope that we achieved our goal—but ultimately, you, the player, will be the judge of that!

So, on behalf of the whole Questline and Awaken Realms teams, we officially invite you to Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon! A lot of adventures await you here!

[h2]Reviews[/h2]

Here are a few of our favorite videos! We obviously love & appreciate every piece of coverage, but it would be hard to mention everything :D

[h2]Important information [/h2]

• 0.9 saves wipe
  With 1.0, we make one last save wipe. As explained before, we really do not like doing that, but we have to for technical reasons (as we clearly communicated with the 0.9 update).
  
• NO MORE save wipes!
  However! This is the LAST time. From now on, Early Access is officially over, and there will be no more save wipes. Ever. Finally!
  
• Bugs and problems
  We've been working tirelessly to eliminate as many technical issues as possible. However, given the sheer scope of the game, some may still slip through. If you encounter any problems, please report them—we'll be rolling out hotfixes as quickly as we can!
  
• TPP (third-person perspective)
  As we communicated in the last update, we managed to squeeze in the TPP perspective to the game, but we want to reiterate that this game was created with FPP in mind. TPP mode is playable but FAR from perfect.
  

[h2]Screenshots! [/h2]
One last time, let us share some screenshots from the game with you!


Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon has come a looooong way, hasn’t it? ;)

[h2]Roadmap [/h2]
Also, quite important, we have a roadmap of things to come! What to expect after 1.0?

• Hotfixes
  You can expect quite a lot of them in the next few weeks. Those will be small patches fixing some of the most common bugs and problems.
  
• Modding support
  In about a month, we will share the first mod tools, with more to come in the following months.
  
• Content patches
  We might also add some extra content after launch! That said, our team will be taking a much-needed break, so any additions will likely come 1–2 months post-premiere ;)
  
• Steamdeck upgrade
  We are working on a special build for the steam deck that will improve performance and quality of the play on this console. It will not be miraculous changes, but it should be very noticeable update.
  
  … And hopefully much more later down the line! 😉
  

[h2]
Okay! That’s it for today's update.[/h2]
Honestly, we are quite exhausted, as in the last few weeks we gave our 100%. But we could not be more proud and excited!

Enjoy the game! Thank you for being here, thank you for supporting us.

If you like Tainted Grail, we would really appreciate leaving a review and spreading the word! For an indie studio like ours, this goes A LONG WAY!

Take care, and enjoy your journey, Travelers!

If you are in the mood to play Skyrim or the recent Oblivion remaster, but you don't want to play a Microsoft-backed game for, oh, any number of reasons, the word on the grapevine is that open world RPG Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon is pretty decent. We don't have a review as yet, but Khee Hoon Chan called Questline's previous Tainted Grail: Conquest one of the best games you missed in 2021, and The Fall Of Avalon is currently humming along with an Overwhelmingly Positive Steam user consensus as it prepares to leave early access today. The Steam page also harbours a demo, plus the below, moderately thunderous trailer's worth of first-person spellcraft, shattered cosmic castles and fishing mechanics.

It’s hard to believe that there are only 3 DAYS LEFT until we launch Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon! Our goal of bringing you a full-fledged open-world RPG full of passion is almost complete. We have to admit, it’s kind of emotional!

So, on that occasion, we’ve crafted a brand-new story trailer to get you all in the mood. Take a look and get a glimpse of the dark Arthurian tale you’re about to witness (or rather, shape yourselves)!

Obviously, our Steam post couldn’t go without what we love the most—SCREENSHOTS! :D Enjoy the almost-last dump of pictures made in the game.



Lastly, we’d like to let you know that the Supporter’s Pack & Game’s Supporter’s Edition are now available for you to purchase! To reiterate our last Steam update, the pack itself is 9.99 USD and is 100% not needed to play the game, but we will be extremely grateful for any extra support!

[h3]The Supporter’s content includes:[/h3]

• Original Soundtrack (MP3); some examples below

• Digital Artbook (PDF)
  
  
• And most importantly… the shiny, one-and-only HORSE ARMOR, to ensure all enemies will be able to spot you from far away and appreciate the extraordinary protection of your mount!
  
  

That’s it for today! We’re going back to adding final touches to the game. Can’t wait for you to jump in and start the journey through Avalon!

Cheers, and see you in 3 days!
